    The coaches keep our kids on BJJ point with their strict but respectful style of teaching and discipline. Our son who has ADHD and often struggles with attention and impulsively has obtained outstanding coaching and support! Even during this pandemic they have kept our kids focused and their skills honed through virtual classes.

    I tried taking our daughter here to try out the free class and had a bad experience. Our daughter (5) is shy/timid when first joining new classes. We came for the program and were welcomed in, the onboarding process was straightforward and polite. Facilities are clean. Seems like it would be good for older kids however they were not accommodating for a new younger child. The head teacher did not try to engage our daughter after she said she was scared and just told her to sit on the side and join in when she wants. We sat on the sidelines and tried to encourage her however the teacher did not make any additional effort in the 30min time period. When I tried to playfight with her so she gets interested in the class, the head teacher loudly told us to cut it out from across the room. Another event that made us not like this facility was the reception lady having a conversation about her not liking kids and how she would never have kids. Felt that this was inappropriate and can be seen from her attitude in how she didn't really seem to care (nor the teachers) about trying to engage a new student. We decided to leave after 30 mins and told the reception lady that our daughter did not participate and we would be leaving and the only response we got was "ok bye". Seems like its great for practical jiujitsu, but not very fun or engaging to children.

    I've known Patty & Carlos for the better part of a decade now. They're both seasoned competitors and have a wealth of knowledge and patience when it comes to martial arts and teaching. Whether you're a jiujiteiro looking for a tough gym, or just someone looking for a challenging new way to stay in shape and learn priceless life skills, check them out. Good, tough, family owned and operated gym. Their kids train, so you can bring yours too. They have classes for all ages!

    Lake County Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been awesome to my family and I. Carlos and Patty would always go above and beyond for their students. Training is always top-notch and the overall vibe is amazing. I learned so much here and I owe this place a lifetime of gratitude for bringing me back to life in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

    This place is phenomenal! The coaches are so nice and patien, overall great people and have made me feel at home. They are great at teaching and I have learned so much. This gym is spotless, it is so clean from the bathrooms to the mats. I highly recommend this gym if you're from the area and want to learn BJJ!

    The atmosphere is positive and welcoming where you are encouraged at every level. New students are brought along at a pace they are comfortable with. If you have some experience and are interested in challenging yourself there are classes for that with other students that will help push you to your goals. Everyone helps each other to be their best whether it is to become better at jiujitsu, self-defense, or general fitness. All the instructors from coaches Carlos and Patty on down are extremely knowledgeable, personable, and always willing to help you. It's always a good time in class and the learning atmosphere is fun and light. Take the first step and try it out. You will be hooked.

    Lake County Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can't be beat! For years I felt the draw to get back into martial arts after a long hiatus from childhood karate. I know I did not want the risk of engaging in high-impact sports long term, and was looking for an alternative. I had heard great things about Brazilian jiu jitsu, so I decided to give it a chance. I came upon Lake County BJJ and enrolled in my first free trial class. It was an informative, and deeply humbling experience. I decided to sign up the very next day and now that I am 6 months into training, my only regret is I did not sign up sooner. Lake County BJJ offers a friendly and encouraging learning environment for all levels that promotes safety and keeps you engaged. They provide gi and no gi classes, so you have the versatility of learning both disciplines. Their enthusiastic instructors maintain a high level of respect for the sport and community, and they make learning BJJ fun and rewarding every step of the way. I try to go at least 3 times a week, as you learn something new every day. I enjoy that you get a full-body workout, while learning the concept of body mechanics and how to leverage them to your advantage. Since I started 6 months ago, I have seen a clear difference in physical strength, endurance, an increase in body coordination and ability. Interestingly, I have also noticed a shift in perspective; opening up new avenues for strategic thinking and problem solving. On top of being a world-class school, from what I've personally seen, Lake County BJJ promotes the growth of local businesses and gives back to the community regularly. I am lucky to have found the Lake County BJJ school and community, and I cannot recommend them enough. It is a great place to learn the sport and art of BJJ!

    I couldn’t be happier with Lake County BJJ. Coaches are great, their attention to detail is second to none. Something that I truly appreciate when it comes to learning a new skill. Everyone in the gym is extremely humble and you can tell by the conversations that are taking place after class. Everyone wants to get better and the atmosphere created by Coach Carlos and Coach Patty is second to none. My only regret is I should have started sooner. So if you’re like me, start now! Don’t wait

    Been attending for little over a year, and I can honestly say this place is incredible for anyone looking to learn and partake in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are all knowledgeable, welcoming, and encouraging. It’s a culture of respect and supporting each other to improve, teamwork is really a huge emphasis. It’s an excellent place to get in shape and build character, and have fun! Can’t recommend this gym enough. I enjoy being there, it’s my home away from home!

    One of the most beautiful BJJ gyms I have ever trained at with some of the nicest folks you will ever meet. I cannot wait to come back!!!

    My teenage sons and I have visited twice for seminars, Lucas Leite and Adam Wardzinski! We live 50 miles away but they were both definitely worth the trips. Carlos and Patty run a top notch academy and are great people. Their gym is big and clean, and the the atmoshere is very family friendly. I highly recommend them.

    I love lake county brazilian jiu-jitsu! Everyone there is so nice to me and so helpful. I’ve been looking for a wrestling-like sport for a while and brazilian jiu-jitsu is the perfect sport for me.

    Patty & Carlos are genuine people who are truly passionate about Jiu-Jitsu! Looking forward to training with them more.

    We love LCBJJ! Our seven year old loves his class. The instructors are friendly, kind, and have done wonders with our kid. You’re awesome!

  • 5/5 Sean F. 4 months ago on Google
    Carlos and Patty have created a truly amazing environment to learn in. It is genuinely like being part of a family at this gym. The instruction that you will receive is world class, as evidenced by the amazing competitors that are products of this gym. If you want to have an effective way of defending yourself, get fit, make friends or gain confidence; learning this discipline will give you all of these things and more. People who come to train at the open mat from other gyms regularly comment on how great the environment is and how skilled the students are. Come train. I wish I would have started long before I did.
