La Academia

“I tried my very first martial arts class ever at La Academia last December, and I decided to stay right away. I’ve found the environment extremely welcoming and there are many other women training here which is awsome. The community itself is amazing. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and the vibe makes you want to keep coming back. The coaches are outstanding: they are helpful, make sure you feel comfortable, and push you to improve. The gym is always clean and well taken care of. Without a doubt, this is the best Jiu-Jitsu gym in Puerto Rico.”

“I dropped in while I was in San Juan for work. We had a total of five black belts on the mat which was such an amazing time. I highly recommend this gym if you are visiting or if you are looking for an academy to start at. The students were extremely welcoming and made me feel at home, Kike was such a great instructor and was quick to talk with me and was very accommodating. I will be back next time I am in San Juan!!”

“I stopped in to train here for two weeks while visiting San Juan for work. This is a great gym with a really dedicated group of regulars. The gym is very nice with a large clean mat space, and bathroom/changing facilities. The instruction was top notch - if you’re into intense training, or have any competitive aspirations, I would definitely train here. Looking forward to visiting again!”

“I was visiting with my partner and we dropped in for a no-gi class. It was such a clean and welcoming gym, it exceeded all expectations. Wonderful, clear instruction, cheerful and friendly vibes all around from the students and teacher. We had an amazing time and would recommend to women/lbgtq folks.”

“This gym is awesome! Incredibly welcoming, friendly and professional. The gym itself, well light, sanitary and all the amenities you need. (Showers, water station, and Gi rentals, I declined, NoGi for life) Had an amazing time at their Friday open mat. The rolls were fun and technical. I came back to San Juan this time for the beach, next time it’s to come roll at La Academia Jiu Jitsu. PSA, bring a water bottle, it gets hot!”

“The environment is welcoming and supportive, with daily classes that cater to all levels. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, featuring showers and a convenient water fountain. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train in a top-notch space!”
