We recommend Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu!!!! The children really like it, they learn self-defense and self-discipline. Our boys are in the competition team, they have made even more friends. All the coaches are very good, they explain and teach the kids clearly. Individual approach to each child. Your kids can always try a free week but believe me, after the second day they will say sign me up!!!! Try, Try Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu!!!!! So a lot of time pased. We still have great experience!!!! My kids go to Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu for 3.5 years.They really love this sport!!! There is a competition team and my kids are in it. We go to tournaments and the coaches really support all of the kids also one tournament he came to it after his surgery he treats all of the kids like he probably would treat his. I feel that my kids are always safe with him and trained. One of my kids forgets his phone but when we came to get it, it was still there. We were s
My daughter has been attending this academy for the past three years, and I can’t speak highly enough about the incredible experience we’ve had. Coach Ryan and his team are truly exceptional when it comes to working with kids. They go above and beyond to create a positive, supportive, and welcoming environment for every student. What stands out the most is how much they genuinely care about the kids’ well-being—not just on the mat, but in their lives as a whole. The coaches consistently check in with me and other parents to see how the kids are doing, which shows a level of dedication and attentiveness you rarely find. They know how to connect with the children, making them laugh, feel at ease, and build confidence in a setting that can sometimes be intimidating for beginners. Beyond the techniques of jiu-jitsu, they teach valuable lessons about safety, respect, and how to carry themselves with integrity both on and off the mat. These l
The place, the people and the practice are all a different level. You walk through the front door and see pictures of all the members on a cork board. They are happy, excited and plentiful. There is a real sense of community. Literally people giving rides home or to practices. People getting together for birthdays and holidays. The facility is large. Lots of mat space for training, even the floor is raised to help eliminate injuries and wellbeing. It also boasts an ice bath, and infrared sauna for recovery. I noticed an AED machine. That alone, I have never seen at another Jiu-Jitsu location. If you look around the academy there are Rumba cleaning robots adding to cleanliness of the academy, as well as chess’s club, which I very much much like for the kids. They have an array of people training from police and firefighters to passionate Jiu-Jitsu competitors and even teachers. At this academy they practice both the traditional Gi style
My kids and I have been training with Ryan for a few years now and I cannot say enough good things about him, the academy, and all the staff/volunteer coaches. Not only have my kids gained skill, but they have also learned to better regulate their emotions through the ups and downs of training. It's also really cool to see the confidence boost that each kid has received after training for a while. I've seen the confidence grow not only on the mats, but in how they interact with other kids and even adults outside the academy. From the very beginning, Ryan sets very clear expectations for both the kids that train as well as the parents that choose to watch classes. He's created a culture that is welcoming and fun, but also challenging for everyone so that they can continue to improve. As both a parent of three kids that train and being a woman that trains, the culture of the academy is not only what brought us here, but what has kept us h
The studio is clean and well cared for, and you can tell how much pride they take in creating a great environment for the kids. Coach Ryan and his team are incredible - patient, fair, and supportive, but also firm in holding the kids to high expectations. They don’t let the kids whine or give up, and instead teach them the value of showing up, working hard, and pushing through challenges. This has been a game changer for our family. My two boys have been here for almost two years, and the confidence, discipline, and resilience they’ve gained is amazing. We’ve seen those lessons spill over into school and sports, and it’s made them stronger in every area of life. We just enrolled our youngest, and we’re excited to see him grow here too. Granite Bay Jiu Jitsu is more than just a place to train - it’s a community that helps kids build character, confidence, and grit.
We were honestly a bit worried at first because jiu-jitsu is a contact sport, and we didn’t know how our kids would feel about it. But from the very first day, the atmosphere made a huge difference. The coaches and the other kids were very welcoming and supportive, which helped our children feel comfortable right away. The instructors are professional, patient, and really know how to work with kids. You can see they care not only about technique, but also about building confidence and respect. We were also pleasantly surprised by the affordable price, especially considering the quality of training. And the free uniform was such a nice bonus. If I could suggest one small improvement, it would be adding a bit more physical conditioning and warm-up before sparring. I understand that fitting everything into a 45-minute class is not easy, but maybe even a few extra exercises could make it even better. Overall, we are very happy we chose this
