Jiyu Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Fitness

Jiyu Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Fitness in Castaic is led by Professor Ron, a black belt with a passion for teaching both kids and adults the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Alongside him are Professors Robert and Ray, each bringing their own black belt experience and focus on technique and personal growth, as well as Coach Jenn, who leads the women’s self-defense program with a commitment to practical skills and empowerment. The academy’s teaching staff includes several junior coaches who have grown up on the mats, reflecting the school’s dedication to developing leadership from within. The class structure at Jiyu covers a wide range of ages and needs. Kids as young as four can start in the Little Warriors or Kids BJJ Gi classes, while older children and teens move into Juniors/Teens BJJ and advanced training as their skills progress. For students interested in competition, there are specific classes for both kids and teens focusing on gi and no-gi formats, as well as open mats where younger members can put their skills to the test. Adults have access to both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with additional classes like BJJ Cardio to support fitness and conditioning goals. Beyond BJJ, the academy offers Shotokan Karate under Sensei Jose Gipti, as well as a dedicated women’s self-defense program. The After-School Growth Program combines homework support with martial arts and fitness for children aged 4–12, providing a structured and positive environment after school hours. Drop-ins are welcome, and the facility is wheelchair accessible, making Jiyu Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Fitness a practical option for families and individuals looking to train in Castaic.
