I felt welcomed joining, the instructors know a lot and explains then goes through the demonstration the help me learn. The more experienced members help too, adding like a secondary level of teaching. Very welcoming culture!

Great gym with wonderful teachers who care about their students. My son cant wait to go learn new things each week.

We love this place! My boys (7 and 9) have been going to the youth class for a couple of years now and they have progressed so much. The instructors are great. The gym in general is a great atmosphere with positive attitude. Cant wait to start my youngest son. Even recommended it to several friends.

Everyday I come to Watts, is an entirely new learning experience. More than anything it keeps me in shape, not just learning to submit Someone or defend myself. From the moment I walked into watts I knew this was the place for me. They really did an amazing job in making me feel at home. Personally, I always look forward to coming to the next class to learn something I didnt know! The best part is that everything comes naturally as long as you keep coming back.

This is a really great BJJ studio. Me and my family have been going here for a while now (my dad and sister are blue belts, and I am a white), and hope to keep coming. Really great teachers that brake things down into detail, flexible times/different classes at varying levels, and they are pretty on top of staying clean! Thanks for everything!!!

My whole family trains here, and we LOVE IT! We have met some great people, and its like a Second family for us.. Comfortable atmosphere, and my kids are learning so much. I do the morning Bootcamp classes, and never felt better. I highly recommend this Academy.

My 8 year old daughter and 13 year old son are happy with Watts. They like that they are able to learn new skills they can use to defend themselves if needed. Instructors are great, my kids cant wait to attend class every week.

Ive been training at Watts for almost 2 years with my kids, and its been a great experience; probably the most fun Ive ever had with my kids. Seeing my daughters take on 180 lb guys and bigger and beating them gives me a lot of confidence that they can protect themselves.Dion and Rhona care about their students, will work with you to make the school work for you.

These people are amazing. The moment I sign up with them they considered me family, and every time we spar right before we spar we slap hands and bump knuckles as a symbol of our friendship. Not to mention they let you try the classes out for free. As someone thats never done martial arts, I couldnt have asked to find a better place I love em so much already ahaha😂

I have been to three different schools and this one by far has been the best. They treat you like family and you learn fast. Give it a try and I promise you will not be disappointed.

This place is a gem. Great class options for literally ALL! Really amazing owners who treat you like family. Definitely a must go

I came to visit because I was in town for work. It didnt matter that I train at another academy, I was welcomed as if I was part of the team. The instruction was fantastic, no egos, no politics, and great training partners. Definitely check this place out.

My family and I have been training here for a few years and we absolutely love it. Great family and competitive environment.

I have been at this gym for 4 years now and it is my second home, everyone there is like family to me, once you step through those doors you are welcomed and treated so well, there are no egos or negative vibes at this gym we are all brothers and sisters and treat each other with love and respect inside and outside so i definitely recommend stopping by and trying out a class and see for yourself.

Dion and Rhona are amazing! Great instructors. Very practical and rewarding. So many options to advance my knowledge and understanding of Jiu Jitsu. Highly recommend Watts!!!

Im only in the area for a few days, but this is going to be my go to spot when Im in simi. Solid instruction, and very welcoming and hospitable students.If youre looking for a solid spot to train while youre in town or for the entirety of your jiu-jitsu journey, you would be making a good choice by dropping into this gym and feeling it out. 5 stars.

I have been training at watts for a few months and Im posting this review because of something that happened a few days ago. No matter what class you take here you will feel close to the people youre with. Theres no egos and you will feel completely comfortable the moment you walk in. My son also has been going here to the Funjitsu class which is for kids aged 3-6 yrs old. For parents that want your kids in a martial arts school I can guarentee there will be no better than this one. My wife has been taking my son and I saw the instructor tara in the adult class so I started asking questions about him and how hes doing. A few questions in she got suspicious and super defensive of him because she didnt realize I was his father. She started asking how I knew him and pretty much why am I asking about him. It was a little funny, but it made me feel good cause I know if Im not there that there will be a good person that cares and looks out for my son and the rest of the kids as well. If youre thinking about taking classes or you want your child in some sort of extra curricular activity I couldnt recommend this place enough. They will have fun, they will make friends, they will learn self defense that actually works, and they will be taught by people that actually care about them.

Watts Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been my home away from home for six years. I have met all of my best friends here and continue to meet new people every week. Whether you are an athlete looking to compete or simply looking to get back in shape, the instructors at Watts BJJ will work to meet your goals. You can pay for a gym membership and run on a treadmill until you get burned out and quit OR you can get in shape disguised as fun and join a family of the best people I know.

Ive been to a few gyms and this is definitely the best BJJ gym Ive been top. Super knowledgeable teachers and NO EGO. The environment is competetive but very friendly and everyone wants to help others improve. Whether youre a beginner or more experienced, this gym is for you.

LOVE IT!Super real,super challenging and super Professional.This place is absolutely amazing!

Ive been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about 4 years now, and it was a great and seamless transition switching to Watts MMA/Simi Valley Jiu Jitsu. With 2 high level Black Belt instructors, and a room FULL of training partners of all belt levels and sizes, it is a place that Im proud to hang my hat and train at. It has a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere, but also is an environment for hard training and detail oriented teaching. I highly reccomend it for someone who is interested in starting to train BJJ, or for a veteran of the sport whos new to the area or just wants a change of pace and a new place to train.

The instructors are true professionals and know how to teach to a wide variety of students. Dion Watts personally coaches all of his students at every competition, because he cares about each student 👍🏼

Fantastic place to train. I was 49 and out of shape when I started, if I can do it so can you!
