I dropped in during a visit to Albuquerque and had a great time drilling and rolling for 2.5 hours. Ben and team have a great approach mixing traditional instruction with an ecological approach. I would highly recommend Impact to anyone visiting Albuquerque.

A fantastic family gym. I attended the Open Mat, and enjoyed it very much. The place was very clean, well organized and the people were very friendly.

So great! Thankful for the free first class and will definitely return. There are wonderful personable teachers and skills are on point!

I took classes here for about a month and then ended up moving to Florida for a year, I just got back and am now located in Rio Rancho but could not find a gym I love as much as impact.

I took classes here for about a month and then ended up moving to Florida for a year, I just got back and am now located in Rio Rancho but could not find a gym I love as much as impact. The techniques are thoroughly explained and feel applicable to real scenarios. These instructors teach practical applicability, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Something else to note is that, while all of the gyms I tried were lovely, this is the only gym that I didn’t feel singled out in by being a woman. The other gyms I went to seemed to have specific subtle rules regarding female members, and while I know their aim is to “cater” to women, it still felt odd to be singled out that way. At impact though, I don’t feel like a woman in a jiu jitsu class, I feel like a person learning jiu jitsu. Good people, good jiu jitsu. Thank you! Less

Excellent gym and community, very helpful to newbies and great vibes all around. Highly recommend!

This place is great! It can sometimes be hard as a woman to find a place to train. I started at Impact about a year ago, first time training in bjj. I found it immediately welcoming and all of the instructors open to any of my questions or concerns. The first Friday women’s class is the cherry on top of my training every month. The crew is amazing and I’m so happy I found them.

My two girls starting doing classes here a few weeks ago. They love them, but I’m so excited for the array of skills they are learning as a result of these classes. They are learning about respect, discipline, perseverance, and more plus they have fun while doing it.

Impact Jiu Jitsu is awesome. My son started this summer and is still loving it! We ❤️ Impact Jiu Jitsu

My boy is 12 and in the adult program. He was nervous about starting Jiu Jitsu but the coaching team, staff and overall community have made him feel right at home! He has become friends with everyone on the mat and it has given him such a confidence boost in all other aspects of his life! Impact really is good people good Jiu Jitsu.

We LOVE our Impact family!

We LOVE our Impact family! I originally started my son just before his 4th birthday and now both of my sons have been working their way through the minis class, plus my husband attends classes and open mat whenever we can fit it in. I can't say enough kind words about the Impact team - they put so much thought and intention behind coaching even their littlest members. It was one of the few gyms that even offered classes starting at such a young (and challenging!) age. From first contact to a year+ in, I've always felt like we're valued members of a gym that takes safety, learning, and building community seriously - and fun is never lost in the process. Open mat is fun to attend even if you're just the pregnant lady/mom on the sidelines - coaches and competitors alike are there to work hard, build their skills, and have a good time with respect and integrity. I find the lessons they're helping my littles learn to be invaluable, and the coaches lead by example as the kindest, most helpful, patient, GOOD people. I might say "great" or "exceptional" or "extraordinary" but for simplicity's sake - I couldn't agree more: Good people. Good jui jitsu. Less

Dropped in from Dfw and had a great time! Very clean professional and positive environment! Thank you Impact!

Must love wrestling to get the full benefits of BJJ. Should have a fundamental class for non practitioners. Members are a bit cliche make it not to inviting for newbies.

A wonderful place to train! If I lived in ABQ, I would have joined. Everyone was friendly and the training is good quality. Hope to come back next time I’m in town!

Such a wonderful place to train! Very high skill level, and felt like family right off the bat! <3

Loved my visit here! The students are super friendly and the instructors are both welcoming and knowledgeable. Whether you live in Albuquerque or are just passing through, I highly recommend training at Impact!

Most professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming people I’ve ever met. The owners are amazing humans, the coaches are amazing, and the team…. also… incredible. Couldn’t be happier with my time at Impact. 🙏🏼

Been training here for my entire 2 year jiu-jitsu tenure after trying out just about every other gym in town when I first started and wouldn't change it for the world.

