Costa Mesa Jiu Jitsu - Costa Mesa, California

I love this gym. I visited a few times and if I lived closer I'd definitely be a member. An affordable rate with high-level training. Some of the bigger gyms you don't get the attention from the instructor that you might get at this gym. The instructors are high level and have been in the Jiu-Jitsu game for a long time. I highly recommend this gym.

By far the BJJ gym in the area for new students (and old). Many gyms can be intimidating for adults and have huge class sizes making it hard to learn, not here. You get a personalized experience from some of the best coaches in the world and they offer a variety of different classes for everyone.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to start jiu jitsu, or just learn some self defense, this is it. From top to bottom, Tony, the professors and coaches, the members, the events, and the dojo are all the best of the best. As a female participating in a male dominated sport, I have felt safe and welcome from day one. The teachers are supportive and adapt to your level of experience for every class. Don’t get me wrong, Brazilian jiu jitsu is hard. But classes here make it interesting and fun along the way. Plus, they offer a 6 week beginner class that is affordable and a one week free trial; I ended up joining after! Stop in and join the family!

Costa Mesa Jiu Jitsu is an awesome spot to train. It’s clean, welcoming, and filled with good vibes. Coach Tony is the real deal. He’s super knowledgeable, patient with beginners, and pushes you to grow no matter your skill level. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Costa Mesa Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic place for kids to learn and grow. The studio offers a warm, personalized environment where every child gets individual attention. Unlike larger studios where kids can get lost in the crowd, here they truly flourish. Coach Tony does an amazing job making sure each student feels supported and valued. Highly recommend!

Costa Mesa Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic gym. My first class I had zero experience and everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful. The coaches are very experienced and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

AWESOME experience so far with Tony and the entire Carlson Gracie coaching staff. They provide personalized coaching to ALL of their students, regardless of age group. For younger ones, Tony and the coaching staff keep them entertained and coach them on how to protect themselves. For adults like myself, they help with all levels of skill and provide hands-on coaching where you truly see improvements every week. The best part yet, is the current price....get in while you can now! This level of training/coaching excellence should cost way more! SUPER welcoming environment all around and made it easy for a beginner like me to get started and see vast improvements already. Big THANK YOU to Tony and his coaching staff!

I can’t say enough good things about CMJJ! From the moment I stepped onto the mats, I felt welcomed and part of a supportive community. The atmosphere is both friendly and focused, making it the perfect environment for practitioners of all levels.

The instructors are truly exceptional. Their expertise in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is evident, but what sets them apart is their ability to teach. They break down complex techniques into manageable steps, ensuring that everyone can grasp the concepts, regardless of their experience. Each class is well-structured, blending drills, sparring, and valuable insights that keep you engaged and eager to learn. What I appreciate most is their emphasis on respect and camaraderie. The instructors foster a culture where everyone encourages each other, creating a safe space to grow and challenge ourselves. They are always available for questions, offering personalized feedback that helps you improve your skills.

My work schedule can be quite hectic, so I make an effort to attend as often as possible. However, I’ve found that consistent attendance, a balanced diet, and regular cardio are crucial for maximizing my learning experience.

Thanks, Ever 🤘🏻
