    I'm so happy we found Novaes Jiu Jitsu Academy for my son. We tried all the sports and nothing was the right fit for him until we tried Jiu Jitsu. He loves it there. He has made good friends and has learned self defense and discipline. It's a commitment so there's room for growth and advancement. The best part is it's super affordable and the coaches are amazing. I definitely recommend checking it out.

    This is no ordinary jujitsu Academy. This is truly a family and a community. Kids are taught with so much kindness, patience, and love. We've had an amazing experience with our very high energy 6-year-old seeing him go from all over the place attention-wise to much more focused. He's learned not only jiu jitsu skills, but more importantly he's learned patience, persistence, and self-confidence.

    If you want to learn the "gentle art" there's no other place to take that first step than at Novaes Jiu Jitsu Academy.

    They have great teachers and staff here. They focus on each child even as a big group.read more

    I own a large service, repair and install company across Los Angeles County, and I raced as a child…read moreand professionally through my teens and twenties. I LOVE COMPETITION and I know business. Losing is a phenomenal motivator to hone your skills. We were told about a "friendly" competition at my children's BJJ gym and traveled over an hour to Inspirit for my daughters 2nd and sons first comp. Inspirit is a very clean gym, and we had a pleasant experience throughout the morning and part of the afternoon. The large, enclosed back area felt safe, allowing my youngest to roam around unsupervised. What I think is absolute nonsense is that my daughter, who just earned her grey belt with a white stripe, was moved from a division of three other kids with the same belt to the division with the highest grey belt. They paired my daughter with the owner's daughter, who, in my opinion, is definitely not a grey belt. My daughter fought, tried, and lost, and THAT'S OK. We're PROUD of her and we know what she needs to work on. But what I'm not proud of is the gym lying about it being a friendly competition and then promoting a far less experienced practitioner so their child could win. That's pretty low. A lady next to me, whom I've never seen before, said, "That wasn't even a fair fight," and the coach from our gym later voiced the same opinion to our professor. Our friends voiced that same opinion. To add insult to injury, our gym professor doesn't enter his kids in these "friendly" tournaments due to ethical concerns. So, is this the kind of sportsmanship, ethics and self defense you want to learn or have your kids learn!?! if it is, you've found your gym. Who calls us from the gym to "check up" and then "thank us for our feedback?" - Some random employee who also tried to take responsibility for making the bracket, that's BAD business and I'd bet the family farm she didn't set the brackets - the owners do. At least I now know you're so ashamed of your decisions, you're unwilling to take responsibility for your actions and willing to throw a 7 year old and an adult under the bus. Here's your "feedback"

As the…read moreonly woman in class, I was initially nervous, but the Sensei and students have been so welcoming and supportive that I immediately felt at home. The culture of this dojo is truly special, with everyone encouraging one another to grow and improve. Patrick and Miguel deserve a special shoutout for their expertise and teamwork. They create an environment that is both challenging and motivating while making sure each student feels seen and supported. Every class leaves me feeling stronger, more confident, and excited to continue my journey. I'm so grateful for this space and the community they've built. If you are looking for a dojo where you can truly learn, grow, and be part of a supportive culture, I highly recommend Team Evolution. I literally tell EVERYBODY about it!!

I was on the brink of paying for the 6 month upfront package when I found out that as soon as I did this, the rest of my trail month (paid for) would be eliminated. This left a bad taste in my mouth. I purchased 1 month of privates and group classes. I was about to fork over $1250 to enroll for 6 months, but then they want to take the rest of my paid for classes away. They explained their reasoning for this, but it bothered me enough to find a new program. One of the gentleman I spoke with was super great and not pushy. He encouraged me to check out other programs. The other one was quite intense, and lost us as clients. I would still consider this studio down the line when my son is older because his private teacher (Robert) was very kind and patient. Bottom Line: My son enjoyed the classes. They teach a quality program that felt safe and fun.
