Welcome to Second Grip

Jiu Jitsu

At Second Grip Jiu Jitsu, we believe the mat is a place where everyone belongs. Whether you’re a parent looking to build your 3-year-old’s confidence or an adult reclaiming your fitness and focus, our Carlsbad academy offers a safe, welcoming space to become your very best self.

We are more than just a martial arts school; we are a family. Transitioning from our roots as Evo BJJ, our new name—Second Grip Jiu Jitsu—reflects our evolving philosophy: in Jiu Jitsu and in life, the first attempt isn’t always the one that sticks. The 'Second Grip' represents our commitment to persistence—the moment we adjust, adapt, and refuse to give up. Here, the goal isn’t just to master a technique—it’s to develop the discipline and patience that improve your life long after you leave the gym. From age 3 to 83, we invite you to join a community dedicated to growth, friendship, and the power of moving forward.
