The Base Jiu Jitsu Pocatello

We are fairly new to Jiu Jitsu and Paul does an excellent job of breaking down a very complex sport. His passion is very evident and he treats everyone with equal respect. As a woman it can be very intimidating but Paul is an experienced teacher and his wife Brandi is the perfect bonus every gym needs. Both Paul and Brandi are humble enough to not smash you, which makes them great rolling partners and even better teachers.nnWe have 5 children, 4 of whom train with Paul. They fell in love with Paul and his way of teaching before they fell in love with Jiu Jitsu. They love learning from him and all the kids know that he cares about that them. My boys are smaller for their age and Paul has been a great role model for them, size isn't everything, which is obvious after watching Paul roll.nnMy daughter is a pretty timid person and Jiu Jitsu has been a great place for her to learn that she can be confident and stand behind what she has to say. I'm grateful for the support and guidance that Paul has given to my children, an added bonus The Base provides. Jiu Jitsu isn't just a sport for Paul it's a way of life.nnMale or female, young or old the base is the best place to start or continue your Jiu Jitsu training.

Best gym around for BJJ. both my kids, and fiancé are in classes. Paul is a great instructor.

Its the best gym ive ever been to. The facility is probably the cleanest in Idaho. The people are all good. I would recommend to a family member.

My husband and I and our 3 kids traveled through and had the privilege of training with Paul at The Base Jiu Jitsu in Pocatello. I came thinking we'd get a good workout and then go about our weekend business, but the wisdom and the mindset shift I gained after rolling and talking with Paul in that short time was nothing short of amazing. He helped me overcome some anxiety and technical issues I was having in the sport and since returning, I have been able to actually implement those tools. If our family lived in the area, we'd absolutely make this jiu jitsu school our home. Not only was Paul's perspective so encouraging to myself and my daughters, but the facility is top notch and uber clean. I am convinced my afternoon at the The Base Pocatello will remain a pivotal time for me in my jiu-jitsu journey, and I look forward to coming back to visit. Thanks for having us!

Super awesome place, extremely clean, amazing people and professor Paul had great communication skills while teaching and made sure I had a complete deep understanding of everything he taught me! :)