Very welcoming community and we have a great curriculum for the day 1 trial class guy all the way to the seasoned black belt world champ. Large enough of a gym to have multiple looks at different body types and styles, but small enough that you can pull the professor to the side and ask specific details to issues you may be having. Professor Ben and Kaethe are always trying to innovate and optimize both teaching style and gym amenities and health practices Less

Friendly environment and good instructors. Happy to be a part of this community.

As a new person to Jiu Jitsu, I was immediately sold on Impact from my class. The coaching staff provides expert and meaningful feedback during each class. The facilities are kept extremely clean and the gym environment is the friendliest I’ve ever encountered. Would highly recommend Impact to anyone of any level.

The environment that has been created at Impact is unmatched. Coaches to students are incredibly welcoming, the facilities are clean with a modern look, and the training is logical and practical. Classes tend to have a task based structure, which I think is ideal to truly learn the art. The white belts here show the effectiveness, as they tend to have more skill than blue belts at most other gyms... More

Amazing gym with great people. Culture is key to having a great training experience and the culture here is truly great. It pushes you but no to far. Can't train if your hurt but need to struggle to grow. Hard balance and Ben does a great job with the curriculum and environment. Come in and see why Jiu Jitsu will change your life.

I am a brown belt visiting from out of town and dropped in for a class. The gym was clean and the people very friendly, the instruction was balanced between being technical and letting you work on the positions. I had great rolls with multiple black belts and a brown belt. Between the skill level and the overall attitude of the gym it was an excellent experience.

The best squad

Good people and good Jiu Jitsu!

Good people and good Jiu Jitsu. This place rocks. There is so much more than just self defense. Come try it out and you’ll be hooked.

I’ve been fortunate enough to find a wonderful community here at Impact JJ.

I’ve been fortunate enough to find a wonderful community here at Impact JJ. The combination of great instruction, teaching philosophy, approach to jiu jitsu, and an encouraging environment is a recipe for wanting to be on the mats. Whether a beginner or someone who’s been training for many years, I’ve seen everyone find value from the various classes I’ve attended. Each coach I’ve trained with has something unique they bring with their own style, while also offering the core principles, so you get to learn a concept (or technique) with a slightly different flavor that you can try out for your own game. My kids have also trained here, and the kids classes are well run, safe, encouraging, and most of all, fun! I’m coming back after a few years off of training, and couldn’t be more stoked to be here at Impact JJ. Come train! Less

Recently took my first class and it was an amazing experience. Everyone was extremely welcoming. Excited to continue my Jiu Jitsu journey here!

Impact is such a wonderful place to train and develop skills. From amazing instructors to fantastic equipment…this is truly a welcoming environment for anyone’s jiu jitsu journey. Impact!!

The couches are great with the kids! They are patient and so inclusive to new kiddos. The way they have interacted with my son has been so amazing, he has warmed up to the lessons and is always encouraged to keep going, he has grown to love jiu jitsu so much!

Our daughter joined the minis class as soon as they started offering them to 3-year-olds. She's now 5 and I've noticed a huge change in her confidence level overall, and her ability to take on new challenges.

My son has been at Impact for right at a year. He absolutely loves learning jiu jitsu here. The coaches encourage each student to be their best, challenge themselves, and to grow not only skills, but in character as well. We are so grateful to have such a positive place to bring our son. This community is the best!!

It’s like a family , everyone takes care of each other .

I travel with Gi to jiu jitsu schools all over the US. Impact jiu Jitsu and founder Ben Henning provide a professional, clean & safe environment to train. His classmates all make you feel welcome as soon as you enter the academy. Instruction (Gi 2) is technical and most importantly functional. I’m from out of state but I will frequent this school whenever I’m in town.

Plan and simple; Good People, Good Jiu Jitsu. Ben and his team are by far the most welcoming people I have met within the jiu jitsu community and that's why I made Impact my home academy.

