Extremely Disappointed - Felt Neglected and Discriminated I don't usually leave reviews for a Jiu Jitsu establishment, but I feel compelled to share our experience with Infinity Jiu Jitsu. My son, who has been diagnosed with ASD, was scheduled for his second trial class. We showed up early and waited patiently--for over 35 minutes past our appt time. There was no front desk staff to check him in, and the coach told us to wait for the check in person and proceed to completely ignored us. He clearly started the 4 PM class we were scheduled the trial for. Shouldn't there be a list of students prior to starting the class for the coach to see? It felt like we were invisible just because we weren't paying members yet. This was supposed to be a welcoming environment, but instead, we were left feeling neglected, disappointed, and discriminated against. On top of that, the facility itself was cramped and located next to a foul-smelling dumpster--not the kind of place I'd want my child to spend time in. I don't know how this place had operated before with all previous year 5 star reviews, but as of today, they have clearly lost their touch and a potential enrollment. I'm so glad we didn't sign up. No child--especially one with special needs--should be made to feel this unseen. If you're looking for a place that respects and supports every student, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. read more

Great place for your kids to learn BJJ! My daughter loves it! She's 11. There is a wide range of kids that go here from 5-16 or so. They also offer adult classes here. The prices are very reasonable and if you pay for the whole year at once it's actually very cheap per class. Other places are more expensive. The coaches here make BJJ fun for the kids by playing fun games after the practices. I wish I could take the kids classes! read more

Been coming here for a little over a month now, and it's better than I expected. I was unsure how welcoming they would be to a newcomer with very little experience in mixed martial arts and one who was extremely out of shape. (Pushing 300 lbs) in the past month I dropped 19 lbs and am now able to chase my toddler around without getting so winded. Dylan, the owner, truly runs a great program and the entire staff as well as the patrons are patient, understanding, and welcoming of new people. I recently upped going from 2 times a week, to 3-4 times a week and am in love with it. If you're looking for a great gym stop in. read more

Can't say enough good things about this gym. The coaches are extremely professional and knowledgeable. Clean facility, warm welcoming atmosphere. 10 out of 10 wood recommend read more

Infinity Brazilian Jui Jitsu is a great place to bring your kids to learn the great skills of self defense. Coach Dylan is a Black Belt and not only teaches the kids about martial arts but he also teaches the kids respect, responsibility and some good life skills. This is a great place for positivity in all areas. I have had my daughter in the Jui Jitsu classes and will be bringing my boys real soon I highly recommend Infinity BJJ read more

Very friendly and when we came in to sign up and made us feel welcome and explained everything.

I have been in this academy for about a year, and everytime I walk in I see smiles. I started coming, not knowing what to expect and they made me feel welcome. I made so many friends on the first day. You also should try the kick boxing. The coach is so encouraging, and the same for the Bjj coach. read more

Infinity Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Boot Camps Near Me - Santee, California

I am 42years old, fluffy, dad body, out of shape, desk job. Really in horrible shape. It started with me just watching my daughter train for a month. I watched the way the coaches conducted themselves, the way they taught the classes. From day one I was completely impressed by their patience and skill at managing young students. I watched the diversity in age and discipline of the students taking classes at this gym. Incredible. BJJ was something I had wanted to start "someday". This gym with its incredible coaches made me feel zero hesitation when asked if I wanted to try it out. I jumped in. My body was beat up daily. Ok, back with an update. So, I was going 4-5 days a week for approx 6 weeks but my body was trashed, in pain always. I wimped out. BJJ has my utmost respect. I didn't want to quit I just want to give my body a chance to get in better shape at a slightly slower pace. I reduced BJJ to one day a week and started Muay Thai at two or three days a week. I am getting in shape and getting better at both disciplines. I am very close to adding another day of BJJ per week! 6 months in, I still am able to boast about this gym! They are all incredible. The coaches, the professor, the whole crew are amazing! Come join the fun! See you on the mat. 8 months in: added another BJJ day, Jiu Jitsu is getting exciting and fun. The best thing I have ever done for my families health and happiness! Thank You professor Dylan and the entire Infinity BJJ team! Making the journey a great one. read more

Coach Dylan and his team are great! My kids enjoyed learning jiu-jitsu with them. They are patient, friendly and really emphasize team work.

