Southside has a great culture, community, and coaches! It’s a very welcoming environment for beginners and the coaches always care about helping your growth. I look forward to it every week and would highly recommend to all!
I’ve been training at Southside for a little over 2 yrs now and I haven’t looked back since. The gym’s culture is all about building respect, community, competitiveness, and most importantly, having fun while learning jiu jitsu! It’s the highlight of my week for those simple reasons. The coaches are always willing to teach and learn from their students no matter what your level is. I really appreciate their diverse lesson structure, ensuring we always get a fresh way of learning positions and applying techniques depending on the situation. Whenever you’re in the Twin Cities area, check out Southside and you won’t be disappointed!
I stopped by Southside while in town visiting family and had an awesome experience. Professor Enrique and everyone I met was very welcoming. He taught a great class, with good technical details and I really enjoyed the positional training. Al the training partners were very nice and it was also great to meet several wonderful & skilled women in the classes I attended. I had some fun & challenging rounds. The gym was very clean. I highly recommend to anyone living in or visiting the area!!
Awesome academy! Excellent gym culture and appreciate the rules they have laid out on their website, made me feel at ease knowing that they have intentionally set things up to be safe, respectful & welcoming. Visiting from out of town & reached out via their website and Enrique messaged me and gave me all the details, was very friendly and welcoming. Had a great time training here, felt right at home and met a lot of great people! Learned a lot from Enrique, he’s a great instructor and it shows by the quality of his students. Was able to attend a charity seminar and learned a lot. Had great rolls and overall an excellent experience. Very much looking forward to training here whenever I’m in town!
1. Incredible nice people. 2. Top-tier instructional. 3. Hard rolls during open mat. Enrique the head coach was extremely kind and he created that culture. Everyone approached me with handshakes and introductions. I forgot a water bottle and everyone was offering water to me with me asking or even saying I forgot a water bottle. I learned some really good new skills. This will be my home gym when returning to Mn! Please give this gym a shot I researched many in the area and this one is the go to! I handed one of the kids there my phone to take a picture of me and coach and he took selfies. Lol. You immediately feel like friends at this gym!
