I have trained Jiu-Jitsu for quite some time now, and started at Strive almost 2 years ago. They have a great team of men and women to help with anything you need. Professor Rocha is an amazing coach. Highly decorated competitor who knows what he is doing and explains everything in very easy to understand steps. If you are in the Lodi area, this is the place to train. Facilities are clean, and they have classes for everyone.

10/10 environment for anyone looking to learn jiujitsu and better themselves. Techniques are high level and the Coaches provide in depth instruction on how to improve in your jiujitsu journey.

I started at strive less than 4 months ago and have been so satisfied with the academy since day 1.The environment is extremely welcoming and full of love. Each and every individual in there is kind and respectful.The most valuable part of choosing an academy is finding the right professor. Professor Manny Rocha is very engaging. Providing skill and confidence in each individual student. He is a very strong leader.I could not be happier here at Strive!

Best gym in the area! Family friendly/oriented and multiple class options. Very reasonable membership prices and flexible. If you’re somebody who has never grappled or stepped foot on a mat, this is the place to get started. If you’re trying to be a high level competitor, Strive is THE place to go. If you have children, sign em’ up and train too, but if that’s not the case, Strive ALSO HAS a kids room for all children to enjoy as their parents train. Coach Manny, Meredith, and Ryan are all tremendous leaders who are capable of teaching even the most intricate techniques to beginners, as well as seasoned athletes. This review then presents a dire question; why would you train anywhere else?

Strive has been my Jiu Jitsu home since 2019. Professor Manny and Coach Meredith have built and maintained an environment and culture where positivity flourishes and personal growth is guaranteed. If you want to learn how to protect yourself and the people you love, Strive is the place to do it. If you want your kids to learn how to be respectful and physically capable while having a blast with their friends, Strive is the place to take them. Nothing but love and hard work at this place!

My husband and i and our kids train at Strive Academy. He encouraged me to come and try jiu jitsu. It has been the best decision ive made, jiu jitsu saved my life, shaped me into a better me. It is such a great environment, good vibes, and you become family here. Wonderful coaches who are the heart of strive. They offer jiu jitsu from ages 4 and up. One week free trial to start , you wont be dissapointed, there is so much to gain. Thank you strive Academy for being so awesome and always encouraging to me and my family. Im so blessed.

Dropped in for a session of open mat while traveling in the area. Everyone at the academy was welcoming, and got in some good rounds!

My family and I have trained at a number of Jiujitsu academies throughout our 15+ years in the Martial Arts. Some not so good, some good, and maybe 1 or 2 very good. But Strive, hands down “takes the cake.” I have never seen my son and 47yo husband so excited and eager to train Jiujitsu. The look in their eyes when they get home from training and the way the talk about their Coach, and the warm, friendly energy they get from their training partners every time they walk into the Academy. I believe Coach Manny, the great art of Jiujitsu and the Strive Family has positively influenced my son’s life in a great way and has also motivated my husband to lead a more active life which has resulted in him going from 215 lbs to 190 lbs! Do I recommend Strive you ask? HECK YEAH!!! At least give them a try and see for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed!
