My son likes his 5-7 year old class. He likes the dodge ball. They teach a little bit of technique, but it is mostly play based learning. 4x a month is too little IMO to learn Jiu-Jitsu, but thats the subscription we are on. Location is good for us. There are other places that youll get more classes out of for $150, but it sometimes what fits your schedule. Nice instructors. They control the class well most of the time. Front desk is friendly too.PARKINGIf youre taking 4-5p class, Reeves is 2 hours free parking.5p-6p class, try Gregory and you might find a metered spot and it is free after 6pm. Otherwise, Ive had to park elsewhere and walk 15 minutes.-1 star for bad web site and I cant find the schedule on the web site. I asked them to fix it, but front desk cant seem to forward it to the right people.

I stopped in while traveling and had the opportunity to take a private lesson with Professor Chris Saunders, one of the Dirty Dozen (the twelve first non-Brazilian BJJ black Belts), and an excellent instructor who has a black belt so worn, that its nearly white! In my 30 minute private, he was able to give me great tips that most schools would not be able to provide in an hour of instruction. Humble, succinct and a great guy, he quickly spotted holes in my game and patched them. The support staff was also extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

Its great. Lots of awesome instructors and all are easy going amd willing to sit and teach you step by step.

Consider yourself lucky if you live close enough to train at the Gracie Academy. The Beverly Hills location is run by Ryron Gracie, who is the eldest son of the eldest son of Helio Gracie--the co-inventor of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. BJJs rapid rise in popularity over the last 30-or-so years is entirely due to this familys intelligent, enthusiastic, evidence-based approach to teaching and developing the art. This clan is definitely something special, and you have to experience it first-hand to truly understand. It will change your life.The Beverly Hills location is up-scale and professional, although significantly smaller than the headquarters in Torrance.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu from the source. No where better to learn the gentle art then from the Gracie brothers themselves. Love this place. Been a member here for a few months. Facility is super clean and modern. Highly recommend Gracie Academy BH.

I had been training for a little under a year and still in combatives when I had the opportunity to visit the Beverly Hills Academy. I was greeted by a super friendly staff and had the fortunate opportunity to train with master Ryron. It was amazing. There were only four other people in the class so I got a lot of personal attention. It was an inspiring and memorable event. I cant thank these guys enough for what they have contributed to my life. Because of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I have stayed clean and alcohol-free for a year!

World-class instruction, awesome vibe, self-defense focused jiu-jitsu. Plenty of gi and no gi classes, as well as fight-simulation classes complete with 6 oz gloves and strikes. No meatheads, no douchebags, just good people dedicated to the art. Not the cheapest, but worth every penny.

I train jiu-jitsu in Chicago and I flew in to attend the Metamoris tournament. Since I was staying with a friend in West Hollywood, I thought itd be nice to drop by the Gracie Academy in Beverly Hills. I was a little nervous going in because I had never trained with a Gracie before but all my tensions were put at ease when I saw how welcoming and helpful everybody there was, from the instructors to the regular students to the front desk staff. I really felt welcomed with open arms. Ryron Gracie, who was the professor for the day, eased the tension with the class by Keeping it Playful in an interactive, fun, and intellectually stimulating class. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and I felt like I was amongst friends that I had been training with for years given how easily it was to click with the other students. The facility is truly first-rate and the locker room reminded me more of a health spa than a jiujitsu school. Additionally, they had a fridge stocked with health drinks and coconut water for sale, a detail that I wish other schools would follow suit on. I have no doubt that if I lived in Los Angeles, this would be my home academy. I look forward to the next time I fly in to L.A. so that I may have the privilege to attend another class. Whether you live in the area or youre from out of town, I would highly recommend dropping by for a class, I promise that you wont be disappointed.

The real deal taught from the school of the masters Helio & Carlos Gracie

Great place to learn self defense. Friendly staff
