Great teacher. Exhibits a lot of passion for the sport, and that shows in his enthusiasm during class. Does a good job explaining the mechanics of each move and guiding students through issues. Brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience from a lifetime in the sport. Definitely recommend for beginners and veterans alike.

Jesse is a great teacher for all levels of experience. He really takes time to answer questions and is very technical in his approach. I definitely recommend taking any of Jesse’s classes you won’t regret it!

I tried BJJ once before and my experience was mediocre enough to not give it a second go. Jesse convinced me to try his class, and since then I’ve been hooked. The experience was and is top notch. Although his classes can be intense and challenging, he is constantly encouraging me and others to believe in ourselves to overcome difficult things. He is a wealth of knowledge and is undeniably passionate about this sport and the development of those that stick to it. If you’re thinking about trying Jiu-Jitsu, look no further than Jesse Palmer Jiu-Jitsu. You won’t regret it.

Coach Palmer has been great with kids. Every class they’re learning something different and coach goes around to ensure each student is doing it correctly. Sunday classes are great because there are a lot more endurance drills they work through to build stamina and strength. He runs class with a good amount of toughness with a little coddling for the much younger kids. Older kids he tell push to try different moves and refuses to let them use the same submission or hold. Class runs an hour ish long to ensure they get a few rounds of matches amongst the group. My 7 and 10 year old girls do this and TKD and I feel like one helps the other learning new techniques and builds strength and character. Definitely worth a try, we stumbled upon it after missing their TKD class and they’ve been in it for about 7 months now

My son has been training Jiu-Jitsu with Coach Jesse for 2 years, and I can honestly say he’s an incredible coach. If anyone I know is even slightly interested in Jiu-Jitsu, Jesse is always my top recommendation. He’s not just dedicated to teaching—he clearly loves what he does and has a true passion for Jiu-Jitsu.
When my son started, he was shy and timid, but over these 2 years, I’ve seen an amazing transformation. He’s become so much more confident and resilient, and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. If you’re thinking about Jiu-Jitsu for your child, I can’t recommend Coach Jesse enough. My son was so lucky to have found such an outstanding coach from the very beginning!

I train with Jesse Palmer every Tuesday and Thursday night and have learned a lot so far. A great leader on and off the mats. As a purple belt, I can say he is a pushes you to become a better athlete and teaches you to use new skills to unlock your untapped potential. With a wide variety of guard and passing skills, he is able to coach students from beginners to high performance black belts

Jesse’s reputation precedes him, but I was very impressed the first time I took a class from him. He is a great teacher that pushes his students even if they don’t want to compete. He brings a rare blend of intelligence, technique and power that transfers over to his students.

Professor Palmer is world-class, as an athlete and as an instructor. With his ability to break down the finer details of each technique, improvement is inevitable. Highly-recommended.

I started going to Jesse a few months ago and love it! He’s a great professor and really cares about his students advancing in their performance. He does expect you to work hard, but has the patience to really breakdown techniques for you to be able to understand. Thanks to him and the rest of the class, I can say I’ll do bjj for life! I’m hooked!

I love training here! Jesse is super proficient when it comes to high level jiujitsu, he teaches us everything from the fundamentals to the highest technical tricks. His emphasis on good warm up and stretching is so important as it reduces injuries. I’ve been training with him for over a year and been doing jiujitsu for 10 years.
