Training under Coach MiGs in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has truly been a life-changing experience. From the very first day I stepped into his class, I felt welcomed with open arms.

★★★★★ — Koll, Feb 2025

I came from a different jiu jitsu gym and it didn’t really work out at my last place. I was pretty intimidated to continue trying jiu jitsu, but I’m so glad I found SyQ jiu jitsu. Coach Miguel has done an incredible job at creating a welcoming yet challenging culture here.

★★★★★ — Kenny, Apr 2025

SyQ jiu-jitsu might be an new gym in the San Diego area but the instructor has a lot of years under his belt teaching and competing in jiu-jitsu. Coach Migs has created a family oriented approach to teaching jiu-jitsu. The environment he has created among his students makes it comfortable in learning a difficult sport.

Your first BJJ class at SyQ 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. 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.
