Awesome experience. Jake and his staff are the real deal and true masters of their craft. Kids classes are a well rounded mix of warm up, conditioning, and developing techniques. Class left my 9 y/o daughter exhausted and excited for her next class.

Amazing experience thus far training at North Coast Jiu jitsu. Jake and his professors have a strong emphasis on training the right way for all levels. Whether you want to focus on self-defense or be competitive, this is right school for you. Family wise, there are a ton of kids and teens enrolled in those classes, so the family environment is very strong. 10/10

Looking to train Jiu Jitsu in north county? Look no further! North Coast Jiu Jitsu is the perfect place to call home. Its an outstanding school with a great atmosphere and top level training. A few of my favorite things about North Coast Jiu Jitsu are that the coaches and students are really helpful and welcoming, and there is a mix of jiu jitsu styles for everyone. The detailed instruction from Professor Jake Mapes has led to improvements in my technique and skill and made a noticeable difference in my training. I know the team can do the same for you! Try it for yourself! North Coast Jiu Jitsu!

Love this place. Best instructors. Incredible atmosphere. I’ve trained all over the country for the past 11 years. This place is the best. Come check it out!

North Coast Jiu Jitsu is in a league of its own. Great location, welcoming environment, great community of teammates, and world class instruction. Its more than just a gym its a community with the feel of family. Professor/owner Jake Mapes truly cares about each and every student, so it should come as no surprise that the gym reflects this philosophy.

NCJJ is the best place Ive trained, hands down. I have trained at other gyms over the last few years and nothing can match the vibe of the classes or the knowledge of Jake. If you want to push yourself and compete, there are competition focused classes. If you want to learn, there are mellow intro classes. Everyone is supportive and looks out for each other. Overall, I wouldnt recommend anywhere but NCJJ 🤙

Great gym! The family atmosphere makes working out fun. Professor Jake and the coaches are all very knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommend!

My son (9yr) and husband have been going for a couple years now and it has been amazing for both of them. The coaches are amazing and we love seeing our son learn new skills while staying active. Evenings at NCJJ is an amazing way to wear out an active kiddo!

The best school in all of north county. Knowledgeable and personable instructors with top notch technique and an awesome training environment. Highly recommended to anyone.

I have been going to north coast bjj for almost a year. The coaching is amazing and the environment makes it easy to learn

Terrific staff, culture and facility. Welcoming and familial environment, this is truly a great getaway from the stress and pace of everyday life. All three of my children (9,5, and 3) attend as well and teaches them sportsmanship, discipline and team work.

I have been attending this gym for about a month with my son and I have been impressed with the gym. The facility is clean and well taken care of and the camaraderie of the patrons is clear. This family orientated gym is an excellent place to practice jiu-jitsu and a great place for a beginner to start in a welcoming environment.I would highly recommend this gym to family and friends if your are interested in jiu-jitsu or improving your overall fitness. Thanks Jake and Chris for welcoming us and looking forward to the next roll!

Best training in all of North County. Jake Mapes runs a legit program. If you are looking for the best nogi and gi coaching, this is where you need to be. You will not be disappointed! Excellent kids program aswell!

North coast jiu jitsu has great staff, friendly members and clean mats. Everyone is welcome. I highly recommend this place for beginners and experts.

Ive been training here since theyve opened and glad I did! Jake and Kris are exceptionally skilled on the mats and both have their own style. Everyone is friendly, supportive and push each other to get better. My wife trains here also, and their kids program looks amazing as well. Fun for the whole family!

Jake and Kris are both amazing instructors who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in Jiu Jitsu. The academy is clean and filled with a welcoming atmosphere. Classes are frequent so it’s perfect for someone with a hectic schedule. The students are very welcoming and respectful. Definitely recommend this academy to anyone interested!

We are very fortunate to have come across this Jiu Jitsu school. We signed up our 7 year old son first and he loved it, now our 4 year old daughter is taking classes as well. Jake, Chris, and Taylor are fantastic instructors who not only show plenty of patience, but have helped teach our kids focus and discipline. My sons second grade teacher even remarked that hes more focused and on task in class, I attribute that directly to North Coast Jiu Jitsu as its been a challenge for him in the past. Highly recommended!

Looked and looked for a Academy after moving from downtown San Diego. Came in for a free class and joined the same night! Very low-key and friendly environment, exactly what I wanted. Great variety of classes (striking and wrestling too) and great instructors. Pay them a visit!

