So you did it… you signed up for a tournament… I think of it this way. The tournament divisions are purposely grouped by skill level (belt color), age, and weight. This is done to make the divisions as competitive as possible since it wouldn’t be fair for a blue belt to have to face a […]

I highly recommend North Park Jiu Jitsu. There is no doubt that you’ll receive top-level instruction here. The instructors are knowledgeable and continually seek to learn new techniques and teaching methods from top Jiu Jitsu practitioners around the world. The gym culture is another plus. NPJJ promotes values such as work ethic, humility, inclusivity, among many others. NPJJ supports its students in achieving their BJJ goals, whether it be winning competitions or simply learning the art. To top it off, NPJJ has an amazing women’s program. The program is lead by Ms. Paulete Cusi who is a seasoned and accomplished competitor herself. She shows a wide variety of moves and assists women in acquiring the confidence to achieve their full potential. The growing group of women are awesome people to train with whom I am proud to call my friends.

North Park Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has unquestionably changed my life. As someone who started training karate at age 5, martial arts are an important part of my identity, but it was always a dream to train Jiu-Jitsu. I got a lot more than Jiu-Jitsu though, since joining North Park BJJ in August of 2019. I found a new family and lifelong friends. As a timid white belt, Professors Mike and Jim fostered a fun and welcoming environment that made Jiu-Jitsu accessible and exciting. They took a genuine interest in my personal development and invested a great deal of time on and off the mats to guide and inspire me. Receiving my blue belt and representing North Park at a competition were two of my most rewarding and meaningful experiences to date. I could not be more grateful to be a member of the North Park family and could not possibly provide a stronger recommendation to anyone interested in self-defense, martial arts, camaraderie, self-actualization, or just having the most fun they’ve had in their life.

A very welcoming and open BJJ club. I’ve visited a few times and its always been a pleasant experience that made me want to come back and train again as soon as possible, I can’t say enough positive things about it. All BJJ gyms should be like this one.
Rosana Cervantes
Amazing staff. Great vibes. My kids love it!!! Thank you everyone at NPBJJ for your commitment and dedication to your students.

Really great place to learn jiujitsu. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, makes you feel comfortable right away. Today the noon class and coach Rajiv pushed me the hardest I have tried in my month of training and I really appreciated it from everyone, i didn’t know I could get past my normal stopping point. it takes help from your coach and teammates to get past insecurity and fear of failure and this place is very supportive. Highly recommend. Excited for my daughter to start the toddler classes next year!
Yesenia Hdez
I highly recommend this place for their children’s classes. The coaches are tough on the kids but at the same time very patient with them.. they are there to help them learn and grow in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.. My nephew loves going each day and learning new things.

North Park jiujitsu has the perfect vibe that I am looking for in a BJJ school. When you walk in you feel at home and relaxed. I’m a 42 year old retired police officer, I’m not looking for a militant school where everyone is trying to kill each other. I just want a place where the vibe is good, the people are passionate about jiujitsu, and everybody is there to learn and to help each other grow, and that is north park BJJ. The head professor Mike Cusi is a phenomenal teacher, a wealth of knowledge and his love for jiujitsu and teaching is very apparent. All of the professors at the school are great teachers and a reflection of the vibe that Mike brings to the table. If you’re looking for personal growth, an excellent workout, a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by good people and jiujitsu that matches the Southern California lifestyle, then north park jiujitsu is your school. I highly recommend this place.

Thank you professors, coaches and students for the dedication and hard work. We look forward to seeing everyone’s growth in this art! #greaterthingsareyettocome 📸: @knee.on.soul
Great kids class with @_paulete, @audricvsfood and @j_smooth1904 yesterday. The class put a lot of focus on the positioning and details of the knee slide pass. Looks like everyone learned a lot!
The committed will do what it takes to improve. Whether it’s tie their own arm, play only specific positions or watch and take notes. Injuries are part of the game but they are not excuses to stop advancement.
