The staff is accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. This is a wonderful place to learn Jiu Jitsu!

I had the pleasure of training some BJJ with West Coast MMA earlier this year and this review is way past due. I can't gush enough about the entire experience. I dropped in with some friends for a Sunday gi class with Coach Jose Ramirez who taught some awesome spider guard details. The curriculum and teaching approach was fantastic. All the students and teachers there were so welcoming and accommodating and helpful. The facilities are top notch. The mats are super clean. They have showers, and I think even a sauna. Culture is often the most important part of any combat sport academy and West Coast MMA has it in spades. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would 100% recommend this academy to anyone, whether they are experienced competitors, brand new to Jiu Jitsu or combat training, or anything in between. Thanks Coach Jose, Matt, Froggy and the entire crew for the hospitality, the sweat and the technique! read more

West Coast Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts Near Me - Oxnard, California

I've been coming to West Coast for over 10 years now, and consider it a second home. I tried every local BJJ gym before coming here, and instantly felt at home here. No cliques, no egos. Just solid training and good vibes. Professor Brian has always been open, and stays current to any new styles, games or trends.From heavy top pressure , to butterfly, x-guard, to leg locks. You will get solid rolls here. If you're in the area drop in, if you're looking for a new gym stop by and check it out! read more

I've filled out their online forum over the weekend, called several times, no one ever answers; even left a voicemail over the last few days and I have not received a call back. Voicemail is automated, doesn't even have the name of the facility - hoping it's the right ph# to call since I literally got it off of their website. I was really looking forward to signing up too. Not sure how else to get a hold of anyone w/o having to physically walk in to speak with a person. read more

FYI: I'm an amateur cage fighter, I've spent the past 3 years travelling across North America (Canada & U.S.), & I grew up around fighters / boxers. I've checked out alot of schools & gyms, This is my favorite (If not the best) one in California, and they are both an MMA school & fitness gym. Their personal trainer is simply amazing. If your looking for a gym, don't call: Stop by any weekday around 10am or 6pm. The moment you walk in the door you'll feel at home & realize their the real deal [cosigned]. Then come back and leave a review on yelp! lol. It's rare to find a gym that actually supports & nourishes fighters, supports the local community, is great with & for kids, and offers both general and fighter level training to the public. Training here just briefly helped me unlock so much of my potential: my ground game has improved greatly, my Boxing is faster(I have heavy hands), my Muay Thai has evolved, and most importantly I feel like I have a better understanding of myself as a fighter. Train here, and you'll never look back. Sid read more

I have been a member of this gym since last November, and I must say...they kick ass. My trainer Matt is fantastic, he never lets me slack, and I look great in my jeans. They have classes, but I like their personal training better. If you want to get in shape, or if you're training to be a cage fighter definitely come here. read more

You've heard of UFC? The Ultimate Fighting Championship This place is expanding. Already sporting a ring, bags, mats, free weights and machines easily the best workout offered in the area. Just recently added- an octagon. Alex (office manager), Brian (black belt jiu jitsu instructor), and Sensei Ken (muay thai instructor) are very personable and humble experts in their field. Great in building children's confidence and friendly competition, children classes are fun. My boy goes there and instantly made good friends with the other good kids there. He has also fought one fight in the ring and I feel good that when it comes down to it, I know he can defend himself. Besides Children's Classes, they offer Jiu Jitsu (beginners and advanced), Muay Thai, Women's Self Defense and Classes, and Mixed Martial Arts. They also hold fight tournaments usually sold out (4 already another coming in December). Day Class: Monday 12-1 pm. I attend the jiu jitsu classes and wish there would be more women who come. It's a complete work out and challenging in getting the techniques correctly done. My goal is to get the techniques correct and to remember these arsenal during an actual grappling session. I love the artform; it is beautiful to watch 2 technicians going at it. And there are a lot of good technicians here who are very helpful in showing you the correct technique. Everyone is really helpful. Camaraderie is good. Overall a great work out and great people!!! http://westcoastjiujitsu.com read more

So i just moved to town. Needed a new school to train at. Stopped in for a class to give it a test run. Nick was at the front desk and was really great. Prior military like myself so we had some stuff to bs about. Gave me a discount on my monthly rate for being military. Gave me the tour first off and went over the classes. Not a huge gym (sq ft wise) but has everything you would need to train. Plenty of mat space and a ring if you want to go that route. Meet a few of the instructors during class and was impressed. 90% of the guys training were purple belts or above and all were solid. Took me all of 5 minutes to decide i wanted to train here. Love how the classes are run. Little bit of warm up, decent amount of teaching time and then the rest is all rolling. Love it. This is a great place to train at if you want solid rolls all the time. read more

I've been doing jiu-jitsu for most of my life. Been to several different schools in at least three different countries. I've never been so welcomed to a school as I was in West Coast Jiu-Jitsu. The instructors, staff and practitioners are all really friendly. The mat is large enough to accommodate a full class. I'd really recommend anyone interested in martial arts to join the team! read more

I've been working out at West Coast, primarily the Cardio classes, since before my wedding in May. Great workouts and got me in tip top shape to say "I DO". Enjoy the smaller class sizes and the intensity of the workouts. I don't see myself leaving this gym and going anywhere else for a long time. read more

I recently was in Port Hueneme for work and visited the Oxnard location. Everyone -- the receptionist, the instructor, all the students -- were extremely friendly. The facilities -- the mats, changing room, restroom, etc. -- were very clean. The instruction was top notch and the work out just about killed me (which of course is a good thing). I would recommend this gym to anyone visiting the area or living there and looking for a home gym. read more
