While I was traveling for work I wanted to find a place to train and saw that Impact was close to…read morethe hotel where I was staying. I had reached out to see if I could do a drop-in and was told that I'd be welcome. Impact's motto is 'Good People. Good Jiu-Jitsu,' and after having visited I wholeheartedly think they live up to it. Rob was teaching the class that evening which seemed to be a mix of experienced and some more experienced beginners and some folks who were had started more recently. He broke down the moves and techniques down enough to be well understood by all levels but still let a lot of time to get a lot of reps in. The evening I stopped in was a nogi class, which is a style I generally avoid because it's a lot of wear and tear on the body. I didn't feel as beat up as I thought I would be, not to say that it wasn't the fast paced game that nogi typically is. What's more there was a focus on stand up that most schools usually avoid. I'd definitely go back to ABQ for another drop in and if I ever end up in ABQ on a more permanent basis Impact would be the place to train.

My wife and I were moving from SoCal to ABQ and I needed to find a new place to train. After…read moresearching around the land of Yelp, Impact Jiu Jitsu ABQ was definitely the place I wanted to try out. Benjamin made me feel a sense of welcome before I even started my first day. He called me to answer my questions and make sure I was set up for success from the get-go. Impact Jiu Jitsu ABQ is where I find incredible instruction, a sense of family and community, and incredibly humble people who make training exciting and fun. Amazing coaches, clean facilities, incredible training partners, great curriculum. If you are interested in getting into BJJ (or already are training), come check out Impact Jiu Jitsu!

Professor Jesse Jacques greeted me me at the door, and was extremely welcoming! He has a nice little school. The lessons were catered to the level of the students in attendance, and he keeps an eye on everyone during warm ups, drills and rolls, engaging with his students by constructively critiquing all students (even the visitor!). I thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed the drills and class structure, and what all students brought to the rolls. Fundamentals are ingrained at JJBJJ, and it was a great experience! If you're in Santa Fe, give JJBJJ a call! They've got a great independent school atmosphere, and Professor, Teacher, and students all are welcoming.

The environment Professor Gustavo has built here is one with no ego and complete humility. Highly technical instruction combined with physical fitness and grit. My son has also started training here and after only a few months we have already seen an improvement in his grades, behavior, and most importantly his self confidence. Professor Gus combines discipline with games to make the learning and physical fitness fun for the kids and they don't even realize they are working out. This is my 5th BJJ school and by far one of the best I've ever been a part of. They truly are not all the same.

Coach Rick and Edgar are very knowledgeable and technical and you are welcomed into a ego free environment as soon as you step through the door. Everyone who I have come in contact with has been kind, friendly and willing to learn and share knowledge, rather it be jiu-jitsu practitioners or veterans of stand up, all are phenomenal people.

These guys have been…read moreincredibly hospitable and have done a tremendous job creating an atmosphere/culture that anyone would want to be a part of. Equally important: the training and instruction are excellent. I spent a week in town for work and reached out to them before I came down. They welcomed me into the academy and insisted on no drop-in fees for me because I was a visitor. ZERO. No one treated me any differently than regular members despite being a visitor. The instructors took time to answer my questions and even helped me catch up on the things I wasn't around for the week prior. Everyone in the gym was approachable, regardless of belt-color, achievements, etc. Rick, presumably one of the owners, even invited another visitor and I out for the gym's regular weekly social hour after training one evening. The instruction and class structure are great. They say drillers make killers. We had plenty of time to drill the techniques we worked on during class. The professor was present and available for questions/clarification. I especially appreciated the common thread that ran through the training each night of the week. There is clearly some sort of common curriculum. This is different from some gyms I've trained at where classes may be put together haphazardly without rhyme or reason. Everything I had the opportunity to train on at Invictus was complimentary. There was plenty of time to free roll after drilling as well. This is a great place for all levels, including new white belts like me.

Since the Copper Trailhead doesn't have its own entry, this is a combo review. Copper is considered…read morerelatively easy. The caveat is that the final approach to the U-Mound gets more complex and I gave up. But there's a consolation prize: the term "U-Mound" is apparently also used to refer to the general rocks in the vicinity, which are approachable via the easy trails. Given the incomplete maps online and reviews of the difficult trails around Embudo, the TL;DR take is that you should look for the 401 trail if you're into scenery but not trying to re-enact some grim 2012-era Sundance movie. There are many elevation options. While I didn't see wildflowers in April, there was a great cacti assortment. Geography note: there are buses relatively close to Copper Trailhead but the ABQ Ride schedule is not generous. As of press time there were no post-sunset buses so I took Lyft.

This area is family, friendly with a ride of different trails and pet friendly as well. Like other areas in the foothills do you have to watch out for cacti and other hazards. Still enjoying the views is worth getting out here. There's a good amount of parking and additional parking further out.
