Checkmat Corona BJJ - Corona, California

This place is literally my second home! 😅 I have been training here for almost 2 years and is the best that could happened to me.
It is friendly for everybody for people that want to do it as a hobbie, personal defense, competitor, for kids. Jimmy is the best professor and always helping people improve their jiu jitsu. Come and try a 1 month free trial people normally sign after a week of coming 😅

Joining Jimmy Tat's Checkmat Jiu Jitsu gym has been one of the best decisions I've made. Jimmy is exceptionally knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of jiu jitsu that is evident in every class. His expertise not only covers the technical aspects of the sport but also the philosophy and discipline that come with it. He has a unique ability to break down complex moves into understandable steps, making learning both accessible and enjoyable.

What truly sets this gym apart, though, is the sense of community. From day one, I felt welcomed and part of a family. The camaraderie among the members is incredible. Everyone, regardless of their skill level, supports each other and fosters an environment of mutual respect and encouragement. This supportive atmosphere makes it a joy to train here, and it’s clear that Jimmy’s leadership plays a crucial role in cultivating this positive culture.

In summary, if you're looking for a place to train jiu jitsu where the instructor is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his students, and where you can be part of a warm, family-like community, Jimmy Tat's Checkmat gym is the perfect choice.

I joined Checkmat last August and I’m happy with that decision. From the first day there Jimmy has been welcoming and professional running his academy. Jimmy is a skilled Black Belt and also an active competitor. When selecting an Academy I wanted to train where I would be surrounded by active competitors and feel a part of a team. Since joining my skills and technique has improved. Overall one of the best places to train.

As a traveling nurse I've been to quite a few gyms which has allowed me to experience many good and sometimes bad experiences. The first time I visited Checkmate Corona, I felt welcomed, included, and treated like part of the gym family. Jimmy and everyone at Checkmate Corona were beyond welcoming and laid back. Jimmy is one of the most invested black belts that I have met, staying after class to roll with whoever needs it and offering his knowledge and input freely. This gym is honestly the only gym that I have felt "at home" at besides my home gym in AZ. If I lived in the IE permanently, I would make this my gym...highly highly recommend!

Checkmat Corona BJJ is a great place to learn jujitsu. The people there are welcoming, humble, and respectful. I haven't had any issues. Didn't know what to expect, having it being my first time learning this art but professor Jimmy is a awesome instructor and down to earth. I recommend that you check out this place for yourself. The pricing is more competitive/affordable than other BJJ places.

Checkmat is a great gym! Coach Jimmy and all of the other instructors are awesome. Our son has been going here for years and he/we love it. They take pride in taking great care of the facility, especially since COVID, they do a great job keeping the facility clean and following all precautions. Most importantly, they treat everyone like family, which is the kind of environment I want my son to be a part of.

I have been attending the gym for over 6 months now and I have to say I am so thankful I chose Checkmat Corona as my BJJ gym. Professor Jimmy is an outstanding teacher that really cares about his students. The atmosphere is friendly but competitive which is a difficult thing to combine. I recommend this gym to anyone wanting to try out BJJ. Iron sharpens iron.

Most people come for some high level BJJ or a great workout. You will get that and so much more. Great Jiu Jitsu, knowledgeable and super friendly staff along with some great training partners. I have trained at a few different places and can't imagine going anywhere else. My family and I were welcomed from day 1 and most members have continued that friendliness and professionalism which starts with Professor Jimmy and his wife Professor Cindy. Come by, try a class and find out.
