I’ve been procrastinating writing this review for over a year now because I knew I wouldn’t be able to put into words just how much this place means to me. But I’ll try. I began training at Six Blades Pacific Beach in March 2022. I’d never trained jiu jitsu a day in my life; but from the moment I walked into the gym, I felt welcomed. I went to an evening class, and Professor Gustavo was teaching. Among many many skills, Profess Gustavo has an intuitive understanding of how people tick and what they need to feel safe and inspired. For me, that meant giving me two individual lessons to familiarize me with basic jiu jitsu movements so I would feel comfortable in my first classes. It also meant pairing me up with training partners who are kind, patient, and good at explaining concepts to beginners. Professor Gustavo, Professor Leo, and the other coaches have clearly fostered a community that emphasizes acceptance, kindness, and hospitality
Great instructors, welcoming group of people, fantastic gym. This is my first time training BJJ and I'm so glad that I came to Six Blades PB. I was a little shocked by how supportive the group at the gym is. Didn't really know what to expect. Everyone is friendly, takes time to get to know you and will happily explain things. The instructors are so knowledgeable, but also really understand how to coach clearly. They make classes easy to follow. The classes are for all levels of experience and there are a variety of different times that work for all schedules. Also gi, nogi, judo, wrestling etc. The gym is extremely clean, prices are very fair and overall, I cannot imagine a better experience. Feel like I have a solid community and a home here. If you're thinking of trying BJJ or looking for a new gym, highly recommend.
Six Blades Pacific Beach is hands down the best academy I’ve ever trained at! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching. Whether you’re a beginner or well experienced, they make you feel welcome and help you progress at your own pace. The environment is supportive, and the community is amazing—everyone is friendly, respectful, and eager to help each other improve. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and provides a great space for training. I also appreciate their dedication to teaching kids. The instructors do an incredible job instilling discipline, confidence, and resilience in young students while keeping classes fun and engaging. If you’re looking for a top-tier Jiu Jitsu academy in San Diego, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!
For those whom are considering Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu PB. I will provide a compelling case why you should train with the Professor Gustavo and Professor Leo. I am currently training in Japan with Axis Tokyo/Yokohama. As soon as I walked through the doors, the first thing the Head Instructors said to me was "Ribeiro!". Ribeiro family and Six Blades are respected around the world for their style of timeless Jiu-Jitsu. Pressure Passing! Professor Gustavo and Professor Leo will provide you the foundation to understand the Pressure, Flow, and Finish concept. This style led Sensei's to multiple World Championship successes. The environment is family-oriented with a competitive style as many of the members are active competitors. Women, children, teens, and adults are welcomed and each person is able to grow at their own pace. Best environment for new students or advance training. OSS
A Welcoming and Challenging Jiu-Jitsu Community The instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive! Professor Gustavo is an incredible teacher. His attention to detail and ability to break down complex techniques has made learning so much easier for my daughters. He's also incredibly patient and always willing to answer questions. My girls have learned so much! The staff and students are incredibly welcoming. Everyone is supportive of each other, regardless of skill level. It's a great place to learn and grow, both as a martial artist and as a person. The mats are always clean, and the facility is well-equipped with everything you need for training. The membership rates are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the instruction and the facilities. Needless to say we love our Six Blades Family and am sure you will love it to!
Six Blades Pacific Beach is a great martial arts school. The head instructor is very skillful, kind, and has years of experience teaching and training. He is very personable, the dojo is clean, and the students are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. My son trained in three classes while we were on vacation and learned a ton. I personally have trained in martial arts for 50 years, and I know skill when I see it. I am also a retired Physical Education teacher 33 years teaching, and my opinion is Professor Gustavo is an amazing teacher! I am a retired public-school teacher and now I actually own a karate school in WA state and if we lived n San Diego, I would have my son training here. This is the place, check them out. This is a Great School!!!!