Jake and Kris are both awesome coaches. Theyre very knowledgeable and will definitely help you get to the next level. There is plenty of mat space and its super clean. Theres space and equipment to work out. Best thing is that theyre open 7 days a week and everyone is very welcoming.

Great place to have your little ones start their Jiu Jitsu training. The coaches are great. I always recommend this place to any of my mom friends looking to put their little ones in self defense.

This place is amazing. Kris and Jake are both dedicated coaches with a ton of patience. Its a bit daunting going into a place where you are brand new... but Jake and Kris make you feel at home, and keep showing you techniques to build up your confidence. Ive been going for a few months now, and I think I caught the bug.

I was lucky enough to visit this school for their grand opening. Top notch guys. Great training and extremely hospitable. If youre from the area, this place will make an excellent home gym.

Jake and Chris have put together a very well thought out program. Physically the gym is very simple and clean and free of distractions, with mats upstairs and down as well as showers and some lifting equipment for strength and conditioning.They offer a great schedule with many options to train so that no matter how crazy your life is you can always find some quality mat time at least a couple times a week.They are very detail oriented and willingly share those details to make your technique crisp and effective, and go out of their way to coach their students during class.All the training partners are very respectful and great to roll with, no matter if its their first days or if theyve been around a long time.Im very happy to train in a quality school with quality people, and happily recommend anyone who might be interested check it out! You will be happy you did!

I’ve been coming here for almost 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. The jiujitsu is next level. Professors Kris and Jake are great. They treated me like family since day one!

Centrally located, clean facility with top notch instructors. They have created an awesome environment where it is obvious that they are truly passionate about the individual students success. You absolutely must check out NCJJ!

If youre in Vista. Come check out the professionals here at North Coast Jiu Jitsu. Great atmosphere and awesome instructors. Great job guys!

Clean and great atmosphere. Everyone is friendly. The coaches and staff knowledgeable. Peaceful environment to learn.

North Coast has been my BJJ home for the last several months since moving and since theyve opened. Looked around for several weeks, checked out other gyms, and made the decision to join the NCBJJ family. It was the right decision. Both coaches, Jake and Kris, take the time to explain techniques and progression of moves. They are laid back and fun and yet explosive and competitive. I truly enjoy that these professors are hands-on. No sitting in the corner. They roll and roll...Im looking forward to the growth of the team. Clean facility. Truly a family...Egos at the doors...kids program rocks

I bring my 5 year old daughter here. All I can say is these guys are great with all kids of all shapes and sizes. They have every type of personality in this class and they deal with all of them well. They are great a teaching jiu jitsu and should probably start a day care service as well ;) seriously though Great job guys thanks.

Jake and Kris are in a class of their own. Their knowledge, patience with new students, friendliness, and ability to communicate the lesson in an easy to understand way makes for a fantastic environment to learn.

Great facility for all levels and all ages. This is going to be an amazing addition to the city of Vista.

Best place in north county to train jiu jitsu, great coaching great team

Stopped by one afternoon to just check out the number of classes and times they offered. End up talking with Kris for about 15mins and felt really at home. Met Jake a couple of days later while joining in on the no-gi class, very happy with what these 2 coaches have to offer.

Great place and great teachers

Jake and Kris both offer a wealth of brazilian jiujitsu knowledge and experience. The facility is very clean, and offer 2 large mat spaces and a gym area.

If youre looking for a place to learn and train jiu jitsu in the area, this is a great place! The coaches Jake and Kris are knowledgeable and do a great job teaching all ages and levels. They offer a broad schedule, which makes it possible to find a few days each week to train, and they provide a variety of different classes. So whether you want to learn self-defense, train in a gi, or do no gi, you will find something youd enjoy.

This is a world class jiujitsu school with an amazing kids and women program that really help first timers get a true understanding of what Brazilian jiu-jitsu is. Also I like to include that there competition team is growing and learning fast as well, because of professor Jake Mapes and professor Kris Neilsen they explain each move you learn in detail and with timing that can teach a wide spectrum of individuals quickly, not only that, they also have a great gun and knife defense program that which is really needed right now.Im so thankful to have this type of martial art here in Vista California.And Ive been going here for a couple of months and I like to say that every student and the professors welcome everyone with open arms, everyone is considerate, funny, respectful and everyone helps each other out, no one gets left behind. This place will change your life..
