Black Bear BJJ & Fitness

Since we started at Blackbear Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and fitness , my kiddo has absolutely loved it! (He takes the kids BJJ class) The coaches are great—knowledgeable, patient, and they make every class fun while keeping the kids fully engaged. The gym is always clean and has a safe, welcoming atmosphere. Membership prices are very reasonable, and the classes are great for all ages and skill levels, with beginner options available. I also love that each month they introduce a new technique and a “takedown of the month,” which keeps things fresh and exciting. The owner is passionate about his gym and it shows in the energy and quality of instruction. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into Jiu Jitsu or just wanting a great community to train with! They offer a range of classes along with pop up self defense classes ect. > I can’t recommend this gym enough—especially for kids who want to try something new, build confidence, and have fun!

At 40 I struggled to find something I can be passionate about. I tried Black Bear and loved it immediately. They fostered an atmosphere of growth, and a sense of community. My daughters joined and now we have grown closer through learning Jiu Jitsu. The kids classes are amazing, and if getting in shape is your goal, I have lost almost 60 pounds ( doing what I enjoy). If your on the fence, just try one class. You will be amazed!!!

This school is amazing. Jeremy and his staff are knowledgeable and make training exciting. I started my journey hear nearly 4 years ago and they have made me a better athlete. My daughter also just started training at the age of 7 and has fallen in love with the sport due to the atmosphere here at the gym. Highly recommended

I've lived in 6 states and been to BJJ gyms in all of them. None felt like home like Black Bear. Great coaches and environment! My 10-year-old daughter does the kids' classes, and they learn and have a great time. I was inspired by everyone at Black Bear to travel out to Vegas and compete in Masters Worlds, and it was a great decision. They also have the best schedule of any place around, which lets me fit in training with my constantly changing work schedule. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try or continue training.

Black Bear Jiu-Jitsu in Augusta is an amazing gym with a welcoming, family-friendly vibe. This gym also comes with top-notch instructors. The classes are well organized, the facility is clean, and everyone from beginners to experienced students feels supported in this space. It’s a great place to train, get fit, and be part of a positive, encouraging community.
