This is a fantastic learning community with amazing instructors and an incredible professor. There is a great group of students of various levels that are mindful of your comfort as well. It is a great setup and they give you a bunch of floor time on the mat to roll after direct instruction. You cannot find a better studio, community, and schedule than this. So happy to be on my jiu jitsu journey here!

This place has no regard for the safety of kids. My son is a beginner at this program and they put…read morehim with a boy in an advanced group. This boy then proceeded to slam my son dome down with so much force he hit the back of his head against the floor mat. The advanced boy then put my son in a choke hold, My son was terrified and began to cry while he was being choked. As a concerned parent I stepped in to speak with the teacher that was supervising them and tell him to stop this immediately, my son is a beginner and he shouldn't have been placed with someone as advanced as the other little boy. When I asked him why would they put a beginner student with an advanced student, the teacher replied with, "this is how they learn." The anger I felt at that moment was so strong, how can a child be expected to learn such advanced fighting maneuvers when he is getting knocked down at every try? The answer to me seems like they wanted them to fight because my son is tall for his age, they were using this as mini fight club due to my sons size instead of a teaching moment. My son is only 5 and just starting this program. He should have never been put to "fight" with a child that has been training in this for months. The blatant disregard by the teachers to seeing my son terrified and crying is infuriating. It truly shows that they do not care for the safety of our kids. I quickly went to my son and the other boy and told him to let my son go, I grabbed my son and went home. I will not be bringing my son here again, they do not care about kids safety and will stand there doing nothing while your child cries and is full of fear.

Looking for a place to host your kid's birthday party? LOOK NO FURTHER. What really sets this place apart from other local BJJ gyms is the community culture. They are welcoming, clean, safe and it's full of people who genuinely care about each other. The coaches break down technique and also take the time to teach that ONE child who is struggling, while everyone else is doing their warm ups. That is TRUE dedication. My kid has grown so much in confidence and focus since joining. This isn't just any kind of gym.... it's FAMILY, and a place where you actually look forward to showing up.

Upon entering the CTC's parking lot, I immediately observed that it has an ample, well lit parking lot that can accommodate numerous students and customers. After entering the establishment, I was warmly greeted by the owner/operator/lead instructor, Mr. Dean WELLEN who is a well accomplished black belt currently under Ryron & Rener GRACIE of GRACIE UNIVERSITY. After introductions, I was given a gracious tour of the facilities where I immediately noticed how clean everything was, including the commode and changing area. While upon the mats, I was given fantastic, informative, as well as entertaining instruction by Mr. WELLEN who not only makes you feel at home and at ease, but he allows you to work thru problems and progress, while also making it a challenge to further your skills sets. In addition, the student base is extremely friendly and accommodating which goes to show how well the culture at the CTC has been fostered under the leadership and tutelage of Mr. WELLEN. In closing, if you're looking for high level instruction in a fun and friendly environment, with an emphasis on self defense and sport Jiu Jitsu, this is your spot. It's the type of school where you can train alongside your loved one or drop your teenager or toddler off at and not worry one bit. Bravo to Gracie Jiu Jitsu Long Beach. You have a new fan and customer. Thank you!

I dropped in recently as part of a larger project and from walking in, the music and cool nature of everyone on those green mats was very relaxed. One of the best things about this school besides it's cleanliness is how down-to-earth the leadership and therefore, culture, is. Good technique is something you can find anywhere [including here], but a good culture with a healthy, happy population of women and great music on the mats is a much harder find. As far as BJJ culture goes, this is the best balance between structured and laid-back that I've come across yet.
