Both of my boys (CJ & Caden) have been attending Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Huntington Beach for years, and I…read morecan honestly say it's been one of the best decisions we've made. Coach Carlos and Coach Mason are absolutely phenomenal--they're not only knowledgeable and skilled, but incredibly attentive and engaging with the kids. They know how to keep the energy high and the kids excited to learn every time they step on the mat. Beyond the jiu-jitsu skills, my boys have gained so much confidence and discipline through this program. It's clear that the coaches truly care about the kids, and the environment they've created feels like one big supportive family. I'm beyond happy with our experience at Gracie Huntington Beach and would 100% recommend it to anyone--whether for your kids or yourself. You won't just be learning jiu-jitsu, you'll be joining a community.

2025 is my year to tick off many items on my bucket list. Jiu jitsu has been on it for a while & I…read morehave to say this last month has been an amazing journey to begin. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu HB located off Hamilton/Brookhurst in the Trader Joe's shopping center is very easy to find next to Bo's Bagel & Coffee with plenty of parking. The studio itself is very clean (highly critical) is a bit small, but it surprisingly has enough room to practice the combatives. Coach Carlos & his team are very passionate, knowledgeable, dedicated and kind and have so much patience with newcomers. I immediately felt welcome and excited to learn the many techniques without any fear. There is a variety of classes & times offered for both seeking adults or for children and even a self defense class strictly for women called Women Empowered. Whether you've tried martial arts previously or not, I feel Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is structured so well that you cannot fail to embrace it. If you've never tried martial arts, I invite you to come by and do the 10-day trial to explore a new way of life. I feel even in the short few weeks challenging myself to learn something new, I've developed a quiet confidence. I am in love with the idea of self mastery and believe I will be a lifelong student of Jiu jitsu!

I finally got the chance to check out Rounders MMA in Huntington Beach on Wednesday, June 4th,…read more2025, and it definitely lived up to the hype! I took the 6:15 PM Gi Jiu Jitsu class, taught by UNF MMA Champion and Checkmat Black Belt, Gianni Vazquez. The class is designed for all skill levels, so whether you're a beginner or have no experience at all, you'll feel right at home. It started with some warm-ups and quickly moved into specific drills and live sparring. As a purple belt, I really enjoyed the class and walked away with some awesome guard-passing techniques. Rounders MMA offers so much more than just Jiu Jitsu - they also have NoGi Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, and Muay Thai classes. Plus, they offer specialized programs for kids, including Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and Muay Thai + Boxing. If you're looking for a way to get your kids involved in martial arts, I highly recommend Rounders. The benefits are endless: from physical fitness and mental toughness to boosting self-confidence and teaching valuable life skills like focus, respect, and self-discipline. It's also a fun and structured way for kids to release energy and make new friends. Highly recommend checking them out! A huge thank you to owner Sebastian for taking such good care of me for my first time at Rounders HB!!!

We moved to the area 1.5 years ago and got our daughters into jiujitsu just for the fun of it. Now…read morewe're full blown jiujitsu parents and we have no regrets. We're practically there every day of the week. Initially, we did try other gyms and landed on Praia. Why do we love Praia? 1. The coaches- each coach has their unique style and strengths and my daughter appreciates each coach for different things but what they all have in common is their devotion to the love of the sport and they teach in a way where they break things down so the kids can understand. They're patient, they make things fun and they show the kids how to respect others and the mat. 2. The owner Thiago, definition of a true small business owner. Literally building everything from the ground up with real values, hard work, and genuine care for the members of the gym. 3. Clean gym- they're constantly wiping down the mats. The bathroom is always clean. It's never stuffy or smells like sweat. My two daughters and husband go here. We love it for my younger daughter because it's a place for her work on her coordination, make friends and learn discipline and respect. My oldest daughter competes in tournaments and we wouldn't have learned about her skill if it wasn't for Praia. She's learning new skills on and off the mat. With the support of her coaches- she learns how to be a team player, how to deal with tough situations and losses and how to try again and again and again. I would highly recommend Praia to any friends, family or strangers.

