1,000+ Beginners Graduated

Miramar is its own San Diego neighborhood, mostly industrial, anchored by MCAS Miramar and the Marine community that lives, works, and trains in the area. Legion American Jiu-Jitsu sits at 7550 Miramar Road, on the corridor that runs past Miramar College, MCAS Miramar, Miramar National Cemetery, and the long line of Miramar Road businesses.

We chose this stretch on purpose: from almost any direction in San Diego, you can be on our mat in about 15 minutes. Miramar is the geographic center of a city that otherwise sprawls across canyons. Walk in, train, drive home, one trip.

What Miramar Members Are Saying

★★★★★

"Probably the best jiu jitsu for kids in San Diego. I have had my kid for three years. The lead instructors actually know childhood education and design classes around that. Mike is the lead and I have not seen that type of education training applied to this level of martial arts. Good form."

Frequently Asked

Miramar Jiu-Jitsu FAQs

Is Legion walkable from other Miramar Road businesses?
From much of the 7500 block of Miramar Road, yes. We are at 7550 Miramar Road, Ste 330, on the north side of the street. Many members who work on Miramar Road walk over for class on lunch or after work.
Do you offer military discounts for MCAS Miramar service members?
Ask us when you come in. We have active duty, reserve, and retired military members training with us and we work with the realities of the schedule, including membership pauses during deployment. Bring your CAC when you come by.
What should I expect on my first class?
Arrive 15 minutes early. We will give you a loaner gi, a short orientation, and then you join the class. You will warm up, learn a technique, drill it with a matched partner, and watch (or opt into) live rolling at the end. You will leave knowing exactly what jiu-jitsu feels like and whether you want to come back.
