I started training here as a complete beginner 6 months ago and it's been awesome. Chill people, cool space, and great instruction from Enrique and Nik.

I'm having the best time learning this sport here.

In the foundation classes, coach Enrique demonstrates many techniques with plenty of time for Q+A. After "rolling" is a must. As a fitness enthusiast, I find this one of the most fun an physically challenging activites I've ever done.

This community of members and most excellent coaching staff have been extremely welcoming. I look forward to everything they have to offer!

Great option for anyone looking to train Gi and/or Nogi Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I tried multiple gyms in the Minneapolis area and Southside was by far the most welcoming and affordable option I found!

I started as a fresh white belt in August of 2019 and couldn't have asked for a better introduction to BJJ. The crowd is helpful and encouraging, as exemplified by Enrique and Nik. The schedule is convenient as well, with options for morning and evening attendance. Check it out!

Super friendly and knowledgeable instructors. The classes are great, it's very technique and drilling focused. The owner is very passionate about his students doing well. The new place even has lofted floors which make hitting the ground a little more enjoyable.

I am a Blue Belt and was visiting Minneapolis for work for two weeks. I was a bit nervous being an outsider coming for the first time. When I showed up I met head instructor Enrique and one of his purple belts. They were so accommodating! They let me borrow a gi and i noticed a good mix of people in class including young, old, male and female.
I decided to buy a pass for the next ten days and I took six classes. Everyone was really cool, welcoming and no egos in this dojo. Saturdays they also had a couple black belts visiting during open mat so the quality was really good.

Great training environment: friendly people who are serious about learning technique and careful to practice safely. Very reasonably priced.

Skilled yet competitive grapplers, convenient location, super cool instructor, and can't forget the fireplace. Thanks for having me over guys.

Southside is a fantastic facility. Instructors are high level and Define things in such a way that even complicated movements can be easily understood. There's no attitude here just the Brotherhood of jiu jitsu. Try it you won't be disappointed.

Great place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for all levels! Very friendly instructors and training partners.

Any belt color feels comfortable here. Clean facility, friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices, great deal for U of M students! Even though the owner (Enrique) is very strong guy he is concentrating on details of sophisticated technique sequences and not using his strength as a foundation of his game. Technique and flow drills!
