Barum Jiu-Jitsu San Diego

Came to San Diego for business and was looking for a place to practice and roll. They made me feel at home right away. Definitely coming back. Thank you Barum BJJ for allowing to be part of your family

Barum jiujitsu is an outstanding place to study and train the art of Brazilian Jiujitsu. The Professor, Alfredo Barum, teaches a very technical style of jiujitsu. There is also an emphasis on safety in practice; students are carefully matched up and the Professor keeps a watchful eye on the training. The result being that there are very few injuries while also producing fine competitors. Another major plus for this school is the fact that it welcomes students of all kinds. Men and women train here, kids and adults, younger folks and older folks (I am 57 years old) serious competitors and folks who are recreational players; everybody is welcome at Barum Jiujitsu. I highly recommend the school to anyone interested in Brazilian jiujitsu. I have been coming here 4 days a week since 2011.

Great Club and SUPER friendly workout atmosphere! These guys are always happy to help me out when I make the trip down.
Their open mat workouts are very good. I counted 6 BJJ Black Belts on the mat during the work out!
Alfredo and Harlan always make time to work with me on the dumb things I get stuck on.
For those that live in San Diego, these guys offer the most classes by far. I think they even have 6:00am classes and are open 7 days a week!!!
For people that don’t live in San Diego, they’re happy to have visitors regardless of affiliation !

Seriously like a second home to me, I love our trainer and his family like my own. They have been so warm and welcoming to us throughout the years we’ve been going there. Not to mention they’re the best trainers of jiu jitsu ever! Myself, my husband and our daughter all train there!!! Thumbs up!!!

I started training with Alfredo about 4 years ago. He is a great instructor and the gym has a great family vibe. My 7 yo daughter also trains with Alfredo and now my wife is also taking the women’s class on Saturday’s. The academy is known for having visitors from around the world for the hospitality of the instructors as well as the good level of jiu-​jitsu and great camaraderie of the student body. Oss!

I always visit this academy when I’m in San Diego. High level instruction, strong competition team and a true family atmosphere. 100% recommend this academy.

Great instructor and great team! Osssss!

My 4 year old son has been going to Barum BJJ since jan 2011 and it is wonderful! Alfredo is such a great teacher with the little ones! He is patient, kind, skilled, and I can’t say enough good things about the environment of this school. It is amazing to see these little kids have so much fun while learing such valuable skills… not just about BJJ but LIFE SKILLS. This is much better than karate or tae kwon do bc kids want to wrestle around not stand around and throw empty kicks and punches into the air (that is boring). My son is high energy and this martial art has taught him so much self discipline and stregnth of character. The prices are so reasonable and affordable as well. Alfredo does not give out belt promotions; the kids EARN them and they LOVE Alfredo. Alfredo and his wife Graziella maintain an impeccable training environment… and it is a family environment based on respect, dedication and honor. And on top of all this, these little kids belong to a team that are 6 time National Champions!

After checking out a few BJJ schools in San Diego I decided that Barum Jiu-​Jitsu was the right place to learn. I recommend this place to anyone looking to learn BJJ, tighten up their game (this place is ultra technical), or just get an incredible workout (I lost 15 pounds in my first month!). I like this school because my Professor, Alfredo Barum, is a great teacher that will help you understand the moves and positions without rushing the process. I’m comfortable the whole time. My kids also train at this school with Professor Alfredo Barum and watching how he keeps all of their attention and the way that they absorb the instruction is amazing. We once tried another kids Martial Arts class and they would not join because Alfredo was not there!!! This Place Rocks!!!
