Shark pit is by far the most welcoming place. Everyone who runs this operation is by far the most exceptional group of people.

A great gym with a great group of instructors and people. Everyone is willing to work with you to make you better. There is a wide variety of experience so plenty of partners to roll with and learn from. Wide variety of class times! Both my girls go here as well and the instructors are extremely patient with the kids, while they teach, heck even the head black belt comes and rolls with the kids. They have a free two week trial so there really isn’t any pressure. You won’t be disappointed!

I have been training martial arts for over 15 years and there is not a better place to go. Whether you been training a long time or just starting, this the perfect place. A very friendly atmosphere that is conducive for learning. They have the areas only legitimate black belt instructor. I would give it more stars if it was possible.

Shark Pit has been fantastic. I went in with goals of being more active and losing some weight, and everyone has been super positive and helpful. From coaching in different moves to merely providing a huge amount of support. It feels like a family. You should give it a shot if you’re looking for somewhere to learn a great skill and get more active.

A visit to Shark Pit is like going to a family function and seeing all your favorite cousins. The vibe is always warm and welcoming. Joe is an incredible coach and the rest of the teaching staff is top notch. Their meme game is QUALITY. Easily one of my favorite spots for Murder Yoga.

I have cross trained with members of Shark Pit multiple times whether at my school or theirs. I have also been coached by their head instructor in competition. They are always welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The facility is very clean and as an added bonus they have access to a great changing area/locker room.

I literally picked up doing martial arts again after a 3 year break just to go here. The instructors are amazing. Very laid back and friendly. You wont find anyone yelling in your face or getting mad at you for not learning something quick enough. They focus on you learning not just the technique but the reasoning behind them. If you want to learn this is the place.

Ive been training in BJJ for over 10 years and have trained at several schools. I have been greatly enjoying my time at Shark Pit. Head coach Joe has what Ive found to be a unique way of teaching that is both highly technical and easily understandable.

Shark Pit Jiu Jitsu has a great group of people. The level of grappling is incredible and the instruction is something special. The members like to work hard and have fun. If you were ever interested in BJJ and prefer a lighter environment, where no one takes themself too seriously, but still strives to improve, then come in and fly with the Sharks! And remember if you have children, our Shark Cubs love it here, too!

I can’t begin to say enough good things about this program and these coaches. My daughter has grown so much in just the year of training with them. She’s always been so meek and shy, but jiu jitsu has brought her out of her shell and made her so much more confident, all while teaching her to defend herself. 🥋🦈

I have been training at Shark Pit Jiu Jitsu since the 4th of November and the time I have spent there has been incredibly enjoyable. This is my first experience with a martial art and never once have I thought about visiting another local gym. The instructors and others who train, are eager to share their knowledge and provide a great atmosphere. Shark Pit BJJ offers very generous membership discounts if you are active duty military, a firefighter, paramedic, or a law enforcement officer. Also, as a member of Shark Pit, you will also have access to the gym and amenities offered by Winchester Boxing and Fitness. All in all, I have no complaints or regrets. BJJ at Shark Pit is a great for your body and mind. Whether you are looking for a hobby to keep you active or competition level instruction, the establishment is worth your time.

I can’t say enough good things about SharkPit BJJ. From the moment you step through the door the instructors and classmates are welcoming and try to help you attain your grapplings goals. Daily there is a mat room full of studs that’s only goal is to continue to get better at bjj and to help anyone from an advanced student to the brand new guy/girl get better at Jiu Jitsu. Highly recommend

Hands down the best jujitsu school in Winchester, and Coach Joe is one of the best jujitsu coaches teaching. If you want to learn solid, conceptual jujitsu that will help you get in shape, learn self defense, and compete this is the school for you.

This is the start of something big. Here is where you can train the wonderful life changing sport of Jiu Jitsu as hard or as easy as you want in a friendly environment with some of the best people and coaches you can ever know. I have trained elsewhere with those who are here and can assure you that a great training environment is being formed that will be benficial to both adults and children of any fitness level who choose to participate. Come try a few classes, bring the kids, make some new friends, and you surely will not be dissapointed. Hope to see you there!

This place has such a friendly atmosphere and the coaches are extremely knowledgeable. My children love their classes - they stay active while learning valuable skills and making new friends. My husband and I both do the adult classes and I couldnt imagine ever finding better coaches. They always make me feel comfortable and like a genuine part of their team. Their instruction is easy to follow and they make sure to provide additional help as needed. The support is amazing from both coaches and teammates. Everyone feels like a family, whether youve been training with them for years or whether you just started last week. If youre looking for somewhere to train jiu jitsu for adults or for children, this is the place to go.
