"Amazing Jiu Jitsu gym. I have been to manny BJJ gyms and this one is hands down the best gym I have been too in over 15 years.
Amazing kids, women's, and adult classes. They offer 5am, 1pm, and 6pm classes.
World class jiu Jitsu in Nampa, ID."
"208 Jiu jitsu is not just a Jiu jitsu school but a family. Quality instruction by experienced husband and wife owners who are both black belts. With both aspects in mind your Jiu jitsu will get better and you will have a great time training with some awesome people. This is my home away from home and I always look forward to each class"
"208 Jiu-Jitsu is committed to cultivating an environment where every individual feels seen, heard, and supported. The owner’s offer of private lessons to help ensure safety and build confidence in injury prevention reflects a genuine concern for the well-being of each student. That level of care and attentiveness speaks highly of their character and leadership."
"I dropped in to the Saturday open mat and really enjoyed my time. The owner Sam was very friendly and welcoming. I had tons of training partners that were extremely high skilled and respectful. It seems like a great community that everyone should go and visit.
Thank you Sam and 208!"