Ok So I have not practiced here, but have met with the owner. I want to be the first on the board. Owner Dylan is a really positive guy, can't be a bad situation to get into a "family" that is solid like that...... The spot is a great location, clean and well lit (as in sunlight, being a corner location), easy to get to as it's right behind the 7-11 off Carlton Hills.... Check it......I'm going to get some "class" on..... read more

This is by far the best school in East County, I did my shopping around, and Dylan (the owner) exceeds expectations. First, it is experienced Black Belt instruction, they have showers and changing rooms, the academy is always clean and professional, and super welcoming. Secondly, I felt at home from the moment I walked in and now having trained here for some time, I can say I feel just as much a part of the family as I did on day one.. There are no scams, no tricks - just good training and instruction. I also enrolled my daughter, and I can't say enough about the way the kids classes are taught. Dylan is exquisite with the kids and you can see how much he cares about each one of them and their jiu jitsu journey! read more

This is my second home!! Dylan is a great instructor and the kickboxing class is great as well. I'm here 6 days a week! read more

Infinity Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Boot Camps Near Me - Santee, California

Let me start by saying that I shopped around before deciding to go with Dylan's school. The atmosphere is laid back, there are no high pressure sales, you can just go to train and learn - which is what we are all looking for in our BJJ studies anyways. I felt welcomed from day one. I enrolled myself and m 4 year old daughter. If you're looking to sign your kid(s) up - do it - he's amazing with the youth and has a way of connecting to them and transmitting the information - it is a true gift. The place is clean, family oriented, and a pleasure to train at. He has a changing room and showers on campus so you can clean up after class, which is a nice touch. Dylan also is a Black Belt - what does this mean? Well many schools I have seen have a purple belt or brown belt running the show. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but having black belt instruction is something all together different as the level of understanding is much higher. read more

Been training here for almost 6 months now and having a blast! Top quality instruction in many different disciplines and the people here are an absolute pleasure to train with! People of all shapes, sizes, and ages here. :) Infinity offers (1) Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in addition to: (2) Escrima / Kali (Filipino stick & knife fighting for those who don't know) (3) Kid's Muay Thai Kickboxing (4) Adult Jeet Kune Do (JKD) Kickboxing (5) Judo (6) Submission Wrestling The Escrima is taught by the Doce Pares of San Diego crew and I just found out the Adult JKD kickboxing instructor, Eddie, is a Dan Inosanto guy so he knows Escrima as well as a ton of other styles! Judo is taught by the Tsukuba Dojo of San Diego and in my opinion, there is no other school that offers so much to their students at pretty much the same rate as the other schools in the area that offer ONLY Jiu Jitsu. The owner, Dylan is a super nice guy, a black belt under the Carlson Gracie lineage thru Rodrigo Medeiros. The facility is one of the nicest I've seen with big windows with lots of natural sunlight and the best part is--it does NOT smell like a stinky gym! Excellent school with excellent instruction! read more

See all

My ten-year-old wanted to broaden his sports horizons, and I wanted to get him active and out of the house. Infinity BJJ has been AWESOME. Dylan is a great guy who genuinely cares about his students and has a great teaching method. He is firm but with VERY realistic expectations, and the kids are all very engaged and happy to be there. The dojo has a great atmosphere, a nice family environment and is very open and welcoming. Great location in a quiet but not out-of-the-way part of town and a very clean and friendly looking dojo. My little guy is quiet and sensitive, and Dylan and his team are doing a great job at bringing him out of his shell and making him part of the Infinity family. Can't say enough good things! read more

Great atmosphere for learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The people who train here are supportive, helpful, kind, friendly, and respectful. My whole family trains here-me, my wife, daughter, and son. We are having a very positive experience and everyone else who trains here appears to also. Highlights: So far, I've trained with a world no-gi champion who is cool as anything. No attitude-just encouragement. Same goes for everyone here. Plenty of very skilled people who could mess up a guy like me--but they don't. That says a lot about their character. My wife feels that she is getting great training in a safe, supportive environment and would encourage other women to train here too. Dylan sits the kids down and they discuss the "word of the week" (ex. respect) after training which ties jiu jitsu in with other things in life. We've left the kids overnight at the school with 20+ other kids for Movie Night/Slumber Party. Very safe, well managed, lots of fun for the kids. My children are gaining confidence and making new friends. Jiu Jitsu is challenging physically and mentally--the kids are learning about themselves and others in a very unique way. Plus, they are having a fun time. I've improved my health tremendously. My core strength gets better every day. My back used to hurt all the time, now at almost 50 years old, I am more flexible than when I was in my 20's, and the back pain is gone. I've got abs again and have lost over 20 lbs. Getting better at jiu jitsu is an incentive to eat better, to workout, and it is a set time that our family can be together and be active. Dylan and his students are an important part of our family's life and we are very grateful and appreciative of their support. read more

