This is the absolute best Jujitsu gym I have ever been to. Best instructor ever, he is extremely professional at all times and is very knowledgeable. The gym is extremely clean and he offers private lessons for reasonable prices. The students safety is paramount and it shows. I have been with this gym for a few years and have only seen the upmost respect for all who walk through the doors. It’s a month to month gym so no high pressure contracts or sales tactics. If you don’t like what you are learning then there are no commitments.

The gym is very clean, the students and instructor are willing to help and no one has egos. I know every time I train here I will learn, stay safe and enjoy one of the cleanest gyms with the best mat in OC. Always leave with my fat crying covered in sweat!

Great environment, friendly people and a great, reputable instructor in the sport of BJJ and MMA who is committed to training his students and seeing them excel. Would recommend this school for all people regardless of your experience or background.

Finding this gym was by far the best thing thats happened to me in 2020. Ive always wanted to learn and practice jiu jitsu because of the complex 3D chess game that it is, and when I came across a groupon deal to try it for a month, I saw it as a sign I should finally do it. I called the number that same night after hours to remind myself to call the next day to ask questions I had before going to my first class. Nick called me right back and we had a good conversation as I told him my background and what I was looking for. I felt very happy about the choice I made. Going to the first class I was excited and it was everything I hoped it would be. A warm up to stretch and instruction on a specific technique then drilling it to make sure each other person in class understands it. I went for the remainder of the month and became addicted. I can only go on Tuesdays and some Saturdays because I have a full time job and a new baby, but if I could go more, then I would. If youve ever thought about wanting to try jiu jitsu and you live within 25min, I recommend you try for the month because thats basically what I did and I only wish I couldve done this earlier in my life. Nick is a good reasonable man, and he would probably refund you if you go for the first time and are completely turned off to the experience.I try to give honest criticism on here with pros and cons, but I literally dont have any cons. The other people Im class are cool people and Nick even brings in higher level belts every now and then which is cool. They can offer more insight and show slightly different ways of thinking about the martial art that makes me appreciate it even more. 6/5 would recommend.

This is a great place to train and learn. As someone new to the area, I felt not just welcomed but the other students were eager to integrate me into their program. The owner, Nick, dropped what he was doing when I first arrived to address my questions and concerns. The training and workouts are great, but the environment alone is a greater reason to stay.

This place is awesome!! Professor nick has a bunch of great and welcoming athletes who have obviously been honing their craft. I’m 6’1 190lb and guys that are about 150lb we’re tapping me out 😂. Overall great gym I would recommend to anyone!

Just because one left you a bad review for being open during covid.

Came in for the first time last week and Nick and Brett made me feel at home. As a complete beginner the environment was great for learning and felt comfortable with the movements. Will be back for sure.

Awesome place to train kids program was great. We are in town visiting and really happy with the gym and the team environment. Highly recommend this for kids and adults.

I trained with Nick for about a year after I got bullied out of the line up surfing in Newport Beach. My confidence level went up 100% after training for just a few months. I became fit much faster than going to the gym and became more aware of my strength and a abilities which helped me overcome insecurities that previously kept me from defending myself. A year after training consistently I encountered myself in a similar situation where a man attacked one of my friends at a bar. I was able to submit the guy without any punches while security defused the situation. I am forever grateful for my time training there. I would continue to go to this gym if I was still living in the area! Osss

Instructor is extremely agressive, i saw him yelling and abusing a guy in the parking lot, NO WAY I WOULD TRUST HIM WIH MY KIDS
