This is a great place to train! Whether you're just learning about jiu jitsu, you've had some sort of martial arts training, or have trained for years, this academy is welcoming to all! Professor Jeremy is patient with all students and makes sure you not only understand the how, but also the why. My wife began training a few months ago and even she loves it!

I began taking classes here at Espiritu almost a year ago and it's been the best experience ever. Since day 1, everyone I've met here has been very patient, helpful, and always welcoming to all my questions. This group of people have not only taught me jiu jitsu skills but also confidence, perseverance, and discipline overall. Being exposed to so many different types of people of all different skill levels here has helped me feel more comfortable with the way I carry myself in the world. I really value how Professor Jeremy takes the time to relate various lessons to self defense scenarios or show small details that would make something more effective for a smaller person against a larger person. 100% would recommend anyone I know to give this place a try.

Professor Jeremy and all of the coaches are super friendly. I was admittedly very nervous when I was first starting to attend classes, everyone here makes you feel incredibly welcome. The classes have very good mix of technicality and self defense. The most striking thing to me is how Professor Jeremy ties in movements and how they are used in Jui Jitsu and how they may be used for self defense. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a structured workout or the self defense aspect!

I love this place. Professor Jeremy makes learning fun, exciting and uses humor to lighten up things. I never feel pressured or unsafe in class. You can freely ask questions and your teammates are always willing to help. There’s a diverse training schedule with kids, teens, and adults. This makes for a family experience. I’m in my 40’s and training and I had some reservations when I started. Professor quickly dispelled all those fears. When I stopped showing up to class due to changes in my career Professor Jeremy reached out to me to see why I haven’t been coming to class. I had already paid for a yearly membership and when he checked up on me I ran down to him why I haven’t been coming. But I promised him I’d be back and I’d be making some changes in my career to get back. If you’re serious about learning and scared to make the leap this is your sign and the place to do it at. He also offers private lessons and is totally approachable. I recommend this place to everyone.

Awesome place to train. Professor Jeremy is the best at teaching and Coach Carlos leads the lunch classes. The people who train are very cool and always help each other learn. I am fat and lazy and this team has helped me get back on the warriors path.

Was looking for BJJ place a long time and was extremely lucky to have found this gem in Oxnard. Instructors push you to be your best. Tough fighters, yet compassionate on and off the mat. Jeremy is passionate about the art; demanding excellence in the smallest details.

What a great place to learn and workout!At first I thought Espíritu was just a place to try something new and with it being the closest school to me it was convenient. It didn't take long for me to realize how much more it really is. Not only are professor Jeremy and his team of coches professional and friendly, but they are honest when it comes helping you reach your personal goals. Looking to be a BJJ competitor? Coaches will help you focus and prepWant to get in shape by trying something new and fun? What better way than having great strength and cardio workouts with people you will come to trust and friends?!World class, honest training that will have you wondering why you didn't start sooner.

This is the best place to learn real jiu jitsu in an environment filled with respectful and helpful peers. The culture of respect is created by Professor Jeremy, his wife Meyann, and all of the instructors at the academy- all of whom happen to be genuinely great people. Every instructional step is well-articulated and broken down so that you will notice improvement with every drill. I highly recommend you try the trial class!

I started training at Espiritu Jiu Jitsu and Jiu Jitsu in general for the first time last year in 2021 at the ripe old age of 35 yrs old; as a full -time farther/husband , full-time student and full-time employee I have plenty of excuses not to train. Professor, Jeremy has created a easy to learn curriculum combine with a welcoming environment for people of all ages and experience interested in Jiu Jitsu. I recommended anyone who is interested in joining a gym that they give Espiritu Jiu Jitsu a try.
