We were warmly welcomed into Dolby Soo Bahk Do, and we are so grateful for the experience. Sa Bom Nim Dolby is a true master, and his knowledge and passion for Soo Bahk Do are evident in every class. He is a phenomenal instructor who teaches with a perfect balance of discipline and encouragement. What truly made our experience special, though, was the incredible dojang family. They were so warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in the door. It was a wonderful feeling to be part of such a supportive and positive martial arts community, even for a short time. We can't recommend Dolby Soo Bahk Do enough. It's a top-notch school with an amazing instructor and a wonderful group of people. If you're looking for a place to train, this is it!

Training includes weapons fighting as well as ground fighting. He trains his kid classes to be physically prepared as well as mentally. My kids are exposed to vocabulary words above their grade levels. Also naming the muscles and bones as part of their training is a plus. As a class they dominated the Region 9 tournaments they enter annually. Seeing my children grow from a lamb to a lion is amazing.

They are professional, encouraging, and they are VERY knowledgeable in the world of jiu jitsu and muay thai. We've tried both their Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu program and it's DAMN LEGIT. If you have children ages 4-54, send them here. They offer free trials for self defense, muay thai, and jiu jitsu. Can I also say that they throw the best parties!??!?! Looking for a place to host your kid's birthday party? LOOK NO FURTHER. What really sets this place apart from other local BJJ gyms is the community culture. They are welcoming, clean, safe and it's full of people who genuinely care about each other. The coaches break down technique and also take the time to teach that ONE child who is struggling, while everyone else is doing their warm ups. That is TRUE dedication. My kid has grown so much in confidence and focus since joining. This isn't just any kind of gym.... it's FAMILY, and a place where you actually look forward to showing up.

I'm a slow learner, and I've never been particularly athletic, but everyone at GB Long Beach consistently taught me with patience and good humor. There is a strong team atmosphere at GB Long Beach; higher belts are uniformly friendly and approachable. The black belts are all highly skilled, and Professor Rodrigo is a seasoned competitor who is always willing to share advice. The facility itself is clean, well-lit, and smoothly organized. If you are looking for a place to learn Brazilian jiujitsu, this is the spot for you.

My son, even after all these years, continues to learn not only jiu jitsu, but sportsmanship, discipline, and respect. We are so grateful for the skills and guidance that Profesor Rodrigo and all the coaches have instilled in our son both on and off the mat. We feel confident now that our child would be able to defend himself if needed. We highly recommend to parents. You can attend Monday-Saturday (Friday competition class with approval and Saturday parent and child class) if you truly wanted to. We have been involved in several sports in the area and you really can't beat the value of this gym.

What I found here? A training ground that fuels muscle, mindset, and motivation. The coaches bring nonstop energy and crystal-clear instruction. Even if you're new, you'll learn exactly how to jab, cross, and kick your way into a full-body workout. Every class leaves me drenched, heart pounding, and closer to trimming my big snuggly belly. Now, I'll admit, the workouts can be tough enough to melt a polar bear's fur, but scaled so anyone can keep up: burpees, climbers, lunges, and more. But strangely... not a single bear crawl across the studio. Were they sparing my feelings? Afraid of offending the only bear in the room? Because honestly, that's my favorite move. The best part? The community. No judgment here; whether you're an adult cub just starting out or a seasoned beast, everyone's cheering you on to push harder, sweat more, and roar a little louder. These paws might be built for snow, Coca-Cola bottles, and belly rubs, but here they've learned to glove up and unleash on the bags. This is a workout that bites back and pushes you past what you thought possible. 10/10 would recommend. S&J Fitness is the rare den where even a polar bear feels at home.

As an athlete and active gym goer, Pilates has added to my workout routine and has given me the opportunity to strengthen my core and tone my body.

I'm already signed up for my third class and can't wait. Definitely would recommend!
