He has learned so much, even at 6 years old! He has gained confidence, patience, and self help skills working with the teachers and students of all levels.

Thank you for leaving us a great review, Jessica! We've loved having little Oliver in class & it's been rewarding to watch him build his foundational grappling skills over the last several months. We are looking forward to watching him continue to grow through the years as he continues to build his confidence, resilience, & skills. 😀 Jessica Felsburg2024-10-05 Stopped in here while traveling for a few classes and enjoyed the classes with Coach Brandon. Definitely check it out if looking for Bjj classes in st. Paul.

Thank you for leaving us a 5 star review Jeff! I'm glad enjoy training with us! Jeff M.2024-08-28 Place is amazing. Professor Bergeron was kind and courteous. Welcomed all his students by name and engaging in aspects of their everyday life as if not only students but companions. Lessons were thorough and explained well. Technique was everything you hoped for. And he rolled with anyone and everyone. Officially one of my favorite gyms to visit after my very first visit. If on the fence I highly recommend from beginners to self ascribed beasts give this place a look!

Hey Mike, Thank you for taking the time to leave us an awesome review!! It was really great having you visit our Academy & being so helpful with our developing students. I always really enjoy having we'll experienced grapplers like yourself visit & offer their input & add their experience to our training sessions. We're looking forward to seeing you back in this week & we'll help you get ready for Master Worlds however we can! 💪 Michael Reed2024-08-03 When I was searching for a BJJ gym, there were a few options that were closer to home. One of the main reasons I chose St. Paul BJJ Academy was the amazing reviews. After 25 or so classes I am so glad I decided to join. Coach Brandon runs a top notch organization and there is a clear culture of friendliness, hard work, learning, and fun. I highly recommend this gym to beginners and experts alike.

Thank you for leaving is a solid review, Gary. It's been fun getting you introduced to grappling, and I hope we get to watch you progress & develop for years to come! Gary Lussier2024-06-03 I love this place! The teachers all have their own complementary style, they truly care and are always ready to listen and give amazing advice. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The experienced students are also great teachers and so patient with white belts while practicing. This school is so much more than just practice, it’s about respect, care, discipline and also having the best fun ever. Jujitsu has brought balance in my life, and a big smile on my face any time I think about the awesome friends I have made there. I’m still fairly new but I feel like I’ve been part of the family for ever! 😊🥰 Thank you Brandon for opening your home’s doors so generously!

Thank you for leaving us such a great review, Vinie! It's been wonderful getting to expose you to Jiu Jitsu & watch you develop over these last few months. It's rewarding helping people like yourself realize how tough they can be. Keep up with your new strength workouts you've been doing outside of class, and in time you'll see how that will help you in jiu jitsu. Keep up all of your hard work, Vinie! 💪 Vinie Beauvalot2024-05-01
“I have been training at the St. Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy since November of 2015, and joining was one the best decisions I’ve made. Brandon teaches skills that could save your life some day. But it’s more than that. Jiu jitsu teaches respect for others, and for yourself. You will discover and push your boundaries – mentally, emotionally, and physically. Jiu jitsu is rewarding in a way that no amount of money can buy. It is an art, a science, self defense, and a community that will form an everlasting part of your life.”
“I honestly never thought I would take part in any type of martial arts, but after just one BJJ lesson, I was completely hooked! The lessons are great and the workout is amazing. Not only are you learning the sport of Jiu Jitsu but you are also learning self-defense. Brandon does a great job at breaking down the skills and taking the time to individually help you grow. I have felt incredibly welcome since the day I walked in the door. I looked in to other gyms closer to home to continue exploring my new found passion and nothing else compared to the St. Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy. Now, I’m driving 45 minutes in traffic most days just to get to class 3 times a week and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Thank you for expanding my confidence and keeping me healthy.”
“I’m the first to admit I was reluctant to try bjj. Mainly due to the fact that my only martial arts experience was earning a yellow belt in tae kwon do when I was about 9. But also I saw bjj as a traditionally male dominated sport and was nervous going into it as a female. I soon realized that I had no need to be intimidated. The St. Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy provides a very accepting atmosphere no matter what your level of experience is. The instructor is patient and willing to work one on one with you but also gives you the freedom to work out how to do techniques at your own pace. There is also something truly satisfying about being able to see the progress you make. I can tell I’ve gotten stronger and even though my job only allows me to train once a week or so I can tell my technique is improving. I’m a total work out fanatic and I love having something totally different in my routine. Though really the biggest bonus has been the self defense application. Just knowing I now have options if things go bad is very empowering.”
“My name is Chou Heu and I am 32 years old. I have been training at Saint Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy for about 8 weeks at the time of this writing. I have been blessed with the opportunity to train five times a week. If I have attended about 30 training sessions so far and I have enjoyed every single one of them. My nephew joined me on a tour and we signed up immediately after a quick demonstration of a few techniques. The coaches are friendly, the mats are clean, and the comradery is unlike anything I have been involved in. I currently have a personal trainer for two sessions per week at a local gym and this is without a doubt a better value. I will not only learn how to defend myself, I will get fit while doing it. I have since cancelled by personal training contract at the local gym and I am finishing up my personal training sessions. I am currently in the foundation program, but I believe, when the time is right, I will be invited into the mastery program at the academy. Overall, I highly recommend Saint Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy. If you need a place to train or happen to be interested in BJJ and you are in the twin cities, come on by. I hope to see you on the mats one day, not as an opponent, but a training partner.”
