About Berks County Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Nestled in the heart of Temple, PA, Berks County Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a martial arts school—it’s a hub for fitness, self defense, and community. With roots firmly planted in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our facility also operates as a full-service boxing gym, kickboxing school, and fitness center. Whether you’re after Gi or No-Gi grappling, striking, strength training, or family-friendly programs, Berks County BJJ brings world-class instruction and an inviting atmosphere to every student who walks through our doors.

Expert Coaching That Meets You Where You Are

At the core of our success is the coaching team led by Jose—“phenomenal,” “amazing,” and “approachable” are just a few words students use to describe him. From total beginners learning the basic hip-escape to seasoned practitioners refining competition sweeps, our instructors tailor each lesson to individual needs. Coach Jose and his assistants prioritize clear explanations and hands-on guidance, helping you progress safely and efficiently. Whether you’re mastering your first guard pass or sharpening your boxing combinations, you’ll find feedback that’s honest, detailed, and encouraging.

A Supportive, Ego-Free Community

Walk into Berks County Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and feel the camaraderie. Our “no-ego, family-like environment” means white belts and black belts train side by side, sharing tips and cheering each other on. “Super friendly and welcoming…a group who just plain and simple gets after it,” one member says, and that spirit is woven into every class. Newcomers quickly discover that training here means joining a tight-knit team that celebrates milestones—whether it’s earning your first stripe or landing a powerful head kick in kickboxing class.

Impeccable Facility Cleanliness & Safety

Cleanliness and safety are non-negotiable. Our mats are meticulously maintained, sanitized after each session, and inspected daily. Approachable staff monitor drills to ensure proper technique and prevent injuries, so you can focus on enhancing your skill set. Parents and adult students alike comment on how “clean mats and amicable training partners” create the confidence to explore new techniques and push personal limits in a safe, professional setting.

Flexible Class Variety & Scheduling

Life is busy—that’s why we offer a comprehensive schedule designed to accommodate nearly every lifestyle. Choose from:
• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi and No-Gi)
• Kickboxing and striking fundamentals
• Boxing gym sessions for footwork and power
• Strength and conditioning classes
• Private lessons and homeschool-only kids’ classes
Weekend open mat sessions provide extra time to drill techniques or spar informally, while our free first-class policy gives newcomers a zero-risk opportunity to test the waters. “Took my first free class & got completely hooked,” raves one new student, praising the depth of instruction and friendly atmosphere.

Kids & Family Programs That Inspire Confidence

Parents rave about our kids’ classes, noting low instructor-to-student ratios and age-appropriate drills that teach discipline, respect, and self-confidence. From homeschool martial-arts sessions to dedicated birthday-party packages, children thrive in a structured yet fun environment. Our birthday parties are a local favorite—Jose and Alex deliver an engaging crash course in Jiu-Jitsu, followed by pizza, cake, and supervised mat play. “If I could give more stars I would!” says one delighted parent, highlighting how our team makes every celebration memorable and safe.

Beginner Onboarding & Ongoing Support

Most first-timers feel welcomed and guided from day one, thanks to our streamlined onboarding process. We provide clear orientation, loaner gear, and patient instruction so newcomers can build confidence before stepping onto the mats.
