You could improve by having your staff obtain child care for their kids while they are working. A female staff member is allowed to have her kid wonder around unsupervised during classes. It's clear he is not getting enough attention from mom because he is always moody and frowning. Whatever that's their business however he is also territorial and mean to other sibling waiting around the gym. Very unprofessional read more

My son loves the nano ninja class. The instructor is stern, but this insures the kids have a safe environment. I appreciate seeing this as a parent. This is our second class, and I have seen milestones in my son's learning. We will definitely be signing up for a membership. read more

My son started going to Anchorage BJJ a couple of years ago at the age of 16. I was skeptical of how long he would last or what the benefits might be, but 2 years later I will say that it has done wonders for every facet of his life. He is more confident, learned to face adversity, and is stronger both physically and mentally than when he began. I cannot overstate the benefits, so if you have a child that has shown any interest in martial arts, sign them up and let them give it a try. It is such an amazing group of people from the trainers to the trainees. read more

Anchorage Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am a Black belt form Easton Training Center in Colorado. A tremendously successful and large Jiu Jitsu school. When I moved to Alaska a year ago, I thought it unlikely I would ever have the abundant, high quality training partners and opportunities that I have taken for granted for the last 12 years. My anxiety over this loss has lifted thanks to ABJJ. When I walked the first day I was greeted enthusiastically. The classes were are well run and follow a curriculum that facilitates mastery of techniques rather than brief exposure before hard rolling whare everyone reverts back to their A game. The purple belts are quite good and bring it hard in randori like they should. The Black Belts are patient and eager to share what they know. The Facility is clean and organized. The atmosphere is friendly and school culture is excellent for learning. If you live in Anchorage you have access to an excellent Jiu jitsu academy that I recommend without hesitation to Black Belts and novices alike. read more

I can't say enough positive things about the staff at this gym. Ryder and his team welcomed my son in after an encounter with a bully at school and have had an enormous impact on his life in the 3 months that he's been coming here. Beyond the 10 pounds of muscle and self-defense skills that he's gained, he also now exudes confidence and pride. It's truly amazing! Thank you all soo much! read more

After moving to Alaska, I was looking for a martial arts school in the area for my kids and found Anchorage BJJ while driving off Northern Lights blvd. I took my kids in for a free class to see if they would like the instructions and format of the class. The children classes were divided into groups based on belt rank and or skills. The instructors are very friendly and the head instructor Ryder is really good with kids. The children class schedule is from Monday to Thurs day 430pm to 530pm. And Saturdays at 1000. My kids have been attending for 2 years and they still enjoy it. The class begins with stretching, sprints, rolls, and more. Then they are split up into groups for instructed BJJ techniques and sparring. The school also participates in the Alaska BJJ tournaments. Great exercise for the kids and they are dead tired at the end of the day. The trial is free and zero pressure so go check it out. read more

Can I give them 10 Stars? Maybe if I do 2 reviews?? This is a great gym that is run by a family who CARES! Covid came along and closed all of the gyms in Anchorage. ABJJ could have just accepted that like most or all of the other gyms. Instead their instructors actually added content by doing multiple zoom meetings a day. Now my son has been exposed to striking drills, Capoiera, kick boxing and strength/conditioning drills. What's more - they invited parents to join which helped the kids train Jiu Jitsu and helped their parents realize they need to step up and start working out! As things come back on line I'm seriously considering dragging my 50 year old self onto the mat and training with my son and the group. It was super fun! Thanks Ryder - and thank you to all of your coaches who have committed to making our community a better place. If you live in or near Anchorage and arelooking for a great gym and want to surround yourself with really friendly and hard working people then this is the place! Come by for a free class. read more
