HEALTH AND FITNESS IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE
Studying martial arts provides you with a physical challenge combined with a mental one – and over time, also helps you improve your daily habits such as good sleep, hydration, nutrition and stretching.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a unique form of martial arts that teaches students to leverage their body weight to use in the ring or against an attacker. A descendant of Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is both a sport and a martial art – and it’s fun to learn.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU TEACHES PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE TECHNIQUES
The thought of having to defend yourself against a bigger, stronger assailant might be scary, but Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will show you that size alone, isn’t everything.
By teaching students how to use leverage and your opponent’s energy against them, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches you that even a smaller person can quickly gain the upper hand.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU STUDENTS WALK WITH CONFIDENCE AND HUMILITY
There’s no feeling quite like the feeling of knowing that your body is strong, agile, and able to do what you need it to do.
Studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gives students the knowledge that they can leverage their mind and body’s strength to accomplish things they never thought possible.
In learning Jiu Jitsu, you will also learn how to handle losing which teaches you humility and how to learn from your mistakes.
Over time, the increase in both self-confidence and humility – carries over to work, home, and every area of your personal life, resulting in a richer community full of people who are focused on developing themselves and helping others.

For students with a competitive drive, Jiu Jitsu offers the perfect outlet — a way to test yourself, refine your skills, and measure your progress.
While not every student chooses to compete, those who do are guided every step of the way. Our coaches focus on helping students develop calm under pressure, clear goals, and the ability to give their best effort — lessons that carry into every part of life.
At La Quinta Jiu Jitsu, competition is never required — it’s simply another opportunity to grow, for those who desire it.

I cannot recommend Six Blades Jiu Jitsu La Quinta highly enough! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and professional. They have created an environment that my daughters LOVE, and that is beneficial for people of all skillsets - from elite athletes to bumbling beginners like me. I am so grateful to have Six Blades in our community, and my entire family is better because of them!

When I first came to the desert, I didn’t expect there to be any quality martial arts training. When I found six blades, I ate my own words. Between the staff and the other students it feels like a family setting. From the first instruction to actual sparring, I didn’t feel an ounce of pressure and I felt like everything was very well explained. I’ve had a little bit of training in the past, but Chris, Steve, and Jason were very attentive and very open to discussing concepts and movements I did not understand. Their understanding of the sport is equal to the highest level of competitors and I know that no matter what level I return out, I will always be both challenged and welcome as a member of the six glades family. I will definitely return if not for the training then just for the people of the atmosphere. Much love to them!

This is hands down the best place to learn and train Jiu Jitsu in the valley!
The head instructors are very thorough, give detailed instructions and will walk you through any issues you might have.
I used to train at another small academy and I always wondered if my professor was really as good as we thought, I feel this is a common question that every student must ask themselves but here at Six Blades there is no question.
The Hargett Brothers are the head instructors and they are world champion competitors, that are still actively competing now.
Six Blades teaches many lessons on an over all healthy active lifestyle, not just the fighting.
I am extremely grateful I found this gym.
