The place is emasculate . Clean calm and Coach Kyle is very good with students. His adjustments and ability to explain BJJ small techniques even in big opponents is my favorite

Came here while vacationing and it was a great experience. Very welcoming and open to letting me attend a session while visiting. Kyle was very responsive prior to my visit and Cash was a patient and detailed instructor. Highly recommend attending if you’re a local or just visiting Destin and looking to get a little bit of mat time.

Dropped in for some training while on vacation. The instructors were professional and accommodating, the gym was clean, and the owner's communication was outstanding! I'll be back the next time I'm in the area.

Great academy and great instruction. I dropped into 3 classes while visiting on a family vacation. Plenty of training opportunities throughout the week. Outstanding communication from Coach Kyle, the owner. Already looking forward to the next opportunity to train in Miramar Beach.

Give this place a shot! I was in town on vacation for the weekend and decided to stop by for a Saturday open matt (which was free). I walked in without contacting the gym first, and everyone was super welcoming and friendly. There were people of all skill levels in the room, and I got some great training in. Couldn't ask for more.

Editing my review 10 months in. I'm still only doing part-time recreational BJJ due to my schedule, lack of fitness, and age; Yet it has absolutely changed my life. I've gained muscle definition where I didn't know I had muscles. I've gained problem-solving skills when I didn't even know there was a problem. I've gained diplomacy, thinking, and breathing techniques: when I was sure there were none to be used. I've cast out unnessecary fears and feelings I didn't recognize. I've started to inspire my peers and be the beacon of hope that they need. Found ways to spread peace and understanding where (at least in my industry) exists only chaos. My initial goal of getting really good at JiuJitsu and beating up Mark Zuckerberg has opened doors into realms of insight, happiness, and love that he may never reach; and that's way more of a win for me than money can buy. All of the other gyms can teach you techniques all day long, but Coastal JiuJitsu is where I found that having really all around amazing people around you regularly testing you can teach you to be happy and fulfilled in not only BJJ and Martial Arts, but all of life.

Man this place was awesome. I wrestled back in my younger years and was looking to scratch that itch and this did it. Kyle runs an amazing gym and I would definitely recommend.

Q & A

Am I Athletic Enough?

No matter your size or ability, our instructors will help you learn how to play the game of jiu jitsu with other jiu jitsu players.

Will I Get Hurt?

Our instructors keep a safe and clean training program designed to keep you on the mat and injury-free.

Gi or noGi?

Gi season is from October to March, No-Gi season is from April to September. 

what is the class structure?

In Fundamentals, we stick to a theme or position for several months. During that time, we learn the objectives of the theme or position. No warm-up. We start the class with drills for the first 10 to 15 minutes. These drills are the foundation of the class. We then move on to a technique that adds to the previous drill. We end the class with live focus sparring, where you get to refine your pitfalls of the technique and avoid those failures during open mat.  

What if I have never trained before?

90% of our students have no prior martial arts training.

What if I am out of shape?

The best way to get into shape is to find something you enjoy doing and do it consistently!

I feel like I am able to progress my jiu jitsu game better than I have in years.
