I can't say enough good things about Five Peaks! My family and I have been going here for a little over a year now and I think it's time that I write this longterm review. We've had such an awesome experience. Professor Carlos, Mark, and Matteo are super passionate about BJJ and are always so patient and helpful. They break things down in a way that makes it easy to learn, no matter your experience level. What I really love about Five Peaks is how welcoming and supportive everyone is. I was a complete beginner when I started, along with my youngest daughter, while my two older daughters had some experience. No matter where you are on your journey, you feel right at home here. The classes are a great balance of challenging and fun, and you really get a good workout while learning solid BJJ skills. The family vibe is also what makes this place special. My two youngest kids absolutely love the kids' classes, and it's been amazing to watch them build confidence and discipline. The professors do a great job keeping things fun while making sure each kid gets the attention they need. Five Peaks has definitely become like a second home for us. If you're looking for a place with top-notch training and a great family atmosphere, this is it! read more

Five Peaks Jiu Jitsu- Tierrasanta Jiu Jitsu Academy - Thank you to the amazing coaching at Five Peaks for tapping into my daughter's potential! I can't wait to see how far she can go! - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Near Me - San Diego, California

I brought my 4.5 year old to try their free week trial, having never done jiu jitsu, and he was hooked. We went 5 times in that trial period and are now signing to come regularly. The staff are incredible and I know that's why my son fell in love. They are hands-on, patient, kind and best of all have fun with them. They run drills, introduce new skills weekly, and the continue to develop those skills. I am so excited to have found this spot and look forward to watch my son grow in confidence and in this sport read more

My son has been going to 5 Peaks for over 6 months (and also a few months before COVID) and he loves it there. Mark and Carlos have been fantastic instructors. My son really looks up to them and has been gaining confidence as well as an outlet for physicality which is no longer allowed in schools. 5 Peaks is teaching real skills and techniques that I know will be valuable to my son as he grows up. Aside from the physically demanding exercise, he is also learning how to deal with unwelcome interactions non-physically, by using words and the support of adults at school. Although my son hasn't had any issues with being bullied, I get the sense that he will know how to handle it if he ever is. If you have a child that you think may benefit from more physical activity and greater confidence, I highly recommend visiting 5 Peaks in Tierrasanta and watching a class, or getting enrolled for a month to try it out. read more

I've been training here for about 2 years now and I must say that the environment here is top notch. This academy has great coaching/staff and it's a great place to learn high quality jiu jitsu. read more

Absolutely love the kids program here. The coaches are so good with the kids. The instruction is solid and teaches so many life skills. My son has absolutely loved training here. He's grown so much in just the few months we have been attending. read more

I enrolled my son at 5 Peaks back in April 2022 because he was dealing with some bullying issues at school. I originally had him going to 5 Peaks once a week to ease him in, and then slowly worked him up to 3 days a week because he enjoyed it so much. The instructors are amazing - knowledgeable, skilled, and patient with the children. Since practicing jiu jitsu, my very shy son has been more confident in himself and his abilities. He opened up more quickly to his peers, and more likely to participates in group activities. His teachers have also mentioned that he speaks up for himself and friends when he sees mistreatment, and coincidently, he received a "Good Citizens" award at school. Besides his growing confidence, my husband and I have also noticed other little developments in him - his focus and athleticism improved. He now sets goals for himself such as trying to perfect a BJJ maneuver, and having his eyes on another belt stripe or move up in belt color. It's very exciting to see that he has purpose in what he's doing when going to 5 Peaks. read more

Five peaks jiujitsu has been absolutely amazing. They are family, my son has been going for a little longer than a year. He was bullied and had low confidence. He has done a complete change. He has not been bullied. He has joined multiple clubs and activities. He has way more confidence in himself. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is a great academy with 3 amazing professors (Carlos, Mark, and Jeff). They do a phenomenal job of breaking down instruction of moves and techniques into components and steps for easier uptake. As someone who is new to this it has been very helpful to have this style of teaching. As someone who is getting into this at an older age (55) I was a bit concerned about the potential for injuries as I have some back issues. What sets them apart from other places is their attention to detail. Each week we build on a move or concept. It gets introduced on Monday and built on each following day. Because of this my retention of stuff is much better in following weeks after we have moved onto something new. They also take the time to do student pairings when it comes time to roll. In my case they take into consideration that my body is still adapting to this and make sure the people that I roll with are not going to crush me. Another thing that sets them apart is their backgrounds. Two of them were/arm in law enforcement. It was this fact that I was most interested in. I wanted this primarily to learn self defense. Because of their backgrounds they incorporate the self defense aspect into their teachings. You get the best of both worlds here. If you want the sport element they train that. If you want the self defense element they also incorporate that. Its a win win!!!! As someone that is passed their prime I can say it is never to late to jump into BJJ. If you are looking for an academy I highly suggest stopping into 5 Peaks for their free week of training. Young/Old, Novice/Advance they have it all covered. You won't regret it!!! read more

Great gym for my 8 year old grandson. He's been at it a few months now and loves it! This team is great!. Thank you 5 peaks for the great work! read more

I have been attending class regularly for the past 2 weeks. Professors Mark and Carlos are extremely knowledgeable and teach from a very practical point of view with extremely humble and professional demeanor. Excellent location, extremely clean environment, and digestible lessons for all ages, abilities, and body types! Coming from a traditional martial arts background, I can tell you that this is NOT a "McDojo" or a "Black Belt Factory!" LEO, military, and family friendly with competitive pricing and exceptional value. read more

We are so happy that this jiu jitsu class is being offered in Tierrasanta - it is such a great experience for our daughter, who is learning so much and becoming more confident! The instructors are amazing and make it a fun experience that she always looks forward to. We hope to continue her classes at this location for many years to come! read more

I trained under Professor Mark before he opened Five Peaks and you could not ask for a better professor! Especially if you are just starting to train in Jiu-Jitsu! Mark is a very knowledgeable black belt, who has the patience and commitment to introduce anyone to this sport. He does a great job of breaking down the details, and he makes sure everyone in the class understands! I just checked out the new gym today and was super impressed. Mark and Carlos put a ton of effort into building their new spot and it really shows. This is a great spot for anyone who wants to try out Jiu-Jitsu for the first time! read more

My son joined five peaks jui jitsu in the summer 2020. I was first impressed with their covid safety procedures and held practice outside in a nearby park.

He has advanced in his belt, his confidence has grown. read more

I wish I could give more stars! Three of my four kiddos train at Five Peaks and they love absolutely love it. We have been searching for something to get the kids involved in but hated paying for a sport just for the kids to sit on the sidelines or lose interest in playing. At Five peaks, there are enough professors/coaches to give the kids individualized attention, there are classes for each age group, and a sense of community. Each of our kids has gained more self esteem, more confidence in their abilities and have built a solid foundation for athleticism. If you're looking for a sign to sign your kiddos up, this is it! read more

His critical thinking improved, and his work ethic is excellent now, which helps him do better at his classes at school. Five peaks makes you feel like family and truly cares about the kids.
