Pocatello Jiu Jitsu

About Our School

Our goal at Pocatello Jiu Jitsu is to help every student discover their own unique path in Jiu Jitsu. Led by owners Catalina and Michael Mojarro, we encourage instructors to teach with their own creativity and strengths. Each coach pushes students to be their very best and to grow 1% every day. We want students to be curious, fluid, and open-minded. Take in the lessons and find how it helps you. Away from the training itself, we make sure our culture is amongst the best. This includes becoming a We Defy affiliate, our Adopt a Cop program, and our yearly family BBQs! Come join our family and see what Pocatello Jiu Jitsu can do for you!

History

The Mojarro family first started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2014 in California . Through eight years, the family grew together as Catalina Mojarro became a high-level competitor, becoming a multi-time Worlds Medalist through her progression in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In 2022 she and her husband, Michael, took over Pocatello Jiu Jitsu, and we’ve been growing ever since. The school’s attitude quickly shifted to a focus on family-friendly activities. We have “broken down the walls” and have created an environment for the entire community. Now, we strive to help each individual student reach their goals and become the best version of themselves on and off the mat.

Kids Jiu Jitsu (ages 7-12)

At Pocatello Jiu Jitsu, our Kids Jiu Jitsu Program goes beyond just learning how to grapple. While students will build real martial arts skills and self-defense techniques, our core focus is on developing character, discipline, and leadership.

Through structured training, students gain confidence, focus, respect, and lifelong habits of physical fitness all while having fun and staying engaged.

Martial arts isn’t about fighting, it’s about growing stronger inside and out.
