The Jiu-Jitsu League

We had a blast at the annual Christmas party. If you need to learn how to defend yourself around really sweet and supportive people, The Jiu Jitsu league is for you.

I called to ask about training here while visiting from Out of town. The owners responded very quickly and were helpful in getting me current schedule details. So I Dropped in for a no-gi a.m. class. I’m a novice who has only been training a few months. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly and trained safely. Gym was super clean and all county covid health mandates were followed. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area. Great atmosphere and training partner.

Let me tell you about what kind of people the owners of Jiu Jitsu League are.

Only a month or two after joining, I decided to fundraise for a 5k run for non-profit event for Parkinson's disease research for my father. Of all my friends and family, Hayley and Kevin were the FIRST to donate money to my fundraiser. Totally unexpected and appreciated. I honestly thought I was just going to be a number like any typical gym membership. They and all the members have been super supportive with me inside and outside of Jiu Jitsu.

Let me tell you about what kind of people I meet at the Jiu Jitsu League.

I live in a neighborhood with the worst parking conditions. I took an Uber to class one night. After one of basic classes, one of the members who I JUST met during that same class offered me a ride home. I could have been a serial killer or lived in Canada, but that member offered me a ride in his car without even knowing me.

Everyone at the gym is supportive and friendly. I was able to make friends very fast. There hasn't been anyone I didn't like or am afraid of.

The new location has plenty of parking, larger mat space, a filtered water fountain. There is a minimalist feel to the new gym. Less is more.

There is a Starbucks, Chipotle, BWW, Ralphs grocery store, Ulta, AMC, Barnes and Nobles, BOA ATM and local shops/restaurants that share the same plaza as the gym.

The gym schedule is awesome. In addition to their schedule, they now offer 9AM drilling classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. There is even Open Mat on Sundays too!

The gym also uses a brand new $500 Dyson vacuum cleaner to clean the mats. I bet there is no other gym in the universe that has invested in a Dyson to clean their gym.

There is positive karma and good vibes glowing out of this place. You don't meet great, genuine, and kind people like this everyday.

I will defiantly stay as long as I can here. I am extremely thankful to be part of this community. Thank you Kevin and Hayley!

I’ve been coming here for over a year and I can honestly say this is the most welcoming dojo I’ve ever been to! EVERYONE is humble and willing to learn from one another. The energy in this place is fantastic because the way it’s run. Professor Kevin Howell and his wife, Haley Howell (brown belt) and great. I was hooked on the first night. Now they’re family.

an amazing bjj school. I can say with absolute honesty that this is one of "thee" best places to study. Great atmosphere, good people and stellar training. the head coach Kevin Howell has trained and studied under some of the best to ever do it. He is a wealth of knowledge on old school techniques and blends it well with the new school. if you are passing through and love bjj they are friendly to visitors. If looking for a great place to learn bjj, this place has it all. giants to the small and young to the....not so young, all getting it done together. Kevin Howell knowledge in bjj is staggering. Always improving always pushing us. I've had the good fortune of making this place my home. come over and get a roll for yourself, you will see what I mean.
