When it started, he personally instructed his students to roll with us, which was really cool. Usually, we have to find partners for ourselves, which can be a bit awkward. Everyone was really nice. Everyone taught us something new. There were a lot of high belts. Never seen so many brown and black belts for an open mat. They were the majority. Usually, you will be lucky to find a few. The facility looks like it was renovated recently and looked very clean and nice. The bathrooms were nice with showers and lockers. They had a water filling station, which was especially awesome. Best of all, we met someone from a previous open mat that goes here. Small world! Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a solid place to train.

They take the time to break down techniques in a way that makes learning both fun and effective, no matter your experience level. The level of instruction here is outstanding -- you're not just getting a workout, you're learning real skills that build discipline, focus, and confidence both on and off the mats. The coaches genuinely care about each student's growth and create an environment that feels supportive, motivating, and safe. What really stands out is the sense of community. Everyone encourages each other, and you quickly feel like part of a team. I've seen huge improvements in my child's skills and confidence since joining, and it's been an amazing experience overall. Proud to be part of this community especially for my kiddo. If you're looking for a place for yourself, your family especially your kiddos to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, gain confidence, and train with amazing coaches who truly invest in their students, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Top Tier Training…read more There's a reason why this is called World Team Training Center. The coaching and training here is very high level. I've seen my wrestling improve more in the few months I've gone here than any other time or place I've trained. As an adult, it's hard to find places where you can train wrestling consistently and also make significant improvements and here I've experienced both. But there's more to it than just that: 1. Hygiene- they have and implement the highest level of standards to ensure we remain healthy and don't get skin and other infections. I've never seen a gym that implements this so well. 2. Community - they welcome everyone and you can see that they are developing a strong community here. From my first visit, I was impressed by the level of customer service and kindness from the owners and staff. This hasn't changed at all and the level of service is always excellent. 3. Superior training- as someone who trains others for a living, I admire the high level training experience here. 4. Variety - they offered a variety of classes based on your experience and interest (beginner level wrestling, MMA, jiu-jitsu, Greco, etc). There's no place like this in the LA area and it's great to see that it's done so consistently well.

Huge thanks to Rise Personal Training and the entire team!…read more After a torn tendon that was expected to require surgery or a very long recovery, I decided not to wait--I joined a gym where every workout is tailored to your body and your injuries. Just 2.5 months later, I've almost forgotten about my shoulder. The pain that once kept me awake at night is gone as the muscles around the injury grew stronger. I never thought I'd be waking up at 5:20 AM to train five days a week, but I'm so glad I gave myself that push. Thank you to the incredible coaches.

I just hit my 3-month mark, and I can honestly say this has been hands down the best workout…read moreexperience I've ever had. After having two kids, it had been a long time since I'd consistently worked out, and I was struggling to get back into a routine. I knew I needed something different from the typical gym experience. One thing I really love is that this is not a traditional group workout, which I had tried before and realized just wasn't for me. Yes, you're working out alongside other people, but you have your own station, and the workouts are customized based on where you are physically and your personal goals. I enjoy the workouts, and Trainers Chris and Sam have been amazing. They're experienced, focus on proper form, and push you to challenge yourself in all the right ways -- which is really important to me. I recently hurt my back (not from working out) and had to cancel a couple of sessions. They reached out to check on me and discuss modifying my workouts to help me recover and get back to normal. That level of care and support is something you don't usually find at gyms or workout studios. Most importantly, I genuinely feel like I'm making progress. I'm feeling stronger, more confident, and excited to keep going. Thank you, Rise team!

I've never seen him listen so attentively or follow instructions so well in any other sport or activity.

They were firm when needed, patient, and always willing to help my son throughout the class. What stood out to me the most was the culture of teamwork and support. Several of the kids went out of their way to help my son, and it was great to see the older students taking an active role in keeping the younger kids engaged, attentive, and included. It truly felt like a welcoming community. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend Gracie Barra to any parent looking for a structured, supportive, and confidence-building activity for their child.
