"When we walked into Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Carlsbad, we felt a positive vibe and welcoming environment. Perfect place for our family to bond and practice the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Joao, our coach is an outstanding instructor. His method of teaching is effective for both kids and adults. The classes improved our health dramatically and we are much happier today. We enjoy every class and always look forward to it. Perfect place for all ages and for the entire family. We are very grateful for being part of Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Carlsbad and for having an awesome respectful team."

"I started jiu-jitsu back in October of 2017 and it has made a huge difference in my life, thanks to the great support and teaching I receive from my coach Joao Silva at Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu located in Carlsbad. Coach is a great inspiration, motivating and demanding without being intimidating. It’s the best workout I have ever had, very physical and mentally challenging. It keeps me engaged and inspired. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a team environment with a fun, learning environment."

“Best BJJ School in Carlsbad. Joao is a very down to earth guy that helps people of all ages and skill levels achieve success. The facility is the best around, especially for women. Everyone is respectful, helpful and has their ego in check. There are classes for every skill level and instructors that instruct to your ability. I highly recommend this gym!”

"I’ve been a member for just over one year now. In this past year, Ribeiro Carlsbad gave me an incredible place to exercise and lose 25lbs., discover a passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and make great friends along the way. I’m 36 and in the best shape of my life! The community aspect is amazing, the gym is clean and inviting, the people are friendly and it’s a family environment where many parents and their kids train. João is an incredible instructor with an impressive background in personal training, physical therapy and other martial arts. He’s an accomplished BJJ competitor and a dedicated coach. I recommend trying out a class to anyone looking to make a positive change in their lives!"

“Our 10 year old son took an introductory Jiu-jitsu class with Joao at JCS Fitness and Martial Arts over a year ago and he loved it. He’s been taking classes there three days a week since then and has made many new friends through the program. JCS Fitness/Ribeiro Jiu-jitsu Carlsbad is a great place for kids to build confidence and stay fit in a family friendly environment. The adult classes are also very good, even if you have no previous experience.”

“My name is Justin, I have been in the military for 18 years and work as a mobile mechanic, I've trained with Joao for the past year, when I started with the gym I weighed 257, after just training 3 times a week I've lost 30lbs. I've trained off and on in jiu jitsu either GI or no GI since 2007 at different gyms in Southern California. Ribeiro Carlsbad has a great team atmosphere and training partners. There is a high level of competition but a team environment and training partners that are willing to teach or help improve your skills with also caring about your well-being and to not cause injury. This is a great place to train and get a great work out in.”

"Joāo is a great instructor. He is welcoming, patient, hardworking, and friendly. Joāo creates an atmosphere that is family oriented. He has great concern for all his pupils and spends time getting to know everyone. I would recommend JCS to all who are interested in fitness and martial arts. I almost forgot to mention he is very skilled and knows his stuff. I don’t think you could ask for anything more when trying to learn something new. Thanks Joāo!"