Update: I have now been going to impact for about a year and it continues to be an awesome place to train and a wonderful community of people.

The class schedule is very accommodating and the instruction is informative and a ton of fun. If you are new like me or a seasoned practitioner Impact has something to offer. Their slogan really rings true good people good Ju Jitsu. Less

Moving to Albuquerque I was concerned I would not be able to find a gym like the one I came from. However, Impact Albuquerque is exactly what I was looking for. The professor has really built a well-rounded and inviting community. Whether looking to compete or just understand what jiujitsu is all about, this gym has what you need.

Good People Good Jiu-Jitsu. The motto says it all. I’ve been fortunate to train at dozens of gyms over the last 15 years and Impact is as good as it gets.

I first tried out Impact while I was looking at places to live in Albuquerque and never looked back. Coach Ben makes an effort to get better as an instructor and a practitioner. The kids coaches are also always doing their best to give proper instruction to kids and figure out ways to make the kids classes something that the youth can look forward to. Really happy to be a part of this gym and thankful for all the folks that come through those doors whether they be mat rats or people passing by. Less

Awesome training! The facilities are beautiful and some really tough yet friendly rounds. Just be aware of the altitude... It was a great workout! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the ABQ area.

I’m always a little nervous when my kids try new things. But the staff at Impact welcomed my son as though they were old friends. They were kind and attentive for his first few weeks and continue to be wonderful and supportive. I also love Impact because they focus on holistic exercise—they talk about values and about being a good human being at every session. We love it!

We really lucked out when we found this school. Both me and my daughter take classes here and we have both had a lot of growth. Especially my daughter.

Great atmosphere very welcoming. Coaches are so patient and kind to their new students

Impact provides a great learning environment, where both kids and adults can learn the skills and discipline of Jiu-jitsu. They truly are "Good People. Good Jiu-jitsu."

Party time, excellent

Impact is a great place for our boys. The instructors are well trained, kind, and very good at what they do.

Very clean interior, staff who pay attention, and a very wholesome vibe/ family owned business. Ben Henning is the GOAT.

As you progress, more advanced techniques and strategies are introduced, ensuring a continuous learning experience. The emphasis on proper form, technique, and self-defense is evident in every class, fostering discipline, confidence, and physical fitness. Not to mention the gym is so clean it looks like a coffee shop! Less

While they learned valuable lessons and technique, they never felt lile part of a team. Once we moved back to Albuquerque, I finally convinced them to give jiu jitsu another try. We found Impact by luck and loved it the minute we took the first class. The kids were thrilled to start back up. They said the caoches were great and loved the immediate welcoming feel to the school. Since we started, the classes have adjusted to include both jiu jitsu and life skills for every kiddo. I loved the vibe so much, I started with my oldest. Now we get to bond, learn new skills, and be a part of a true team. Impact is highly recommended for anyone who has been wanting to give jiu jitsu a try. Less

We absolutely love Impact. The time and effort they put in with our children is phenomenal. The way they create such a comfortable atmosphere and almost a family with their gym for kids to adults is truly incredible. It’s easily one of the best in the city.

Super clean studio. Awesome instruction.

Great place , great structure for children to learn and build confidence!

I have stopped in a few times for their open mats/free trial classes and enjoyed all my encounters. The main thing that stood out to me was how clean everything was and if you are familiar with grappling sports, this is HUGE. I plan on doing on/off monthly memberships with them in the future to get in some extra work from their morning classes. Awesome place!

The instruction here is great, the schedule is great, the space is great; but the most important thing is the people. This gym has a great community that makes learning Jiu Jitsu an absolute blast. It is a place where you will be welcomed as you are, and encouraged to push yourself so that you can grow. The kids program is also excellent if you're looking for a fun, character-building activity!

Tried a couple other gyms before landing here. Awesome coaches. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Nice clean gym. Nothing but great experiences here. Good people, good jiu jitsu.

