From the reviews
I really cant recommend this place more than anything Ihave for a kid or adult.. best place ever.. best teachers... best price... super recommended.. any kid should be taking this class.. super prices for what they do .... all classeses for one price.. super happy with chris and teachers..
I feel at home when I’m training here. Wide variety of classes to partake in from different striking disciplines to grappling. Professor Chris is as real as they get and I can’t recommend NCJJ enough. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won’t regret it
My son and I been at this amazing place since August of 2021! With the great professors and coaches you will learn how to feel secure, safe and confident!!!!! ❤️
While other schools only focus on sport and competition, professor Chris understands that not everyone has the time to compete nor wants to compete, at NCJJ you can train sport, self defense or MMA along with striking!! And if you are an LEO he has a free class every Friday at 5pm!
New to muay thai? Start at National City Jiu Jitsu Club
National City Jiu Jitsu Club comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 National City Jiu Jitsu Club
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.
