First my 6 years old daughter started training jiu-jitsu here. After just a couple of weeks, seeing how happy she was to go the class and seeing what she was able, I decided to bring my 10 year old son. Its been 8 months and Im thinking of giving it try myself now. This place is truly a gem. If youre looking to start jiu-jitsu, I recommend O.C. Jiu-Jitsu in Irvine.

This gym is great! I joined almost 3 years ago as a freshman at UCI and I have been with Cedric ever since. Cedric, Jeff, Jake, and Eugene are all great instructors. I have competed and placed 1st in a couple local tournaments using their techniques. Cedric and Clark Gracie promoted me to blue earlier this year. My teammates are also very nice and patient with beginners but are also going to give you a tough roll (in a good way) if you are looking to improve your game. You set the pace. I plan to keep coming to this gym for as long as I am in Irvine.

Awesome Jiujitsu school. The coaches are very good with children. The kids are great and all are respectful to each other. This is one of the important criteria for me regarding kids schools. I want realistic training but with respect for each other and no egos. I highly recommend this school

Cedric Jeff and Naomi are all fantastic instructors. The culture and vibe at the gym is next level. Great for competition training, great for fitness and self defense, great kids program.

Im a veteran. I have trained in multiple bjj gyms in Florida, Texas and New York with the military. The greatest thing about this gym is how family oriented they are. The moment you walk through the door you feel it. I’ve been working in here for a week and it feels like I’ve known the coaches, students my entire life. The level of knowledge from all the diff belts is amazing. All the feedback from the black and brown belts is truly humbling. I can’t see myself training anywhere else. Lastly I don’t have any kids but in this gym I met someone that trains with his son who is no older than 7 years old. (Father & Son) training together, Its very impressive to see what they do for the kids. The coaches really care and it goes along way. Roxanne and her husband have made something great here. Thank you.P.S Their Gi looks flawless!🤙🏼

Moved from NYC to OC and was looking for a professional and reputable school to join and this was it. Amazing professors, well taught classes, and most importantly fun environment to learn in. Place is kept very clean

This is an AMAZING place to train. Professor Cedric, Professor Jeff, & Professor Jake are extremely knowledgeable. They take time every class to explain the concepts. All the training partners are very respectful. Everyone leaves the egos at the door. I highly recommend OC Jiu Jitsu.

I came by to train at Gracie Gym, Irvine, while visiting from out of town for work. I trained there two days. Coach Cedric was very warm and welcoming, and everyone I trained with was both technical and friendly. Great jujitsu, great times. It was like everyone went out of their way to make feel part of the gym, which I really valued. It says a lot about a place when everyones like that. If I was in Irvine, I would without hesitation train at Gracie Gym. Im already looking forward to coming back. Awesome place!

I’m happy to be one of the teachers at OC Jiujitsu. All of the students have great attitudes and not o lu retain the information well but also help the newer students along the path. Come on in for a trial class!

Great atmosphere and the instructors keep a good balance between discipline and fun. The kids learn jiu-jitsu fundamentals as well as competition jiu-jitsu. The class has developed a great community of parents and kids and there also social events and trips to tournaments. The children get fitter, increase self-confidence, often do well in regional tournaments and learn anti-bullying strategies as well as tournament skills and all-round self-defense.

Super welcoming place to train at, everytime I visit from Australia for a competition this is where I train. Great coaches, people and Jiu Jitsu. Highly recommend for people in the area looking to try Jiu Jitsu or for any travellers wanting to drop in and train.

I have watch my sons commitment and dedication to working the sport, improve able to deal with-people and get himself in shape and the discipline to make a commitment and follow through. Were become so proud of him a very proud child and easy child to raise. Full of love and affection for profession and the people that are lucky enough to meet and talk to him.Nobody knows as I do. I love you jer.

Cedric and his wife were incredibly gracious in allowing us to roll and take up mat time prior to the Pans. A gentleman to deal with and without a thought gave us time in his facility. Even opened the facility for an open mat when he had to coach for one of his students. If you are in the Irvine area take advantage Cedrics knowledge.

I am in Irvine on a trip with the family and brought my Gi with me for training when there is free time. Today i had some time, so I joined the 18:30 class and enjoyed it very much. The professor was very kind and accomodating, the fellow students were as well. 3 techniques were covered in a simple yet effective way.I am planning another one or two more visits to the gym, and it will surely be my training place whenever in Irvine in the future!Thanks to professor Cedric for his hospitality, and for the team for their accepting me to be their colleague temporarily 😊.

I cant say enough good things about this gym. I visited while on a work trip. Cedric and his students are very welcoming. It felt like I was training at my home gym. Slick technique, great atmosphere. I will definitely be stopping back when Im back in town. Oss.

Great place to train for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Great vibe.

Instructor Ced is a dedicated teacher who truly loves Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu inside-and-out. He is extremely patient with all of his students and makes sure that everyone has a great time during training.

I was a visitor from out of town, they were very Friendly and seemed to be like a family. Would definitely come and train there again

Today I had the pleasure of spending an hour with Professor Cedric in a private lesson. I am in irvine on vacation and decided to try out this gym. His attention to detail and skill is apparent. I felt welcome from the moment I stepped through the door. I enjoyed my time at clark gracie and will definitely come back next time I come to irvine. I the stayed for their 12pm class and was treated like a special guest. Amazing people and amazing jiu jitsu what more can u ask for.

Extremely great atmosphere and awesome technique equals super awesome time.

My kid has been training with Cedric for over 3 years and has learned so much from him. Ced is def the person you want to train with whether you are an adult or kid.
