Attended my first class this evening and although I was nervous, I was welcomed like an old friend. Coach Melvin is awesome and was super patient teaching me techniques while also running the class. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

I stopped in while visiting Legoland with my family. Melvin and his team were great. I joined one of their open mats and got some vacation rolls in. The rolls were solid and the people were friendly. I look forward to sharing the mat with them again. If you are ever in the area check this place out.

The best fighting gym I’ve been to. Bar none. I’ve been to other jiu jitsu schools in winterhaven, and boxing gyms out of state, and whbjj has by far been the friendliest, and also has the best coaches. If you want to get into combat sports, start here.

I started going here about 3 months ago and it has been a great experience, coach Melvin has been one of the best coaches I have ever had. Very attentive and knowledgeable when demonstrating all the different techniques. Feels like my home away from home.

This place is amazing. My Husband and my two girl absolutely love coming. The coach is so attentive and he takes his time to explain every move. He’s very patient with the kids and he makes you work hard. His wife is an absolute angle. If you’re looking for a place to be active and have your kids active this is a great family friendly environment.

This place is amazing !!!! I have been doing BJJ for years and years and have never met such professional, ethical, moral & most of competent instruction. Melvin and his staff are the cats meow !!! I would love to bottle whatever they have up and put it into my businesses. Thank you all for all your hard work and your ability to not only teach beginners but seasoned BJJ connoisseur such as myself.