It was a year ago yesterday that I first stepped on the mat. What a difference in my life Infiniti BJJ has made. The friends, the good times but most important is how it has changed me personally . It is not something I can express, but what I can express is gratitude. Gratitude for everyone who has helped me improve, who has encouraged me and... taken the time to make me the better. It has brought me closer to my brother and my 2 boys who now train with us, it has made me a better person and I have all of you to thank. Thank you to the Gracie family, Rodrigo Medeirios and Team BJJ Revolution. Most importantly though I want to thank Dylan Dearborn and Infiniti . I owe so much to Dylan for being an incredible instructor and teacher and most important a friend. Infiniti Bjj is my family. read more

If you are looking for a place to bring your kids, look no further. Dylan, Mike, and the rest are great with the kids. They don't talk down or belittle them. They teach by building self esteem. All around great group of coaches. read more

After checking out some other BJJ places, and looking at reviews, I brought me son into Infinity BJJ. I met coach D and he set up an appointment to try my son out to see if this was something he would like. The following week, Coach D, met with my boy for about 20 minutes for his first time rolling. Seeing Coach D, with my son, he immediately built my son's comfort. He showed his commitment to TEACH, rather then just sell me on being a member to increase his numbers and help his bottom line. My son has been a member for over the last three weeks and my son can't wait for each class. I would highly recommend him / Infinity BBJ without any question! Hands down, the best!! read more

when i began studying various martial arts years ago, my biggest problem was merely walking into a place as a beginner. too many fight/ martial arts gyms have a bunch of meat-bag asshole trainers/ fighters starring you down trying to intimidate you with that "what the fuck do you know about this?!" attitude. Infinity Jiu Jitsu is completely opposite. never in my life have i ever witnessed such a welcoming vibe toward all levels (from 1st timers- experienced rollers) as infinity. Dylan is the BEST and holds his belt from one of the best in the continental united states. if you ever thought about persuing martial arts but were too intimidated to get your foot in the door, begin with infinity. read more

What a great school. Dillion is the man and one of the nicest guys you can meet. What you won't get here is a mcdojo type school. This school is a smaller one is terms of numbers and that has many benefits. You will get personal attention from an instructor that's very well qualified and is under the notorious Rodirgo Medieros who's produced many many champions of jiu jitsu. The whole vibe of this place is solid, as there is no shortage of camaraderie and smiles on peoples faces. Dillion's ability to teach children is second to none...I guess that comes with having kids of your own. It's a no brainer that if you are looking for a place to train in Santee you have found it here. It's also well worth a drive passing up other schools along the way. True Story read more

Infinity BJJ is a place that you want to be and a place that you want to train. I train there and both of my young daughters train there. Let me tell you that the Owner Dylan Dearborn is a man of the absolute highest caliber. A wonderful family man and a truly dedicated teacher of one of the greatest martial arts in the world, Dylan holds his belt from one of the best in the world Rodrigo Medieros. Rod has been out to teach at the academy and some of the other Team Revolution instructors will be out soon. Get in here and train. Reasonable prices, awesome mats, and check out the Yoga and Kickboxing as well. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is here to stay in the East County get in here and get a piece of it! ! read more

My family has been training here for almost 2 years now. Professor Dylan is professional, kind, wise, and an awesome instructor. He instills good disciplinary behavior and respect. He does not mess around! We will always be apart of the Infinity Family. Thank you Professor Dylan, Coach Mark, Coach Aaron and Coach Chris. read more

This place is my home away from home. Dylan is one of the best coaches you are going to get. I lost 15 pounds in 7 months! You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not have Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in your life. Especially Ladies, self defense is essential to your life. read more

Great school, outstanding instructor. No ego's, just a solid place to train with nice people. I know the Black Belt instructor and his crew. Try it out.... there is always something to learn. read more

This place is awesome! My children have been coming here for awhile now, the coaches do all they can to help them. Allow plenty of mat time to learn. The times on the classes are pretty convenient for us. It has been a great way to show and instills patience and discipline on my girls. Always leading with dignity and self respect, teaching the kids to be leaders, help where & when it is needed. I love this place! read more

