“If you are looking for a place where you want your kids to build confidence, grow socially and want them to feel safe with the staff, I would HIGHLY recommend Sampa to any parent.”
“My daughter competes and is helped by all the teachers when she needs it.”

From the reviews
My kids started here in January. My husband started shorty after. I recently started after my husband talked me into it. We were all able to try the free trial. Finding this place has been a blessing. My kids 10, 5 love it and have already grown so much.
My kids have been coming to Sampa for a year now. My son has really opened up not only socially but he is more attentive and disciplined. The coaches and professor are great, they really care about the kids.
I am a retired military veteran and a stay at home dad. I tried so many sports but my young daughter prefers Jiu Jitsu. She is very committed to the art. She has been with Sampa for over 3 years and has been taught by all the Professors and coaches. She loves and respects all of them.
We’ve been part of the Sampa Jiu Jitsu Academy family for just about a month now, and we are already seeing incredible progress with our son, who turns 4 in August. Enrolling him even a few months shy of 4 in the 4–7-year-old class has been one of the best decisions we’ve made.
Your first BJJ class at Sampa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fontana
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.
