About SoDel Jiu-Jitsu Club
At SoDel Jiu-Jitsu Club, we bring quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing instruction to Route 9 in Lewes, Delaware — right in the heart of Sussex County's coastal community. Our name reflects where we are: Southern Delaware, shortened to SoDel, and our goal is to be the premier grappling resource for this region.
Classes are taught through instruction, Q&A, drilling, and live sparring so that students at every level can build real technique and apply it confidently. Our BJJ program covers the full positional game — guard, passing, takedowns, and submissions — and our Bang Muay Thai kickboxing program adds striking dimension for students who want to develop a complete martial arts base.
SoDel Jiu-Jitsu Club maintains a safe, friendly environment that is approachable for complete beginners while offering enough depth and challenge to keep experienced practitioners progressing. Located at 17522 Ward Avenue in Lewes, we welcome students from Rehoboth, Lewes, Millsboro, and all of Sussex County.
Reviews
Legit jiujitsu, clean facility with some friendly savages. Highly recommend if you want to get shredded, or be able to compete and win with confidence. Also they have a barrel traditional sauna for members
I can't wait to get back to Sodel. I did a month of training here when looking for a new gym to train at. You could not ask for a better group of people. Jordan is excellent and every one of his students I was able to learn from. Highly recommend checking out if your new to Jiu-Jitsu.
Dropped in for a noon class and will definitely attend again when I’m in the area! Jordan is an awesome dude. Clean mats, great people, great instruction, great rolls. What more could you ask for?
Great school and great experience! Jordan (the owner) is extremely welcoming and helpful and a great BJJ coach. All the students there were very welcoming also and high level. I enjoyed training here while visiting from out of town on vacation and look forward to coming back here my next vacation!
I was in town on a family vacation and needed a place to train. Jordan and his crew could not have been more welcoming! Not only did I get some great rolls in, but the level of instruction from Jordan is awesome! I go a few solid new techniques to add to my game. Great environment, great coaching, and great people. Highly recommend SoDel BJJ!!!