My son used to train with 5 star. Looked into the other mma places in Santee & Lakeside. Unlike the other ones, Infinity BJJ offers a variety of classes for one price. My 13 year old son loves the variety-muay thai, bjj with gi, bjj with no gi. We did the 6 week trial for $100. That INCLUDES the gi (to keep). As a high school teacher, I pay attention to the instructors/teachers. They are fantastic!!! His "trial" time was during the preschool class and kudos to the instructors. They work fantastically with that age group. I was amazed at how they kept the class going, moving it along just fast enough to keep their attention while maintaining discipline and order. For my son's classes, they absolutely pay attention to details and help all kids. All of the students my son has encountered have also been very disciplined and helpful. They are all here to learn...and have fun. As of now, my son has no interest in competing and they are ok with that. Place is kept clean. There is a dressing room and a shower. Professional, yet friendly staff. Highly recommend this place for those of ALL ages. read more

I went to a couple of yoga classes - and fell in love --I love this place. The studio is open and airy surrounded by large trees, and there is plenty of parking. The candlelight Sunday class with restorative poses is the BEST! Great feeling, aroma therapy, and spot on adjustments by the teacher. Her cues are specific so it is easy to forget your cares and move through the flow. I also took the Friday morning class, and felt like my back was restored because the teacher asked about any issues we all had, then she offered poses to help alleviate my pain. I highly recommend this studio for yoga! The first class is free, and the owner doesn't pressure you to sign up- but you will probably want to. They have a good package deal! read more

Coach D is awesome! He takes the time to help you understand why he's teaching what he teaches. He has a great rapport with the kids. He gets down on their level to make sure they understand! He's great! read more

I love the kick boxing classes here! Such a great workout, nice people and a great teacher! You will most definitely get a great workout and get individualized attention and tips! You'll be encouraged by your progress in a short amount of time if you stick with it and show up to class! I have definitely toned up and and become slightly dangerous with the varied amount of moves and techniques I have learned with the patient and challenging coach! My daughter loves the wrestling classes here and my husband gets worked doing jiu jitsu here! read more

When my brother started randomly tackling me in the hallway to show me the new jiu jitsu moves he had learned on YouTube, I liked it. I've never really been much of a girly girl. But when he suggested we actually start taking classes, I was a little skeptical. I knew that inevitably the class would end up being a bunch of bigger and stronger men...and me. And I don't like to be yelled at. But it sounded like fun and I had been meaning to learn some self defense moves and jiu jitsu is suppose to be one of the most effective martial arts. So, I got on the internet and did some research. I had three criteria for picking a jiu jitsu school: it had to be close to my house, offer classes basically every night since my work schedule is so weird, and not be afraid of a girl. After speaking to several instructors the only one I was impressed by was Dylan at Infinity Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And much to my amazement, after my phone call with Dylan I was actually excited to start jiu jitsu! And to make it even better, he agreed to let me come in and see a class before I committed just to make sure. On the phone Dylan had assured me that one of his top priorities was to keep egos out of his school and he has. I still cannot believe how welcome I have felt at Infinity Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and how much I look forward to going to each class. I love the atmosphere at Infinity because it is not about showing off. Each class rather feels like a group of friends getting together to teach each other, learn, and improve one another's lives. I would recommend Infinity Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to anyone of any age, gender, or level as long as fun and learning are what you are after. I love the feeling I get after I successfully learn a new move and I love it even more when I surprise my brother and successfully use it on him (the few, few times that has actually happened)! If you are looking into jiu jitsu schools, or even if you are just thinking about it, come and try Infinity. The level of instruction and the people are all top notch and it will be well worth your time and money! read more

Dylan is very nice guy, and a great teacher, he trained me for two months so far, and i have enjoyed every minute of it. Every day you learn something new, and get a great workout :-) read more

I can't give enough praise to this place. Dylan and his staff are amazing coaches. My sons confidence has risen and he's really starting to develope some fortitude in what he does. I can't recommend this place enough. My son is 12 and there's plenty of kids around his age to attend classes with as well. read more

we just finished our 6wk trial special with my 5yr old and almost 4yr old. they love it, we've seen huge improvements in both children. my son has autism and all of his therapists have noticed a huge difference after just 2 weeks.

This place is awesome...the rates are very reasonable, the instructor is extremely knowledgeable and the students are lots of fun. Dylan is always extremely positive and encouraging to his students. read more
