No Coast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Urbandale, Iowa

No Coast gym is hands down the best gym to train bjj in Des Moines. Both my husband and I train at this gym for several months and we love it! No Coast is the only place you can train bjj almost everyday, perfect for people like us who've made bjj part of our life.

This is a fantastic gym! I dropped in for classes while traveling for work and I would absolutely be a member if I lived in the area. Jared Bahr and Cliff Harris are great professors. They have really built a great team family atmosphere that is extremely welcoming to new members.

This school has been highly involved in competitions and I'm very proud to know these people! It's always an honor to train with the instructors here. Very helpful on any all questions one has during technique. Not to mention they make everybody feel welcome!

After 2 months I can now say, Professors Jared and Cliff are teeming with knowledge and information about their sport. They are more than willing to answer questions, even encouraging the asking most of the time. Joining No Coast BJJ has been one of the best decisions that I've made in a long time.

From the first time I contacted No Coast BJJ to making me feel very welcome and taken care of during my first class, I realized No Coast is the place to learn jiu-jitsu. Every person I met asked me my name and made me feel respected even as a complete beginner. I highly recommend this place for anyone interested!

I was very impressed with the instructors at No Coast during the kids jiujitsu class. They are great at attention to detail but also great at knowing when the kids just need to roll for a while and figure things out themselves.

My kids are finishing their first week at No Coast BJJ and I can't say enough good things about it! Cliff Harris does an awesome job with the kids. I'm honestly surprised they have enjoyed it as much as they have so far. I also finished my first week in the Essentials class and instructors, staff and other classmates were all very welcoming, patient and eager to help out.

My son wanted to take Jiu Jitsu classes after my older nephew began them in another city. No Coast was recommended by another parent. He said the kids classes were organized and fun. Recently they started the Women's Only class, which I am taking with my older daughter. We are having fun, working out, and learning something new.

I joined the Women's Class on Sundays about 5 weeks ago as a complete beginner and now I'm addicted. Angela and Tara make learning the techniques super fun and create a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Learning BJJ from these passionate ladies is more like learning awesome skills while coincidentally working out at the same time.
