About Us

We are from Philly and spent two weeks in Boise with family. Our 7 year old daughter has been taking BJJ at home for 3 months and we didn’t want her to miss any skills while we’re gone. Professor BJ and his staff were amazing! The teachers were attentive, the skills were targeted/focused and my daughter really benefited from the amount of time the students got to roll with each other. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

Had a great time training tonight! Their new gym is really nice! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Being a 6 month beginner it's sometimes intimidating going to a new place but everyone here made me feel like home. I will be coming back again if I am ever in the area for work! Thanks everyone at The Base for a great experience!

Life changing. There is something that happens to a person when they learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or "BJJ". It's been described a multitude of different ways. I think it's best explained by any of the parents with children attending the kids' classes. Seriously, go down and ask a parent if they recommend BJJ. I think the answers will amaze most. I've heard parents speak of the way their kids have changed for the better. I see respectful kids with discipline and maturity. I see kids being comfortable with challenges. For adults, it's just as transformative. The adult classes are absent of ego, welcoming with questions - there are gonna be a ton of questions - and rich with instruction. I came for the skill, stayed for the community, and recommended BJJ to all walks of life. It's life changing. The hardest part is walking through the door. "Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years"

Great place to train! I was visiting Boise for a week and they treated me like I had been training there for years. Kyle is a great teacher along with everyone else I got a chance to roll and drill with. Great diversity in skill levels as well. Would highly recommend it.

I came here yesterday as somebody new to the area and new to jiu jitsu, and the instructor Ben was extremely welcoming. He allowed me to try a class while I get a feel for gyms in the area, and even told me all about the other gyms. He was extremely respectful of those gyms, sung their praises and explained what to expect of the vibes at each one. I believe if I choose to train here that I will be in very good hands.

I visited Boise while I was on a roadtrip about a week ago and dropped into their Monday 6pm Gi class. BJ's instruction was great and we had the opportunity for plenty of rounds when instruction ended. Everyone was very friendly and the technique in the gym was super solid. I would recommend coming here to train if you're in Boise!
