From the reviews
One of the most intimate martial arts experiences in San Diego. Fundementals and technique are paramount at Strong Base Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I started there over a year ago and already feel much more confident in my ability to defend myself than with any other martial art instruction I have ever received
Love this place! As a mother of 3 girls wanted them to take self defense classes. Thought my girls would not like the sport and ended up falling in love with it.
Starting jiu jitsu with no background in martial arts was hard but the instructors at strong base are patient and help you improve little by little . 8 years in i continue too attend and as a 16 year old girl i feel safe with not only the knowledge i know now of jiujitsu and learning with both men and women but also…
My wife and I have no experience in martial arts, however, we decided to join the Strong Base Jiu Jitsu Studio to improve our physical health. The atmosphere is great and everyone is friendly and encouraging. The instructor is very knowledgeable and his students make you feel like family.
New to BJJ? Start at Strong Base Jiu Jitsu
Strong Base Jiu Jitsu 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 Strong Base Jiu Jitsu
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.