Good vibes very good instructors clean place friendly people if you want to start a new Disciplining in your life this is it come check the gym out

If you like having a good time, learn some awesome jits this is the place :) I'm partial the crew because I train with them. But, I train with them because I can get hard rolls, be submitted, train for tourneys if needed, or I can have a laid back time and flow roll, have technical discussions and be around a group of people that are positive and love life :) -Eric

Great people. Great environment. Ben, the owner, is a gifted teacher, and that is coming from a 25 year veteran teacher. Highly recommended.

I recommend this gym to people of all skill levels. The instruction is excellent and you can take it to whatever level you want to. Ben and Kaethe create a family friendly environment that most gyms lack. I Love Impact Albuquerque!!

What an amazing gym!! This gym is for anyone who is into Jiu Jitsu, from a new beginner to advanced level people. The owners are great and create a family atmosphere for all its members, everyone here becomes friends without the drama of many gyms I’ve rolled in.

What a great place to learn the fundamentals of jujitsu! These guys have it covered from youth classes to adult! I would highly recommend for anyone interested!

Love the family friendly atmosphere! At Impact ABQ, Jitz is more than a workout, it attends to holistic wellness on many levels. Love the coaching staff!

Impact ABQ is the best place to do Jiu jitsu. Whether it’s visiting, dropping in for a class periodically, or signing up as a new member. Ben and Kaethe’s commitment to community and quality is a special thing. Classes are taught in a structured way, from a clear systematic curriculum, by an excellent coach. The result is a lot of talented grapplers and very good people.

These guys are awesome!

Great coaches. Great people. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

I recently visited Albuquerque and was looking for a jiu jitsu gym to train for the week. I sent a message to the folks at Impact Jiu Jitsu and they welcomed me (blue belt) and my wife (white belt) to join their practices. We joined the afternoon classes for both gi and no gi training. First impression was great with the clean mats, friendly instructors and private changing rooms. We started with warm ups and takedown drills, then moved to knee-on-belly to half guard series. Each class finished with situational rolls from the positions we practiced in class. Impact's motto is "Good people. Good jiu jitsu." I can attest to both. It was tons of fun to explore new details in familiar positions including tough rolls with Impact students. I also learned to respect the effect of ABQ's mile-high altitude. Even though I spent the week in Albuquerque eating pizza, fry bread, hot chicken sandwiches and other delicious food, I came back from the trip lighter and better conditioned than when I left. If you're looking for a place in ABQ to train jiu jitsu, I recommend Impact. Less

The company has a strong and nurturing teachers for three to five year old class. My daughter is learning to focus and become more disciplined in her jitsu skills.I love the foundation they’re laying down for children.

Like it says on the wall. Good people. Good jiu jitsu! Coaches are responsive and helpful. Teammates are informative and all around great people. So glad I started training here!

Ideal place to practice and develop Jiu Jitsu skills. Great community with the highest level of quality instruction. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore and excel in their martial art!

Fantastic place. The coaches are knowledgeable for those with experience and encouraging to the beginners. Also great for kids. They do a great job of fostering community, too.

Very friendly and fun place to learn BJJ at any age. The owners Ben and Kaeta have kids of their own and are very good with kids as well as adults. The instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly - and to work with anyone at any evel.

Awesome gym! Great people! Highly recommend!

We love these guys! Both of our boys are attending classes here and they enjoy the coaches, classes and team mates. Very positive and healthy environment!

We were looking for a place for our son to learn a sport, have fun, build some community - Impact fits the bill. The facility is clean and no frills, the staff is kind, the coaches are energetic and motivated. We're super happy to send our little guy here!

Elite instruction, a beautiful training facility, and a classy and welcoming social environment. Regardless of your experience level or lack of experience, Impact Jiu Jitsu is a great place to exercise, have fun, meet new people, and learn invaluable jiu jitsu skills. I highly recommend.

Fantastic gym. Great people. Brilliant instruction. Cannot say enough good things about this place.

