From the reviews
Hands down thee best place to learn REAL Self Defense!! They have kids “Bully Proof” classes, women’s self defense classes, street ready fundamental classes, and Advanced classes. They have something for everyone, each with its individual focuses in real life scenarios.
I have been training with Javier for about 4 years and now my 5 year daughter is enrolled. Class times make it easy for the both of us to train. The facility is very clean and inviting.
His unique style of teaching and attention to detail will have you mastering this art in ways you never thought you could. A genuine love for the art of Jiu Jitsu coupled with a teachers heart makes him one of the most formidable masters on the planet.
Javier Vasquez is a legend, great professor, beat Cancer and survived many obstacles yet he's still one of the greats. I come to class and get great instruction with super cool training mates. Great environment to learn BJJ.
New to BJJ? Start at JV Jiu Jitsu Rancho Cucamonga - Javier Vazquez
JV Jiu Jitsu Rancho Cucamonga - Javier Vazquez 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 JV Jiu Jitsu Rancho Cucamonga - Javier Vazquez
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.
