I've been training at Nine16 for four years, and this school is honestly more than just a gym. We are truly one big family here. The coaches genuinely care about every student. They're supportive, patient, and always pushing you to grow--not just in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but as a person. No matter your experience level, everyone is welcomed and respected. The atmosphere is positive, motivating, and supportive. People look out for each other, help each other improve, and celebrate each other's progress. Training here has helped me build confidence, discipline, and real self-defense skills. If you're looking for a place where you'll feel welcomed, supported, and challenged in the best way possible, Nine16 is the place. I'm proud to call this gym my second home. read more

Dropped to train again with coach Isaac and Keith. I love their warm up drills and instructional. Class is intimate so the coaches can watch and coach you through your drills and rolls.

I was looking for a place to do a drop in and nine16 was the first place to message me back. The gym was clean, technique was very well detailed, and the hospitality top notch. Nothing negative to say about them. read more

Recently, I completed two private sessions of Striking with Joe Lee at Nine16 Ji-jitsu that I appreciated and enjoyed. As a full time college student in the area of Social Work, I appreciate the engagement because these sessions were so fluid and fun for me; the learning of basic fundamental footwork and striking helped improve my mechanics and understanding. Also, the pricing was reasonable and affordable for a private session; and as a private trainer in the dog training community, I understand nothing amounts to the level of constructive critique that comes from a one-on-one session. I appreciate this trainers knowledge and teachings. This place is filled with knowledge and direction and is a definite recommend to anyone looking for skills development and meeting new people. read more

One of the best gyms in Sacramento for all levels. Coach Keith and Coach Pedro are patient and very accessible with all their students. Everything learned is very intentionally, they're not going into a class just winging the curriculum. 10/10 across the board. read more

Been coming here 7 months, the coaches and staff are great and very hands on. Even the students are always helping eachother,. No one is ever left out. I added my son to the promotional bundle they offer and now I have another passion to share with my kid and he loves it. They even incorporate games into the lessons for the kids classes. I is a great environment for everyday people of all walks of life. read more

What can I say? This place has been nothing short of amazing to me. Nine16 helped me find love for a sport like I never knew I could have. The instructors are top notch! Very knowledgeable and understanding towards both new and returning students. You get a lot of one on one training, so improving is easier here than a lot of other places. The atmosphere is great for adults as well as kids. All in all, a great place for a great price. This will always be my home school. read more
