    Probably one of the best gyms and trainers in LA. Marcos got me into the best shape of my life. Is it hard, yes. Will you love it? Not at 1st. Will you Come back for more? Absolutely. If you want a good workout without any gimmicks, come to Matador Training. Marcos is a great person and trainer. You'll feel like family from the 1st punch.

    I was looking for a way to lose some weight and get ready for LAPD Academy. Many gyms don't offer privates on the weekend, but after getting in touch with Matador Training ON Instagram I got in contact with Coach Marcos. I was able to explain to him what I was looking for and Coach Marcos was able to figure out the right plan for my needs. At first, it came to be a bit intimidating with everyone training and being 100% focused, but everyone at the gym was very nice and introduced themselves. My first training session was excellent and it was exactly what I was looking for. With my busy schedule, Coach Marcos does his best to accommodate my needs and always keeps in touch regarding my fitness journey. I highly recommend anyone looking for Private lessons and looking for a gym where everyone is supportive. I can only speak for the private lessons, but once I have more time I would like to join the other available classes Matador Training provides. Also wanted to add. Down 20 pounds ever since I join the gym!!

    Best fight gym I've ever been too -- not only are the coaches are top tier with actual fight experience, the members that are attending are always welcoming and kind, no matter if you're a beginner or not. I've found that most places have a lot of ego, but Matador is for everyone. The energy is contagious with positivity, it's not only a place to break a sweat or train --- ITS A HOME!!! Come through if you're looking for a dope community and a place to keep you accountable with whatever goals you have in mind.

    I owe this gym such a debt, the coaches, the people, and a truly unique environment. Take your pick…read moreof training: Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu (Wrestling incuded) all come highly recommended! Cleanest gym out here, the staff work diligently to protect the health of the clientele between classes which include cleaning and wiping down the mats and all surfaces used! Currently been knowing the team going on 6 years, and training for about 4 years, blessed to have trained with everyone that has come through these doors, and proud to be apart of this lineage of people, and looking forward to welcoming new family members as well. Highly recommeneded!

    Started training here almost 3 years ago and really didn't know what I was in for. It was clear…read morefrom jump that everyone, coaches and students, takes their training very seriously. This is not just a little boxing class! It wasn't long before I started taking my training seriously, too. Since then, the coaches have gone out of their way to teach me, encourage me, support me, hype me up, and remind me that martial arts is about much more than physical fitness. (Body teaaa though!) Pro-tip for women looking into 10P Burbank: don't worry about the male/female ratio. Everyone here is your teammate. The coaches do a phenomenal job ensuring the mats are a safe place for everyone, and they set a high bar in terms of behavior. Never had a problem and happy to say that 3 years later, nobody wants a problem ;) If you're looking for a martial arts gym where you can sharpen your focus, strengthen your commitment to yourself and your wellbeing, double down on your discipline, face those inner demons, and build community with some real killers, this is the place.

    I was looking for a competition school and finally found it. They have lots of IBJJF and ADCC…read morechampions here. Most bjj schools are more relaxed, too nice and slower paced. This place has regular class and competition class for kids. Professor Enzo is very efficient with class time and more strict. This is training not play time. They have classes 6 days a week and M-F, classes are 70 mins. Sometimes goes 80 mins. If you want your kids to get better, this is the place. Some families drive hours to come here. That tells you that they are doing something right.

    I joined this school with about 5 years of prior experience in BJJ (as a blue belt). My bjj journey…read morehas not been straight forward. I started training in my 20's at a big name school. After about 5 years, I got seriously injured, got surgery, then life happened (marriage, kids), took a 8 year hiatus from training, and now at 41 years old, I was able to find my way back. It was through a referral from a friend that I found this school. Since restarting, my view of the art has changed tremendously. A lot of the fundamental concepts, which were elusive me to early on, have been hammered into my mind because of this school. Enzo is meticulous, and very technical. He is an instructor who has a passion for his students. I've trained at various schools for years, where I was taught mostly by purple or brown belts. Having Enzo, a 3rd degree black belt under Cobrinha, teach every single class has been so beneficial to my journey. He's instilled in me not only a solid fundamental base, meticulous details and techniques to build on top of it, but more importantly, a passion and curiosity for continual discovery of the art. He makes it a point to know and meet each student where they're at. Yes, the school is growing bigger, but it still maintains a small school vibe, with a no-ego, fun, and safety-first culture. Both of my daughters and my wife train here as well, and they love it. Anyone and all are welcome.

    My experience at A-Side Jiu Jitsu was very positive. While I was in the area for a business…read moreconference, I decided to purchase a drop-in pass (Adult Class Pass) for a 7 a.m. training session to stay consistent on my training. The purchase process was very simple via their website. I received a confirmatory email and then a confirmatory text message from the owner/instructor, Professor Arman. It felt like concierge-level services with Professor Arman reaching out to prepare for my session, including checking in about my prior training experience. At the 7 a.m. class, Professor Arman taught us students techniques before we transitioned to drilling and rolling with classmates. The students I encountered at the class were all very nice people and Professor Arman was an engaging instructor willing to invest the time to provide individual feedback on how to improve my technique. The positive review could end there, but my highlight actually was chatting with Arman for an hour after the class about the jiu jitsu life. I can tell he cares deeply about his school and his students and think that is why this business will continue to succeed. Hopefully I'll get another chance to do a drop-in in the future.

    This review was long overdue. Great Jiu Jitsu school with a great professor. We have both of my…read morekids, my 6 years old and 4 years old for over a year now and cannot be happier. We started with regular classes and although my kid has lots of energy, sometimes too much the professor was very patient with him and helped him guide that energy on the right path. I was also recommended private classes for just my son and I am glad we took them. He performed so well after a few months taking them that he moved to the next level. Once my daughter is older we will take the same path. Once again, a tough professor when is needed but also gentle so my kids know to be respectful and feel safe at the same time. Oh one other thing, great families all around and my kids made some great friends! Highly recommended for whoever wants to join this amazing family!

The vibe is really vibin' (super light feeling) The community is sooo positive, and super welcoming. It honestly feels like you already know the people you just met... real family vibes. The coaches !?!? They really know their stuff, and it's always FUN even i'm just watching them roll, NO dull moments. No pressure at all The mats feel like a place you actually want to keep coming back to. VERY Clean, organized gym, good energy. Just learning and rolling. Can't wait for my daughter to grow into it and start rolling on these mats too, for now we just observe daddy rollin' and learn the moves

There's a modest sign…read moreoutside, but the glowing neon "Jiu Jitsu" sign at the door lets you know you're in the right spot. The inside has so much character--clean, well-lit, and a disco ball over the mats. The music is just as eclectic, ranging from heavy metal to Banda. The coaching here is what keeps people coming back. Professor Marco has a real gift for making difficult concepts feel intuitive, and having Matthew and Mike there for MMA and No Gi makes the technical depth of the gym incredible. You can tell they actually care about your progress, whether you're an amateur fighter building a career or a parent bringing your kid to the Saturday "Parent and Me" classes. It's a grounded, ego-free community where people actually stick around to talk after training. When you visit, reit's street parking only, so give yourself a few minutes to find a spot.
