Over due!! I have to say that I really love this place. The camaraderie, the workout, the professors (specially Prof Ron, I'm biased!). I sincerely recommend this place. I've been going a few times a week for the last 4-5 months and even though I don't attend as much as I'd like, I can definitely see an improvement in the things I've learned.

I LoVe it at Jiyu Bjj! The most down to earth Martial Arts gym in Santa Clarita! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and patient with everyone, especially with new students. The passion they have for their art really shines through in their daily teachings. They've created a welcoming environment where you always feel like you belong. Unlike other local schools/gyms, there's NO intimidation, NO Drama and NO Cult! The Jiu Jitsu program is an evolving one, its foundation ranges from Classic to Modern Bjj styles. Other available programs include; Boxing, Fitness & Karate. Classes for kids and adults. The kids Jiu Jitsu program is unlike any other, where the kids actually have fun!! The Professors and coaches really have a way with getting through to the kids! Come by and see for yourself!I've been training Jiu Jitsu for the last 16+ years. During that time, I've trained at a couple other gyms and they don't compare in regards to ethics, teachings, cleanliness, environment & respect level. My teammates are seriously the best people! Jiyu is truly an overlooked hidden gem! The Lead Professor, Ron Dinson is as cool as they come. His passion for Jiu Jitsu is contagious and it shines through in his teachings and training! He is encouraging and eager to help you improve your skills. There are also 3 other Black Belts promoted under Prof Ron Dinson who share their wealth of knowledge in traditional and modern styles of Jiu Jitsu. We are seriously fortunate to learn from 4 Black Belts and their decades of experience! The diverse knowledge base and passion for teaching has been beneficial to us all! Along with all the awesome Coaches, they all do really want you to succeed!Positivity radiates the moment you walk into the gym!I definitely recommend you check out Jiyu BJJ for yourself! Go try out some classes for FREE!! You have nothing to lose!!

Honestly, this place is absolutely amazing. Every day when I walk in everyone welcomes me with a smile, this place is more than ann academy it’s a place where you meet amazing friends, coaches and professors.I see everyone as a mentor because I take every single tip from them for me to remember in the future. I wish I would’ve sign up before but now that I’m here I look forward to learn from every single one every day. And give the best of me.

The place is amazing with teachers that will help you every step of the way, one of them is Ron and he’s an awesome teacher and person, the students are great and very friendly, at the end of the hour they (Students) will ask you to roll with them, so you’re getting 1 hour and then 30 minute or more, extra to roll with someone. I’m highly recommend.

I absolutely love this place. I highly recommend them! I wanted to find a new hobby and checked out 4 different JJ gyms and this one was by far my favorite. Instructors get 5/5 for sure. I am a slow learner when it comes to physical stuff like dance routines and memorizing moves it is not my strongest talent but the way they teach here REALLY helps is sink in. They truly teach you like they care and make sure you got it down I never once felt embarrassed to keep getting help to perfect the details. I can not stress enough what a positive experience I had here. As far as cost value again I must rate highly. For what they offer I feel the cost is a fair deal which only helps the experience feel satisfying knowing its not a huge strain or feeling you're not getting enough from it for the cost. It's a bummer such healthy activities are out of reach for so many adults and kids who need a health hobby the most so I am always happy to see a business having reasonable prices and giving quality service. One thing I really apricate about this gym is I found their schedule to be the flexible and cooperative giving a little more variety. There was times I would be there early to avoid going home after work and back tracking the drive and they would always offer for me to join in on another class they offered which made this place worth being a little more out of my way. The other gyms and instructors were also very nice in Santa Clarita but I can honestly say this is the only place where it felt above and beyond. The other classes I took made it difficult to really get any moves down and difficult to retain and felt rushed along with too many students per instructor. At Jiyu I learned so much even just in a couple weeks, even when taking a class with more advanced people I never felt out of place and this is coming from someone who was slightly uneasy going into something totally new like this! I really liked the instructors there, they are so talented not just in JJ but in teaching. They have wonderful energy and give 100% to their students.I will also say I really enjoyed the type of students that attended here as well. There is just some vibe set here where everything was really welcoming and friendly. I wish I was still able to attend unfortunately for me I took too much time trying out different gyms and my time here ended early once I had to move! :( I Miss going here and I hope I am able to find an equivalent experience in OC. Thank you Jiyu!!! You guys rock!

I came to Jiyu for their women's self defense class and had a great time! I don’t consider myself a very strong person so I was worried this would be a challenge for me. The coaches and professors were all so helpful and I was surprised with how much I was able to accomplish after just one class. I’m looking forward to taking another class and bringing some friends!

Had a really great experience at Jiyu. Professor has a really great approach that’s different from other jiujitsu gyms I’ve been to. He actually has a curriculum which is great for people new to the sport. I’m definitely going back, thanks Jiyu!

Went for an evening class and it was my first time doing jiujitsu so I was pretty nervous but everybody was so nice and other students took the time to explain things and drill everything extra slow so I would get it. Definitely will hit up Jiyu again when I come back to California!

Such an amazing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu school in Santa Clarita. Ray, Jen, and Ron are seasoned veterans and great BJJ instructors which is hard to find. They truly care about their members. Everyone is super welcoming. Overall great place to train.

This place is amazing if you want to learn a new skill set. Professor Ron is great and truly wants you to succeed. The Brazilian jiu jitsu has a fun adult class that ranges from new learners to experienced people. They have a fun atmosphere and will guarantee that you will make new friends. Definitely worth it cannot recommend it enough weather you want to compete, learn something new, or just find a fun way to get exercise. This is the way to go!

I've known professor Ron for almost a decade and I'm still amazed how he keeps learning and adding to his Jiu Jitsu technique and ability to teach it. The school is always clean and everyone is welcoming, friendly and dedicated to learning the great martial art, Jiu Jitsu. Highly recommended!
