Egley Train Boise Jiu Jitsu - HQ

Egley Train Boise Jiu Jitsu - HQ was founded in 2022 by Michael Egley with a clear philosophy: practical self-defense, beginner development, and broad learning matter more than gym tribalism or tradition for its own sake. Egley, who began his jiu jitsu journey in 2013 and earned his black belt from Keenan Cornelius, built the academy to reflect a modern, open-minded approach. The school’s identity centers on American Jiu Jitsu, blending influences from traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Muay Thai and meditative arts, and deliberately encourages students to cross-train and explore a wide skill set. Classes at Egley Train Boise are structured to support students at every stage, starting with a strong onramp for beginners. The schedule includes fundamentals in both gi and no-gi, all-levels team training, and extra sparring sessions for those who want more mat time. Children’s programs are divided by age—Littles (3-6), Eaglets (6-11), and Teens (12-16)—with separate classes for adults and a dedicated track for women. The academy also offers a 6-week beginner course and welcomes drop-ins. This approach means nobody is thrown into advanced rounds before they’re ready, and every student gets a clear path from their first class onward. The Boise location operates alongside its Mountain Home affiliate, together serving more than 1,200 students with 58 weekly classes. The facility is wheelchair accessible and emphasizes clean, safe mats. Students interested in practical self-defense, Keenan Cornelius-influenced grappling, and the opportunity to cross-train in striking and meditative arts will find a focused, owner-led environment at Egley Train Boise.
