If I could give more than 5 stars, and this is my review! Our family - my son and I - have been students at Saline Jiu Jitsu since 2025, and we truly feel fortunate to have found this school. The classes are taught with professionalism, deep technical knowledge, and a strong foundation in both BJJ and self‑defense. The gym is exceptionally clean and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes it feel like home. It’s the place we genuinely love coming back to. Coach Matt teaches far more than what happens on the tatami. Alongside technique, you learn patience, understanding, respect, and how to carry yourself with confidence in life outside the gym. This is a place where you grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Coach Matt brings tremendous experience and insight to every class. Everything he teaches has purpose. He ensures that students feel comfortable, supported, and - above all - safe. His dedication to the school and to each student i
For years I had wanted to start training Jiu Jitsu. Saline JJ opened up at a perfect location and my brother and I decided to try the free trial class. Coach Matt and all of his students made us feel welcomed and were all friendly. It was an easy choice coming back. Coach Matt is extremely skilled and having Gracie Family lineage is a huge Green Flag! Not to mention he is an excellent instructor and great to be around. Almost half a year has gone by and I truly believe we could not have found a better academy to start the journey and get on the Path.
I’ve been training at SJJ, for 7 months and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned grappler, this gym has something for everyone. Coach Matt is phenomenal—deeply knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping you improve. Every class is structured in a way that builds both your technique and your confidence. You’re not just learning moves; you’re learning why they work. What really sets this gym apart is the community. From day one, I felt welcomed. There’s no ego here—just a group of people who love Jiu Jitsu and want to grow together. It’s the kind of place where higher belts will take time to help lower belts, and everyone celebrates each other’s progress
I've been training with Coach Matt Miller since 2017 and know firsthand how great of an instructor and how knowledgeable he is.....I definitely recommend Matt and Saline Jiu Jitsu to learn and better your self defense skills as well as your jiu jitsu.
I love training here under coach Matt. He has true Gracie family lineage, a great approach to training and class structure, and is an all around great dude. All members here are great training partners and the academy in general is very welcoming and relaxed.
We have been going to Saline Jiu Jitsu for a few months now, and Coach Matt is excellent with our daughter. He keeps the class of young kids moving forward seamlessly, even when they get a bit chaotic. Could not recommend Saline Jiu Jitsu more!
