Torse House Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, owned and operated by Professor Thiago Rodrigues, is hands down…read moreone of the best decisions I've ever made for my BJJ journey. I walked through the doors over three years ago as a blue belt, already competing, but Professor Thiago completely transformed my game. Under his guidance, I elevated my skills to another level and began winning consecutive gold medals across multiple BJJ organizations. Professor Thiago is not only a world-class black belt and competitor, but also an incredible coach who pushes his students to reach their potential--whether you're a competitor or just training for personal growth. The team here is extremely welcoming, but make no mistake--they train hard and push each other to get better every single day. The culture at Torse House is a perfect blend of camaraderie, discipline, and high-level technique. Every class, I feel supported, challenged, and motivated to improve. Choosing Torse House was the best choice I've made in my martial arts journey, and I'm proud to have this team in my corner every time I step on the mats. If you want to grow as a martial artist and be surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed, Torse House is the place to be.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!! Abrigo Martial Arts is simply the best martial arts…read morestudio! My son has been a student for over 5 years and loves it! Ray Abrigo is not only very skilled and constantly learning/studying his craft, he is well respected, a wonderful person and is beyond great with all the kids he teaches. He truly cares about the students. Mr. Abrigo is supportive of the kids, pushes them and believes in them. The lessons taught by Mr. Abrigo and also the Diaz brothers go beyond martial arts. The kids learn focus and respect as well as life lessons. Abrigo Martial Arts is a friendly and supportive studio. We can't image not being part of such a great place! I have also taken the kickboxing classes that are offered in the evening, and what a great workout it is! the Circuit training on Saturday's are a great way to start the weekend!! Fun atmosphere, great music, great workout!! I highly recommend anyone to check out Abrigo Martial Arts! You will be happy you did!

Delta BJJ is everything you want in a jiu-jitsu academy--family-owned since the '90s, and it shows…read morein the community they've built. There's a genuine sense of tradition here, balanced perfectly with a modern, relevant game. Whether you train gi or no-gi, you'll find instruction rooted in both old school fundamentals and cutting-edge techniques. The kids program is especially strong--structured, fun, and led by coaches who clearly care about their students' growth on and off the mats. It's a great place for beginners, hobbyists, and serious competitors alike. The environment is welcoming and friendly, but make no mistake--this is also a gym that produces tough, skilled grapplers. As a female grappler, I've always felt safe and supported at Delta. They have a solid number of women training consistently, and the culture is one of respect and inclusion. If you're looking for a place to train hard, learn well, and feel at home, Delta BJJ is it.

They have women's only open mat from time to time and I think that is so neat. I haven't seen that in other places. The ratio of women is definitely higher than other dojos. So ladies, if you want to find sparring partners, this is definitely the place. It's super clean. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Bathrooms are equipped with showers. That's next level stuff. Parking: can be tough sometimes since it's street parking mostly. But definitely not koreatown level difficult. You can find parking.

I especially love Professor Anthony's morning classes - a great group of students, and Anthony's teaching methodology is fantastic - lots of ramping up from drilling to positional sparring, letting students acclimate at their own pace to using the techniques and concepts in progressively more live situations.

They know you are new and will help guide you with your first steps. It takes a little time to adjust to the routine and what the training is like but you will easily get a rhythm if you show up consistently. They want you to come back and they want you to improve. Also They let you try out the gym before you sign on. They have lots of gym equipment in here as well so there is no need to pay extra for another gym membership just to lift weights. It's like a playground, you can come in and lift weights, you can practice on the bags and get better or you can take the different classes they offer all under one roof.

There's so much I could say about Pete and this gym- but to keep a long story short- I'm grateful I ended up here of all places. I was 21 and new to LA. I've struggled with weight all my life and wanted to find something to keep in shape. Thought I was going to boxing, ended up in Jiu Jitsu. I was the only girl, which can be scary. But Pete was super welcoming and treated me very equal to the guys and believed in me. I fell in love with the sport and did everything day and night- MMA, muay thai, bjj. Pete believes in people and CARES about his fighters. He's a very genuine and honest person, and his leadership trickles down into the culture. He's very much a life teacher in many ways and loves his analogies lol. I've learned so much about not just fighting, but life and the martial arts ways. Like I said, Pete and this gym has changed my life. 10/10 one of the best things that's ever happened to me!!

All of the instructors at the school are great, but especially Master Richard. He lives the tenets of Tae Kwon Do and sets an excellent example. He commands the room better than any coach or teacher I have ever seen, and the kids really like him. Plus, his ability to get every kid's name right every time is impressive. I mess up my own kids' names all the time. My son has now progressed to competition in forms and sparring, and his self-confidence is much improved. I highly recommend joining the studio if/when space opens off the waiting list (3-6 months, last I knew).

As a native-born Korean, my expectations for Taekwondo are very high and Master Richard has exceeded every one of them for both of our children.

Thank you, Master Richard, and everyone at All Rise!
