I started training BJJ in 2006 and took some time off. Since 2016 I've spent a good amount of time…read moreat a few different gyms and finally came across Jeff Shields and Superior BJJ in fresno. The gym is clean, brand new, and has a great class structure and atmosphere. All of the coaches are competent and professional and I am very glad I joined Superior BJJ. I'll definitely be training there for a long time!

I have been to a few MMA gyms in my life. I did attend this gym for several years when I attended…read moreundergrad at UC Merced. To any UC kids reading this, COME HERE. This place is legit. First of all, if you're a noob, don't be scared. The people here are the kinds of people that will make you grow smarter and stronger. If you don't get stronger, neither do they. So you WILL be able to learn. BJJ takes time to get good at. I'm just a blue belt, but even THAT took me years to obtain. And I still suck a*s. But if you keep coming here, you will become a better person. Second, Professor Marcos is a very good man. He sticks up for the little guys and will make sure you are ALWAYS safe while rolling. If some bigger person is slamming you to the ground, Marcos will put an end to it. And if not him, then someone else will. Marcos cares about everyone, and it shows. Marcos teaches the most realistic moves for self-defense, and he knows A LOT. Third, the people here are amazing. Amy working the front desk is dope. Dragon is super dope. Everyone here is dope. I'm not sure who still attends this place, but I'm sure the rest of the people there all have a good heart. I never encountered a bully when I attended here. I'm not sure the price nowadays, but it's still dirt cheap for the quality of training you will receive here. I have attended a Ralph Gracie gym, and it was trash. Super expensive, and I encountered bullies there. This place is not only reasonably priced; you also get great friends here. No bullies go here. I miss this place. About once a year you can train with Grandmaster Flavio Behring. If you've never met him, you must. It's an amazing and unforgettable experience that not even the "Gracie's" can brag about. Another perk is that you can attend the other gyms affiliated with this place. Like the Oakdale gym. I hate the Central Valley, so I'll never live here again. But if you're in the area and you're looking for a place to train, this is it ladies and gentlemen. You have the BEST MMA gym in CA right here in the middle of nowhere Merced. Any UC kid reading this should check it out. Your first class is free.

Last Wednesday, Eric taught some great "Butterfly Sweeps." Then, we drilled techniques and sparred. Excellent training! I enjoy the challenge of training in high altitude because it humbles me as I gasp for air. LOL I encourage anyone that's in Mammoth for vacation or otherwise to visit this academy. You won't be disappointed. July 2019- I wish there was a 6 star rating. I had another great training session at Mammoth Lakes BJJ. This time I was blessed to attend a "Take Down" seminar by one of Eric's collegiate wrestlers. The guy was a great instructor! Excellent training!! As always, Eric is the nicest and most welcoming instructors I've ever met in my 2 decades of BJJ training. Thank you Eric.

The instructors show a level of patience, understanding, and genuine care that truly sets this place apart. They've created an environment where my boys are not only learning the art of Jiu Jitsu but also gaining confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of community. It's rare to find a place that supports each child's unique journey so wholeheartedly. I'm incredibly grateful for the positive impact 7th Generation has had on my family.
