About Black Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

At Black Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we are Rapid City's most established BJJ academy — a training community built on the pillars of dedication, respect, and continuous growth. Located on West Main Street, our gym is home to a deep roster of experienced practitioners, including three black belts on staff: Jeremy Schunneman, Tyler Guisinger, and Wesley Leong.

Our curriculum covers the full spectrum of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for all ages. Adult classes run in both gi and no-gi formats, with separate Fundamentals and Advanced tracks to ensure proper development at each stage. Kids programs are organized by age group: 3–5, 5–9, and 9–16, each with age-appropriate instruction. We also offer a dedicated Women's class, Homeschool classes, and regular Open Mat sessions for supplemental drilling and rolling.

Every roll at Black Hills BJJ is an opportunity to learn, challenge yourself, and forge lifelong friendships. Our mat culture is competitive but supportive — brown belts, purple belts, and newer students all train together, creating an environment where knowledge flows freely. If you're in the Rapid City area and serious about jiu-jitsu, Black Hills BJJ is where you belong.

I cannot stress this enough, GO! It is amazing! The people are amazing! The philosophy is amazing! The leadership is amazing! These people helped me through some dark times and help me to succeed. If you don't think your athletic or strong, go and be with people. Watch, move slow, and just be present. The culture is so incredibly fenominal. This place is far beyond BJJ, it's a haven or love, Respect, discipline, and improvement.

BHBJJ I stumbled across BHBJJ while in was looking for some way to stay active and learn a new skill. People were friendly and welcoming, and the teaching was well planned and easy to follow. Students range from hobbyists to competitors, and I would highly recommend anyone thinking about learning a new skill and willing to be humbled to check out Black Hills BJJ.

Absolutely the best. Jeremy and his team go above and beyond for everyone. The best Jiu Jitsu I’ve ever been blessed to be part of… I’ve now been training here now for 10 years!! Great instruction, tough rolls, amazing people. Jeremy leads with God at the front and it shows in how the people of this gym and how they treat each other. The hardest class is the first class! Then you’ll regret not coming in sooner! What are you waiting for just come in and try it! Stop reading this review and walk though the door!
