I met Professor Deb when I was on a day trip to Pacifica. She invited me to a woman’s only self defence class that afternoon. I was kind of nervous to go being on holiday and surrounded by people I don’t know but everyone, (Professor Deb, Shona, and forgive me but I can’t remember the other woman’s name!) were all so welcoming! It was incredible to learn from such strong women (physically and mentally. Talk about muscle envy!). I was inspired to go back and sign up for jiu jitsu when I get home. I’m so grateful our paths crossed. If you’ve been looking to join and can join this school, I 100% recommend it! More...

This place is awesome. Throughout the years, I have been a member of 6 different martial arts schools (3 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), and Thrive is by far the best. Professor OJ is structured and consistent, but still has a warm, welcoming personality. My 8 year old son has been training at Thrive since he was 5. My 9 year old daughter and I have been training there for a couple years. I'm 42 years old and I don't like getting injured. The instructors and students at Thrive do a great job of respecting a persons limits. You can fight (roll) as hard or as easy as you want. I'm actually surprised that there are not more reviews on Yelp about Thrive. Maybe because the students feel "at home" there. It may feel a little awkward leaving a review on Yelp about your home.

Best kids class ever! I've taken my 5 yo daughter to all kinds of classes and tried out the Jiu Jitsu class at Thrive today. I expected the kids to just play games and be silly since they are so young. I was blown away. The teacher was amazing and had all the kids in line. You could hear a pin drop with the exception of the teacher talking and all the kids responding in unison about how important it is to listen to their parents and always tell the truth. They practiced grappling from an anti-bullying and self defense perspective and had the kids practice using their words to manage conflict as well as describe events to an adult.If you have a wild child like mine and think they'll never succumb to such discipline, I promise they will fall in line fast. In addition to the structure there's also an emphasis on respect and kindness. This is going to be such a valuable experience for my girl. :) More...

Both our 8 year old daughter and now our 5 year old son enjoy practicing Jiu Jitsu at Thrive in Rockaway Beach. Our daughter has attended for the past 2 1/2 years and it has helped develop her confidence, respect for our family, and Jiu Jitsu skills. Professor OJ is a big part of what keeps us in the program and recently introducing it to our son. He strikes a great balance of discipline, importance of family and understanding that they are kids and need to be kids when appropriate in the class. We highly recommend Thrive and hope the community continues to support it! More...

Highly recommended.  This place is fantastic.  I did a "drop in" class while visiting SF for work.  Teacher (OJ) and his students showed were welcoming, respectful, open to new student, helped me learn carefully and seriously.  I walked away with stronger, smarter, exhausted, and very importantly, uninjured.  Loved it so much i re-scheduled a meeting so i could attend another class the following evening (different teacher -- equally welcoming and excellent).  If I lived anywhere near the studio I'd be a regular.  Did I mention the price  A bargain.  I cannot offer a more enthusiastic recommendation, including anyone looking for introduction to this art / sport.

My grandson started in a few months ago because of bullying at school. The instructor, Professor OJ, is an incredibly knowledgeable and perfect teacher. He just seems to know how to handle the children in such a positive manner - pay attention, you're doing great - thumbs up, is that what you want? - everything a child responds too. And Victoria is patient and tough. All in all, I'm so happy we found this place and now my older grandson is going. Sorry, because of certain situations they can't attend sometimes weekly, so we pay as we go. I hope in 2018 it changes to a regular weekly schedule, which I believe it better. If you stop by and see the kids in motion you'll see why I'm praising this school. More...

My step daughter has been with Thrive Jiu JItsu for just over a year. Professor OJ and his coaches are absolutely amazing. They are all very responsive, excellent communication on any upcoming exciting events for the kids (such has competition). They work one on one with every child to meet their goals. The class atmosphere is more and more every day like a family. I highly recommend any parent to drop by and observe, sign up, and be part of the Thrive family. More...

Jiu-Jitsu
It is because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uses leverage and the opponent’s movements against them. It was designed for a smaller weaker person to defend themselves against a bigger stronger opponent. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the goal is to gain dominant position over your opponent to; submit them while inflicting the least amount of damage possible. While most other arts focus on punching and kicking, Jiu-Jitsu’s focus is on position and control. In essence Jiu-Jitsu is more like chess than fighting. Therefore, it requires dedication, focus, confidence, and respect for your teachers and opponents. This makes it a perfect martial art for anyone particularly for children and young adults who in today’s world are subject to bullying and peer pressure everywhere.
So Why Jiu-Jitsu:
its fun
Its mentally challenging
its makes you physically fit
its best for self-defense
focus
confidence
discipline
