    Just signed my son up for Gracie Bullyproof Little Champs, and he absolutely loves it! He looks forward to every class. The instructors are amazing, patient, and encouraging, and the facility is always clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

    Can I take a class even if im not that good at english?

    Yes, definitely! We have had students whose primary language wasn't English, do great in our classes!

    Would anyone happen to know what the pricing is for Gracie Combative? Monthly and yearly perhaps? Thank you in advance!

    Monthly memberships. Price varies based on how many visits. 10 day free trial to see if you like it.

    Hi! Would really love to take your women's self defense classes in person. Are you still only doing online classes? If so, when do you think in-person classes will start up again?

    Group classes have resumed. You can sign up for a free trial for the Women Empowered program here: https://gracie-torrance.com/women-empowered/

    I'm interested in taking up BJJ, but I'm on a budget, how much are monthly rates?

    Not the place for you to train if your on a budget , this is high quality Jiujitsu training there for you get what you pay for ...

    A friend of ours recommended this dojo. What a unique and wonderful place!…read more We went for a free trial class and were instantly impressed. All of the staff and the Gracie's are so good with the kids - very gentle and encouraging, but with structure and consistency. They treat each child as an individual and take time to work with each one. We have felt such sincerity and kindness from everyone we have ever met there. Our little one's physical and social confidence are already noticeably growing after only a few classes. And this is such a positive and engaging place, it's always a very preferred activity for us. Parents and families can stay to watch and learn by observation. There are also games like air hockey downstairs for after class. So, it feels like more of a family hangout spot than just a drop-off and pick-up activity. I should also include that as an MMA fan, I partly picked this school because of Rodrigo Gracie's top credentials and legendary career. This alone makes the dojo unique, but when combined with the warm, family friendly approach they have, it is truly a special place.

    I've been eyeing Machida Karate Academy since I was pregnant with my firstborn. I had always…read moredreamed of enrolling him here because of the incredible reviews and the connection to someone my husband has admired for decades Lyoto Machida. When we first started dating, he told me about Lyoto, and it felt like destiny that our son would one day train at a place tied to someone we both respected. Back then, the youngest age accepted was 4, so I had to wait patiently. When my son was 3.5, I reached out to the dojo to plan ahead, and that's when I met Sensei Caroline the sweetest, most professional guide you could hope for. I also had the honor of meeting Chinzo Machida. He is incredibly humble and professional, even with a 4-year-old student, which immediately put me at ease. My son absolutely loved his time there. He would talk about it constantly, excited for every lesson, every practice. Unfortunately, after about two months, I realized he wasn't quite ready for the level of discipline and structure required yet, and I didn't want him or the class to struggle. I spoke with Sensei Caroline honestly, and she was completely supportive, encouraging us to return when the time felt right. This academy deserves every ounce of respect and recognition. The environment, the instructors, and the care they put into their students are truly exceptional. I can't wait for the day we come back and fully experience all that Machida Academy has to offer.

    My daughter recently started at Machida Karate Academy in Lomita, and I couldn't be happier with…read morethe experience so far. From the very first class, the instructors made her feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. They strike a perfect balance between discipline and encouragement, firm when they need to be, but always positive and patient. What really stands out is how intentional they are about teaching both skill and character. My daughter is already showing more confidence, focus, and respect at home, and she looks forward to every class (which says a lot!). The lessons are well-structured, engaging, and age-appropriate, and the instructors truly take the time to help each student improve at their own pace. The academy itself is clean, organized, and clearly run with a lot of pride. Parents get a great view of the classes, and it's easy to see how much care and attention goes into each session.
