I should of posted this years ago, but better late than never! My jiu jitsu journey started 25…read moreyears ago with Professor Roy Harris, Progressive Fighting Systems and then later following his student, Professor Mike Cusi, at the original Stronghold in Point Loma. Being in Law Enforcement has always been tough for training because of shift work and/or injuries. Because of work and re-locating around the County, I trained at five other jiu jitsu schools. The one main thing that brought me back to the Stronghold was the feeling of family. The vibe all the way around here is awesome. It's definitely a great place to train if you're law enforcement. Professor Vince Colcol is very knowledgeable of the craft and has a vested interest in all his students. He and his wife, Professor Hana Colcol also run a great program for kids. On the plus side, Professors Roy Harris, Mike Cusi, and Johnny Tama also make appearances on the mat....OSS!

I was excited to do classes here and the owner seemed really nice and caring. Health issues came up…read morefor me not even a week after I signed up and I informed them that I couldn't continue. I never even got to use my equipment or do a class. They proceeded to take more money from me and are refusing to answer my calls or emails. I had an uneasy feeling about this place but now its confirmed. Completely unprofessional and manipulative. Unfortunately for them I'm not someone who just takes things. Legal action will be taken against them. I just don't want anyone else to trust such a business that preys on someone. There's so many of these gyms around san diego and a reason they only have 7 reviews. AVOID THIS PLACE.

People throw their gym bags on the benches and hog the space and there ends up being nowhere left to sit. It would help if there was a designated spot for bags or a gentle reminder for people to keep the benches clear for sitting. It seems more like a hangout place as it is.

This is a 2 part review for myself and my 6 year old daughter. Joe has been our coach for about 3…read moremonths now. As a person Joe is friendly, present to everyone in his gym, and most importantly he's genuine. As a coach you can see his decades of experience in BJJ in action on the mat. He is extremely detailed in technique, sees all the counters, and treats it like a chess game. Joe's classes are well thought out as the drillng are connected through multiple days. If you're a newbie, looking to move gyms (like I did), or seasoned in search for upper belts to spar with - choose Kainga. For my daughter it was rough leaving her first coach and all the little friends. She gets challenged with Joe though in fitness, discipline, and accountability that I want her to get out of a self defense class. Joe has displayed patience in her original push back to participate. He listened to my input to help her feel comfortable which I appreciate as a parent. Adult members regularly assist on the mat to provide extra support in lessons and assure the kids train safely. She now looks forward to going to class, has fun, and learns the applicable basics she can apply if she's ever bullied at school. The gym and its members provide a great environment. Competitive rolls or you can communicate to take it easy. Egos are left at the door and all upper belts enjoy offering tips. Regularly members hang out after class is done, strenghtening the gym comradery. Mats are cleaned throughout the day. For your budget - monthly fees are fair, no registration fee/ in house gi requirement, and the quality/ amount of classes available make it worth what you pay. This gym is definitely NOT A MONEY GRAB and all about learning, competition, and a safe environment.

This review is for my experience with this business back in 2023. Gym was overcrowded with too many…read morekids and the staff only cared about the "best performing" kids. My kiddo could easily tell. It is not rocket science. Staff was rude when my card payment didn't go through due to it being reported lost and me not recalling it was specifically this card that was on file with Kainga Jiu Jitsu. This was after paying on time for several months, so there was no need for the nasty and aggressive attitudes. They claim to be about family, but what they really mean is money and those they perceive as valuable to their gym. Lame experience, lame attitudes, and lame business structure. I do not recommend this place at all. There are plenty of other jiu jitsu places in and around Chula Vista and San Diego that offer a better service at a lower cost without the supposed "family" model.
