Welcome to North Coast Jiu Jitsu

Our vision is to create a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training academy/team in Vista that is in a category of one. We run our school as a true martial arts academy. The tenants of our school are what will separate us from the competition. We are not in this to “make a living” we are in this to make a difference. And we are humbled and excited at the opportunity to make a positive impact on anyone’s life.

Whether you’re just looking to get in shape or ready to compete at the World Championships, we are 100% behind the individual needs and goals of each of our students.  We have beginner and advanced classes for adults and youth. We feel strongly about supporting our police and military, and we have classes specifically tailored to their needs.

    I've been training here since they've opened and glad I did! Jake and Kris are exceptionally skilled on the mats and both have their own style. Everyone is friendly, supportive and push each other to get better. My wife trains here also, and their kids program looks amazing as well. Fun for the whole family!
