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 thought this place was suppose to help build a child's confidence and not crush it and their…read morefeelings. This place is disrespectful and absolutely disgusting. Uneducated and uninformed lead instructors singled out a child publicly for a little red spot on kiddo and send them home. I'd like to point out that the instructor isn't a medical professional/practitioner nor are they medically qualified to diagnose a child and worse suggest medication to resolve something that hasn't been medically diagnosed. Overstepping boundaries with children are a no-no in my book. If this business has to address medical concerns. Have medical staff. That way HIPAA is not violated. Which is where I will also be reporting this incident. Lastly this didn't happen to my child but the child it did happen to was extremely embarrassed and discouraged from returning. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else's child so I'm speaking up. GET MEDICAL STAFF IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MEDICAL DEMANDS!!

This gym is absolutely amazing! It has everything you need multiple showers, spacious and clean…read morebathrooms, a water fountain, and plenty of mat space to accommodate even the busiest classes. It's also in a prime spot in Chula Vista, surrounded by great options for food and drinks, making it the perfect place to unwind after an evening of hard training. What truly sets this gym apart, though, is the sense of community. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted with open arms, like you've been training here for years. The world-class coaches are phenomenal, bringing expert knowledge and a passion for teaching that's second to none. But beyond that, it's the people who train here that make this gym feel special. Regardless of your skill level whether you're a seasoned athlete or stepping onto the mat for the first time everyone is eager to help, support, and push each other to get better. There's a genuine camaraderie here that's hard to find anywhere else. If you're looking for a gym that combines elite coaching, excellent facilities, and an amazing community, this is the place to be. Training here isn't just about improving your skills it's about becoming part of a family that pushes each on and off the mat to excel.

Our boy's attended GSB for about a year and towards the end of our stay in San Diego our daughter…read morewho was 6yo also attended a few classes, but unfortunately we had to move due to military orders. I would absolutely recommend GSB for future kids/teens especially for beginners. Our boy's were definitely hesitant at first but in time they boosted their confidence on the mat. At GSB they were taught MORE discipline, respect, good sportsmanship, being somewhat independent and of course proper jiu-jitsu training. One of the things we loved about GSB is that, it's a family friendly, caring and kind environment. My husband and I truly felt that our kids were getting the attention they needed as individuals when it came down to training and sometimes getting hurt on the mat and as a parent that is one of the most important things, is to see that your child is well taken care of with trusting coaches/professor. We hope to come back to SD and have our kids retrained by the best! Thank you Professor Leticia and all the coach at GSB!

As the name implies, strong base has a solid foundation of technique and family…read more I am a brown belt and moved to the chula vista area and have tried many other academies, but had a difficult time settling in somewhere. Strong base had all the qualities that I was looking for, clean enviornment, solid students to challenge your game, and great instruction. The instructor David is very friendly and generous. He has a solid game and is open to exploring new ideas and technique. This is not a big warehouse academy, and in my experience I have always been able to sharpen and improve my game more at a place where I could get more attention and have a consistent set of training partners. The academy mats are white and very sanitary. The academy has a pristine white and wood aesthetic look. The academy does not have morning classes, so if you're a 9 to 5 guy this will probably suit your schedule best. Also if you're a Spanish speaker, David is able to give great instruction in both languages. I'm very grateful that this just up the street for me. Thanks guys! Please drop in and visit, support your local martial arts.
