Gold Bar Training Center

Legitimately the best academy I’ve even been to! Owned & run by some of the best guys, humble & kind killers! It’s evident by the guys who train under them, great jiu jitsu & attitudes. High level jiu jitsu & a great training environment. They’ve really been intentional about cultivating this academy, everything from their gym rules to the family friendly environment with children’s play room, and bringing in high level martial artists consistently & their beautiful & clean facilities. Wish I still lived here and could come regularly, but I love everytime I have the chance to train here! 100/100 come train here if you have the opportunity!

This is the best jiu jitsu academy in South Dakota. I’m very grateful to have been able to train here, everyone is very welcoming and high level. Sadly, I had to unexpectedly move across the country, but I wish I could’ve stayed in rapid city to continue training here. I recommend this academy to anyone interested!!

If you want a great group of folks who will make everyone feel like family this is the place for you! My absolute favorite place to train. World class instructors, fun at every class, and they support First Responders and Veterans which is a plus! “It’s the people not the place”. My wife and I love it and recommend it 10/10!

Clean, friendly and the highest jiu jitsu instruction around! All the instructors bring tons of energy for kids class and treat the kids as if they were their own! Couldn’t be happier to train here with my kids, truly the gold standard of Jiu Jitsu in Rapid City.

Stopped in for a comp class while roadtripping through. We were looking to shower because we were traveling in our cars, they didnt have a shower but gave us defense wipes for free which was very kind. Overall seemed like a pretty friendly and welcoming community to me!
