Joining a combat sport like Jiu-Jitsu was something I never considered, until my younger brother…read morejoined Gracie Barra last year and encouraged me to try it. One day, I finally gave in to his persistence, attended a trial class, and ended up signing up the very next week. Every day on the mat is a learning experience, and training at Gracie Barra has instilled a strong sense of discipline in me. The professors are incredibly kind and patient. Even if I've practiced a drill countless times and still forget a step, they make sure I feel comfortable and always guide me through it. I genuinely look forward to every class and deeply appreciate the amazing professors and training partners who have become friends along the way. I highly recommend this Gracie Barra location to anyone looking to start Jiu-Jitsu.

For some reason the women's bathroom always has a funky smell to it though so I'd wait to go at home if you can. This place doesn't get super hot in the summer which is what I was afraid of and they have good ac and ventilation. They have benches to watch your child's class but you have to come early to get one of the bench spots.. otherwise you have to stand and watch.

Staff is friendly and everyone is so kind. Everyone feels like family here and the kids all seems to have such a wonderful time. They offer 1:1, youth, and adult classes. This is a smaller location but the vibe is the best I've ever seen or felt. They offer a trial class and youth group classes are on the smaller side which is beneficial! Classes can be $100 a month for once a week, $155 for twice a month, or $185 for unlimited.

From the moment I stepped on the mat, I felt welcomed; not judged. The professors bring a balance of technical precision and genuine encouragement. Every class feels purposeful. Every roll teaches you something new. What really stands out is the community. We celebrate each other's progress, push through tough training days together, and show up for one another. The energy here is unmatched ; it's family, it's accountability, and it's growth all in one. Whether you're a beginner, a competitor, or just trying to get back into it -- you'll find your place here. Alliance Laguna Hills reminded me why I fell in love with jiu-jitsu in the first place.

Professor Les incorporates boxing, wrestling, and striking in his lessons. My daughter learns more in one class than she did in a week at her old studio. Professor Les is not "soft-spoken," but he truly cares for the kids and works hard to extract the best from them. In addition to learning and growing, Valor emphasizes how to defend one's self while being more confident and assertive. Thank you again Professor Les for instilling a strong work ethic and discipline for my child.

I'm 70 years old, and anybody can do this. 10 weeks ago I had a serious bicycle accident where I…read morebroke three ribs, my scapula, bruised my ribs and got a lot of road rash. I couldn't move much for about a month so I watched a bunch of TV. When I was younger, I practiced martial arts, but I was always fascinated with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. I started watching YouTube videos at home while injured and learned that there are different types of Jujitsu, sports jujitsu, and self-defense jujitsu. Sports jujitsu is aimed at competing with other Jujitsu practitioners. They tend to be injuries with this type of Jujitsu. There is more of a Competitive, ego. Driven aim to beat your opponent. And as I was just in the process of recovering from a serious accident, count me out. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu started in the United States in Torrance California. I called the Gracie University there and asked if there was anybody in my area. They referred me to Laguna Hills and Professor Arman. I called and talked to him, thinking that private classes might be best after I recovered from my injuries because my main concern was not being injured. He convinced me that the classes were designed specifically to avoid injury, and that I would be fine there. I decided to go in and meet him and check the place out. From the moment I walked in the door, everybody I met, were very friendly and nice. The instructors and students were having fun and everybody seemed like family. No pretense or anybody acting like a bad ass. Just normal people enjoying learning this art of self-defense, which is the only one where smaller people can routinely defend themselves against larger opponents. I came in and watched for three nights in a row, wishing I could take a class. But I was still very injured and fragile. One of the professors there, Lee, asked me if I wanted to try to learn one of the techniques. I told him that I was way too injured, and there's no way because I could barely even lay down. He reassured me. We could do something simple and he wouldn't barely touch me. Hesitantly, I agreed. A few minutes later, I was learning my first technique. Doing anything, standing, walking, or even sitting hurt at that point And what Lee taught me wasn't any worse than anything else. I was thrilled. I came back the next day and worked with some of the smaller students and women, still worried about doing anything much. I made everybody aware of my situation, and they were all understanding and everything I learned flowed smoothly. I've been going there for six weeks, and I'm almost pain-free. I never thought, at 70 years old, with multiple broken bones, that I could learn a martial art, and not worry about becoming injured. But it really follows the entire Gracie Jiu-Jitsu philosophy of teaching people without them having to worry about becoming injured. I now take between five and nine lessons a week, and am progressing rapidly in their very structured educational program. I plan on doing this for the rest of my life, partly because of this particular branch of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, instructors, the students, health benefits and the value that it adds to my life. So if you want to learn what Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is all about, this is the place to be. They have a free, 10 day program, just so people can come and see if they like it. If I can do this at my age, anybody can do it. They have a terrific bully-proof kids program for children five years old and up, and have coed programs for any age. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