We've been training at Praia Jiu-Jitsu for about a year now, and I honestly couldn't be happier…read morewith our experience. Coach Thiago and the entire team are absolutely amazing with kids. You can really tell they take a true ical approach -- it's not just about teaching techniques, but about building confidence, discipline, and respect. Every coach is attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about each child's progress. What I love most is how they know exactly how to connect with kids and keep them engaged while still maintaining structure and professionalism. The environment is supportive, positive, and very well organized. I highly recommend Praia Jiu-Jitsu to any parent looking for a place where their child will not only learn jiu-jitsu, but also grow as a person.

When you walk into Gazze Academy, you're not just stepping onto a mat you are stepping into a place…read morewhere character is shaped, confidence is built, and discipline is earned through sweat and patience. Instructor Paulo Gazze Jr, is more than just a jiujitsu coach he is a mentor, a role model, and a steady hand in my son's life. The amount of time, energy, and genuine care he invests into his students especially the young ones is something rare and deeply impactful. He doesn't just teach submissions and escapes; he teaches responsibility, humility, and perseverance. Watching my son grow under his guidance has been nothing short of inspiring. I have seen him become more focused, more respectful, and more driven on and off the mat. Paulo pushes his students, but always with encouragement. He expects the best from them, and in turn, they learn to expect the best from themselves. Gazze Academy isn't just a place to train it is a place to grow up strong, kind, and capable. I couldn't be more grateful for the environment Paulo has created and the example he sets every day. My son is learning jiujitsu, yes but more importantly, he's becoming the kind of young man we can all be proud of.

For those that know little of BJJ it is probably the greatest accomplishment in my life. Greater than when I made a big ten baseball team and even made the majors. I owe it to Jr. Jr has been a tremendous professor and has been guiding me through my journey to help Jiu Jitsu find me! I thank God for Jr and my BJJ family for my success. You owe it to yourself to give BJJ a try. Recommend you contact Jr!!

The professors are kind, patient, and do an amazing job encouraging the kids to treat each other with respect. The schedule is incredibly convenient, with six classes available each week, which makes it easy to stay consistent. The studio itself is spotless and beautifully maintained. The mat system is outstanding--featuring about 7 inches of spring support to help protect joints and prevent injuries. The space is versatile, able to be one large room or divided into sections, and it's really motivating for the younger kids to see and learn alongside the older students. The staff is amazing. Krystal, in particular, was so kind to my son and made him feel truly welcome and special from day one. This studio does so much more than teach Jiu Jitsu--it helps kids build confidence, improve social skills, and get off electronics in a positive, healthy environment. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend it to any parent!

I can't say enough good things about Gracie Barra Huntington Beach. Tonight honestly exceeded my…read moreexpectations in every way. My son hasn't been super interested in activities lately, so I came in hoping for the best but unsure how it would go. Within minutes, I could see a shift. The instructors made him feel comfortable, included, and confident right away. The energy in the room is something special supportive, disciplined, but still fun. It truly feels like a community, not just a class. We signed up immediately, and I'm so grateful we found this place.

Gracie Barra is a perfect 10 out of 10 every time…read more "No, I don't like that" is a huge part of our daughter's vocabulary, so our goal was for her to begin training in some form of mixed martial arts. We wanted to pick a studio that promoted confidence and constant resilience because she is a very strong-willed young lady. We tried 5 different studios, and to be honest, none of them stood out to us like GB did. Being the tiger mom I am, I want my daughter to try new things, work past her laziness, and know that quitting is never an option. I love that Gracie gives structure and instills a strong work ethic and respectfulness, which was a huge factor in why I chose GB for our daughter--the way they run their program, the way each coach gets down to the children's eye level, and how they expect children to always give it their best. The coaches, Professor, and Nathalia were supportive throughout the entire process. They never pressured our daughter into anything she was uncomfortable with. Although it took about a month for her to fully adjust to the training routine, Coach Curren quickly became our favorite coach. His calm, encouraging presence helps all the children feel at ease and confident during their sessions. Gracie Barra HB is definitely the adopted family you want your kids to have because they're absolutely the best! I recommend them to our friends all the time, and now another family has their girls training with them too.

This is the best jiu-jitsu studio in Orange County by far and also Neiman keeps his studio tight knit and family like and you will never find yourself battling for space on the mat, Like some of these other studios that just try and have as many people as possible in each class. 10/10 recommend
