From the reviews
For those whom are considering Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu PB. I will provide a compelling case why you should train with the Professor Gustavo and Professor Leo. I am currently training in Japan with Axis Tokyo/Yokohama. As soon as I walked through the doors, the first thing the Head Instructors said to me was "Ribeiro!".
Great instructors, welcoming group of people, fantastic gym. This is my first time training BJJ and I'm so glad that I came to Six Blades PB. I was a little shocked by how supportive the group at the gym is. Didn't really know what to expect.
My Children and my family love the leadership at Six Blades Jiu Jitsu. My kids workout 3 times a week and have chances to test their skills in friendly tournaments. They want to make their coaches and professor proud. It's is an encouraging and empowering environment.
I am very grateful to have a opportunity to train at their dojo when I’m in PB. It’s a clean place with a great atmosphere. Safe environment for women and kids; this place welcomes everyone who wants to learn this empowering martial arts called Jiu-Jitsu.
New to BJJ? Start at TFI Jiu Jitsu Pacific Beach
TFI Jiu Jitsu Pacific Beach comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 TFI Jiu Jitsu Pacific Beach
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.