Great place to learn BJJ. Coaches, Staff and Community are awesome, incredibly supportive and always helpful during your Jiu Jitsu journey.

I've only ever written a handful of reviews, but I wanted to share my outstanding experience at Impact Jiu Jitsu. I dropped in for 2 weeks while traveling, and felt welcomed by Ben and the rest of the team. The school really lives up to their motto: "Good People, Good Jiu-Jitsu." Instruction is clear and structured, with lots of situational rolling baked in. I highly recommend taking a private... More

I'm definitely going back next time I'm in ABQ. Less

I walked into Impact over 3 years ago, with zero experience or understanding of BJJ, and immediately loved it. The people are welcoming and friendly and the jiujitsu inspires confidence and self discipline. The ethos at Impact is "good people good jiujitsu" and it really sums up what it's like to be a member at the gym. My daughter is finally old enough to start kids classes, and she loves it! ... More

I have been training at Impact Jiu Jitsu for nearly a year and the effect it has had on my physical and mental health has been profound. No matter what your motivations are for training, whether it's self-defense, competition, fitness, etc., Impact offers a variety of comprehensive classes that are sure to meet your needs. The coaches are excellent, and the culture of the gym overall is supportive, respectful, and full of camaraderie. I signed up my daughter as soon as Impact began offering classes for 3-4 year-olds, and she loves it. Ben and Kaethe's passion for this gym and its members shows through, and makes everyone feel like they're part of a family. Less

Excellent membership fees and clean. We tried a few other BJJ gyms in town and Impact is the best value and they keep the mats clean. I do have some complaints about the kids program, not enough structure/discipline or coaches on the mats.

My son has been at Impact for over 1.5 years now and he loves it! We love that they work on being a good person as well as jiu-jitsu skills. The kids earn merit stripes and skill stripes and they are always encouraged to be positive members of their community.

One of the most welcoming places ever with amazing coaches who are so unbelievably supportive and understanding and patient with you. Thank you

Staff is friendly The coaches are great with the children .

We absolutely love Impact! We have our daughter in the program and it’s the high light of our week! The coaches are sooo patient and the owners are the sweetest!

This place is the best. I literally cannot conceive of one single way in which it could be better. It is truly like a home away from home. Such a wonderful place for my 8-year-old daughter, with wonderful instructors, teammates, owners, staff, facilities, pricing, everything! Thank you, Impact, for the positive Impact (pun intended lol) you have had in mine and my daughters life. 🤗

Impact Jiu-jitsu has been a positive experience for my 10 year old daughter! The coaches are patient, kind and great with the kids! My daughter loves her coaches and peers! She receives lots of attention from her coaches , which helps her achieve the different drills and skills that they are teaching. She loves Impact!

Ben and his crew welcomed me to join their Drill For Skills class on a Wednesday morning at 5:30 as a white belt with only 2 and a half months experience from out of state. Rafael, Tim and the rest of the team treated me like family. Everyone showed me a skill or offered a tip to improve my BJJ journey. The team works hard! They challenge each other. They make each other better. You will sweat,... More

Rafael, Tim and the rest of the team treated me like family. Everyone showed me a skill or offered a tip to improve my BJJ journey. The team works hard! They challenge each other. They make each other better. You will sweat, ache and be pushed to your limits...and when the class is over you will be glad you did. The facility is clean, neat and well designed. As I was leaving I saw one of the students began to sweep. It's clear they take pride in their place. Stop by for a class or sign up for a membership. It'll be worth it. 1-2-3 IMPACT! Clarence Less

Great gym for beginners, experts, kids, and adults in a convenient, central location. Wide range of availability: early, mid-day, and evening classes available. Coaches Michelle, Kyle, Josh, and The Ryans are incredible. Professor Ben is spectacular. Instruction is challenging yet age appropriate. Complex moves are broken down and subdivided, drilled out in pieces, and reassembled. I'm amazed at... More
