From the reviews

Had the pleasure of meeting and training with Professor Jeysen at my local and home gym in Yucaipa. Super informative and helpful from beginner to advanced level. If you live in the area of Colton this is a great opportunity to learn from one of the best.

★★★★★ — Cayden, Aug 2024

My sons had the privilege to train under Professor Jeysen Santiago for a while. Professor Jeysen is highly knowledgeable, skilled, and has a unique ability to break down complex techniques into understandable steps. The classes are well-structured, catering to all levels from beginners to advanced.

★★★★★ — Leonor, Aug 2024

What can I said about Professor Jeysen, it's one of the most real instructor as a Bjj, not only has and extraordinary experience to teach, it's one of the most competitor person, I been seen him grew up so much as a person and as and instructor, if you really want to train with a professional champion go with him you…

★★★★★ — Roberto, Aug 2024

My daughter has been coming here for almost 3 years. She loves it and professor jeysen is the best. He works good with the kids. My daughter is in his advance kids class and she has learned so much already. And loves learning more everyday. It's very family oriented. He also has adult classes.

New to BJJ? Start at JEYSEN SANTIAGO BJJ HQ

JEYSEN SANTIAGO BJJ HQ comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first BJJ class at JEYSEN SANTIAGO BJJ HQ

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
