Had my first experience at Rivalry this week. I highly recommend if you are in Fresno area, go check them out. Great gym culture. The professor was friendly, helpful and offers a great schedule! The students were friendly and so inviting. I had some really great technical rolls. I will definitely be back!
My kids have been doing BJJ for over a year and we recently switched to Rivalry because they needed more structure. My husband and I are beyond impressed with the kids competition class and regular class. Victor is a great professor and even keeps track of points for the kids when they roll which motivates those who love to compete. Since joining, my kids have been so excited everyday to go to class and even more excited for their next competition! Everybody there has been so kind and welcoming. Thank you guys for providing such a great place for my whole family to train.
We started training here after having a lackluster experience at another gym in town. We had tried out Rivalry but ended up somewhere else because it was cheaper and seemed "good enough." We ended up coming back to Rivalry because it was just that much better. Coach Victor attracts good people to his gym -- people who are encouraging, kind, positive and family-oriented. We took a few years off and came back -- this time with much more consistency. My son and I have been coming about 3 days/week for the last couple of years and really enjoy the coaching and positive atmosphere. On top of that, the place is clean and has good locker rooms with showers in case you need to go somewhere immediately after class. I've chatted a bit with other coaches in town and I think most of them run fine programs. But Rivalry is where we feel most at home. Victor and the Rivalry crew provide a great place to get started in BJJ or really develop your game in a welcoming place. Highly recommend!
Great gym! My husband, young son and myself all train. We have been apart of this gym for 6 years now. Coach Victor has created a perfect environment to train and grow and the proof is in the retention of the gym members. Many different opportunities to train during the week to meet your schedule. BegInners, Intermediate and Comp class available. Clean gym, separate men and women locker room with showers, elevated mat and something you will also notice is the amount of women that train here, which speaks volumes. 100% family friendly. A safe environment BUT definitely with a competitive edge!! If you’re thinking of starting this sport then this is where you want to be.
Today I visited Rivalry Jiu-Jitsu in Fresno, California, during a weekend work trip, and it was an excellent experience! I checked their schedule online and decided to drop in for a class. From the moment I arrived, Coach Victor and the team were extremely friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was very inviting, and everyone went out of their way to make me feel at home. The gym itself is clean and well-maintained, with spacious locker rooms that add to the overall comfort. They offer both Gi and no-Gi classes, including intermediate fundamentals, making it a great place for practitioners of all levels. If you’re local to Fresno, this is a gym you should absolutely check out. And if you’re just visiting like I was and want a great workout while you’re in town, Rivalry Jiu-Jitsu is the place to go. Highly recommended!
