Impact Jiu Jitsu Albuquerque is a fantastic family gym offering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts to adults and children of all ages and experience levels. The gym is known for its exceptional instruction, talent, and long history. The place is very clean, well-organized, and the people are very friendly, personable, and kind. Members describe it as a welcoming community where everyone feels valued. The coaches put thought and intention behind coaching even their littlest members, with classes starting at a young age. They lead by example as the kindest, most helpful, patient, good people. For many, it is a place where women do not feel singled out but instead feel like a person learning jiu jitsu in a comfortable environment. The first Friday women’s class is a noted highlight. The dedication to personal growth, love of the sport, and respect for one another sets the academy apart. Instructors thoroughly explain techniques that feel applicable to real scenarios, focusing on practical applicability. Open mat sessions are fun to attend, where coaches and competitors work hard, build skills, and have a good time with respect and integrity. The overarching sentiment is clear: good people, good jiu jitsu.
This gym is perfect, I was able to drop in and get into a class right away. The people that work there and the people that go are really cool and fun to work with. You get a warm welcome, its nice.

I was on a short trip from California to visit some family and wanted to get a few rolls in, in between activities and tried Impact Jiu-Jitsu. Ben and his wife Kayda we're so kind, accommodating, and they just made me feel extremely welcomed. I felt at home. I look forward to training again next time I'm in town ☺️!

Impact let me drop in earlier this year while on a work trip and ran a great, mid-day no gi class. Instructional part of class was great and then did some positional sparring followed by live rounds. Will go back when Im in town!
