Rival Jiu-Jitsu

I can’t say enough good things about Rival. Walking into a new BJJ gym can be intimidating as hell, especially as a newcomer, but from the second I stepped in I felt genuinely welcome. The atmosphere is super positive, respectful, and ego-free. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and patient, which made a huge difference starting out. Great energy and just people who actually want you to learn and improve. Jared is the real deal. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains techniques clearly, and makes sure everyone understands why things work,,, not just what to do. He’s approachable, attentive, and clearly cares about his students, whether you’re brand new or experienced. If you’re even thinking about trying BJJ and want a place that’s welcoming, high-level, and supportive, Rival is it. I’m genuinely excited to keep training here.

Rival BJJ is an amazing place to train, learn, and grow. The environment is welcoming, the community is supportive, and the level of instruction is top-notch. Coach Jarred is the heart of the school—he’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about helping every student improve, no matter their skill level. Jarred breaks down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, and he always takes the time to give individual attention. You can tell he truly cares about his students’ progress, both on and off the mats. The classes are structured, challenging, and fun, and the atmosphere pushes you to be your best while still feeling like part of a family. If you’re looking for a place to start your BJJ journey or take your training to the next level, Rival BJJ with Coach Jarred is the place to be. Highly recommend!

My daughter (11 years old) takes classes at Rival and she loves it. She was at a different place for more than a year and did not like the experience she had with the teacher. When we enrolled her at Rival and she was instructed by Jared, she immediately loved it. Jared is very knowledgeable, kind, uses positive reinforcement, patient, and communicates the skills thoroughly. I highly recommend Rival to anyone looking to learn ju-jitsu for themselves or their kid(s).

I trained at Rival Jiu Jitsu for about a month while home for the holidays and had a great experience. Jared is an excellent instructor, clear, patient, and very knowledgeable. The students were incredibly welcoming from day one. Great training, friendly atmosphere, highly recommend, and will definitely be back next time I visit.
