Checkmat Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not just a gym—it's our sanctuary, our second home. Enrolling our whole family in the family membership several years ago was one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the moment we stepped onto the mats, we were embraced by a community of support and camaraderie. The classes, tailored for both kids and adults, have not only helped us improve our physical fitness and self-defense skills but have also instilled in us a sense of discipline and resilience that extends far beyond the gym walls. As a woman, the women's self-defense class holds a special place in my heart, providing invaluable tools and confidence to navigate challenging situations. But beyond the techniques and workouts, it's the instructors who have truly become our second family. Their unwavering dedication, patience, and encouragement have empowered us to push our limits and achieve goals we never thought possible. They've not only ta
Before leaving Checkmat in Northridge, I had to look for another Checkmat in Folsom. Low and behold there is a Checkmat Folsom. My kids and I joined and the wife approved. It’s a great place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In the kids classes the kids are focused from the moves Professor Eli teaches. There are adult and other students helping professor Eli with the kids to ensure they are doing the moves correctly or if they need motivation or stuck on any moves they need help with. As for the adults class, everyone in class is helpful and there is no ego. There’s multiple bathrooms, change rooms, lots of space to train, lots of room for family to sit and watch. Jiu jitsu will change your life, it’s the source.
My 5 year old grandson and I have been training at Beda Jiu Jitsu for about 6 months and absolutely love it! The school has a very family-oriented environment that is welcoming to people of all ages, backgrounds and athletic abilities. The tuition structure is affordable for those wanting to enroll multiple family members. The youth classes are a lot of fun while teaching the kids self-defense, respect, and discipline. My grandson's confidence and physical capabilities have improved tremendously. The adult classes are very well coached. The black belts are friendly and helpful, always willing to share their knowledge and skills. I have found my fellow students and training partners to be very respectful and mindful of safe training.
Absolutely — here’s the updated five-star review with BEDA BJJ throughout: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for BEDA BJJ – Folsom, CA I was traveling to Sacramento from out of town for work and reached out to BEDA BJJ in Folsom. From the very first message, they were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. The owner, Professor Beda, was friendly, down-to-earth, and made me feel right at home the moment I walked through the door. The gym itself is large, well-run, and full of genuinely good people. Everyone I trained with was supportive, respectful, and knowledgeable. One of the things that impressed me most was the diversity on the mats—beginners, intermediate students, and advanced practitioners all training side-by-side in a positive, encouraging environment. I was able to roll with people of varying skill levels and styles, and every round was both challenging and enjoyable. The instruction at BEDA BJJ is excellent. The coaches do a gre
I highly recommend Beda Jiu Jitsu. Our family of 6 has been members there for over a year. The owners and coaches are very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. To us, going to Beda Jiu Jitsu feels like our second home where we are with family. They offer a variety of classes such as Gi, No Gi, Open Mat, and Functional Training. They accommodate all levels and ages. They offer free trial class so you can check it out for yourself. See you on the mat. Oss!
My kids have been attending BJJ here for nearly a year, and we love it! Our kids look forward to class and miss it dearly when they can't make it. The coaches are plentiful, accessible and very knowledgeable, who have even given extra time to help our kids when needed. Our kids have excelled because of their care and the care of helpful students. I have often discussed with other parents of the students about how good the community is at CHECKMAT. I personally believe that Eli and Brandy have created a purposeful, approachable, and family-friendly environment. My baby has grown to love it there too!
