The classes they run
“The environment that Mario creates at his school is great for first timers and for people who have been consistently training for years.”
“My son goes to open mat night and it’s free and he always gets a great workout in and the staff is AWESOME!”
“He offers classes for women only and kids as well!”
“As an added plus, there is an emphasis on realistic self-defense for beginners and a padded wall to practice on.”
“Additionally, the regulars were always welcoming and happy to give pointers, be it after class or even during the handful of open mats I attended there.”

“Additionally, the regulars were always welcoming and happy to give pointers, be it after class or even during the handful of open mats I attended there.”
“I visited for ten days and him and his students (along with assistant coach Philip) were very welcoming.”
“I also added some new technique to my arsenal.”
“I would say that this is MMA style jiujitsu, which will help you in a real fight, but it also rolls over to competition.”
“Was traveling through the state and wanted to get some training in, everything was clean and everyone was kind and helpful.”
“They also focus on self-defense techniques that transition well into competition.”
From the reviews
66 jiujustu is a great place to train. I was on vacation from California and stopped in. I was a bit nervous not knowing anyone but 66JJ was inclusive, and everyone was very welcoming. It felt like I had already trained there for a while.
5/5 I've trained at most of the gyms in the area. Mario is the only legitimate black belt actively teaching in town as far as I know. You won't find a better value in the monthly dues, especially for an instructor with the same wealth of knowledge in bjj, boxing, wrestling and mma.
Had a fantastic several weeks training nogi at 66 while I was in town. Being still brand new to Jiu Jitsu, it’s always intimidating walking in somewhere new, but 66 ended up a fantastic experience for me.
I've been going here for about 15 months now, and this place is my second family. The owner is Mario, he is a great guy, and truly loves teaching and doing jiujitsu. Mario will teach you everything from takedowns, to ground work, gi, no gi, and more.
New to muay thai? Start at 66 JIU-JITSU
66 JIU-JITSU comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at 66 JIU-JITSU
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
