One of the best aspects of training is all of the new connections you will make. Time on the mats brings people closer together and the vibe at Studio 540 is unparalleled. We are focused on improving together and keeping a great atmosphere.

Regularly facing challenges on the mat will make everything in your life seem easier. Jiu jitsu is sometimes thought of as a moving meditation. You will be immersed completely in the moment when defending yourself and applying technique.

"Studio 540 has been my home gym for the last 5 or so years. It is the nicest gym I've ever been a part of. It's no wonder they call it the "Ritz of Jits." The vibe is great, and everyone is mellow. It doesn't matter what affiliation you train under. Everybody is always welcome."

"This is a hidden gem in Solana Beach. I’ve been coming here for about 3 years and this academy has consistently been an amazing facility to train at. The level of instruction is world-class and the community is impeccable; I’ve formed friendships with some of the kindest, conscientious people a person could meet."

"Our sons (ages 7 and 5) love this place and so do we! Excellent instruction with the best student/teacher ratios. We visited other studios from Encinitas down to Del Mar, and Studio 540 in Solana Beach is our favorite by far! Highly recommend!"
