Amazing atmosphere to train in. Surely the best in Medellin! Highly recommend this room for anyone at any level to attend. Whether youre new to the game or are rolling competitively, this room is packed with respectful practitioners and competitors willing to give a hand or exchange tough rolls.At the time of visiting the gym, I was very excited to learn the particular techniques being shown at Cobrinhas academy. Surprisingly the friendly gesture at the front desk had me smiling on the way up to the mats, where was welcomed by their head instructor Yiyo Moussa and soon found out the level of jiu-jitsu being taught here was nothing short of special. Professor Moussa has a deep understanding for the art and was very helpful with all of us throughout the technique session of the training session.Very appreciative of the opportunity to come back, Hope whomever is reading this gets a chance to head out there and roll! OSU!

The best gym I have ever met in the USA. Excellent cleanliness and organization. And the main thing, the attention of the professionals, we feel like we are at home. The best professionals Ive ever met.

Beautiful gym, very clean, you will feel at home. Very productive classes for beginners and advanced. I recommend!

My experience at Cobrinha Jiu-Jitsu was excellent. The staff was very professional and the Instructor was extremely knowledgeable as well as patient. The dojo was spacious and clean. My fellow student were very helpful and friendly. I am definitely going back!!!!-Reggie J.Donovan Security Solutions

Most inviting and motivating experience you could imagine in your jiu jitsu journey. At this gym you will be trained by some of the best in the world at a personal level. They will remember your name everyday and remember your strengths and weaknesses which was unbelievable to me as a beginner. Could not feel more at home here.

I found Cobrinha Jiu-Jitsu through a business connection who spoke very highly of it, having trained there for over 10 years and wanted to try it out. It was very easy to sign up for 2 free classes online and try the club out before joining. The staff are very friendly and all the other students made me feel welcome right away. It is a really great workout, and there is a lot of focus on core and neck strength since you are grappling so spend a lot of time on the mat. I have done 4 classes so far and have really really enjoyed them all. I would highly recommend trying it out.

Love this place for kids jiu-jitsu program!

Wonderful, clean and welcoming facility. Im only able to attend the competition classes, and they are exactly the way you would imagine; competitive! All of the regular student-athletes who train there are very down to earth and easy to get along with, all thanks to the leadership of Cobrinha himself. His high standard for conduct and expectations are felt throughout all of the activities, from the instruction down to the rolling. He and his staff have changed my life for the better, from diet and exercise to goal setting and getting my own business and life in order. A remarkable place, with remarkable people. Ive trained here since they opened their doors and have never looked back.

I’ve been training at this school for about 3 years now and I couldn’t give it a more glowing recommendation. The instructors are not only extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented, they are also patient and kind. The students help each other learn without a lot of ego. As a student of the martial arts for almost 20 years, I can truly say this is one of the best training atmospheres I’ve ever seen.

The best in LA, there is no other place that teach you like Cobrinha does.

I love this place. Been training there for about 6 months now and it has been a great journey. All the instructors are phenomenal.Always nice, helping the students to improve and achieve their goals.Def a great place for a kid to learn discipline, humility and self protection.Highly recommend!Oss!

If you’re interested in competition jiujitsu, there is no better option. If you just want to learn a great martial art and have fun, this is also the best place to be.This academy has an incredible community atmosphere where ego is left at the door. Cobrinha is the most inspiring and knowledgeable person you will find and his fellow instructors follow that lead. I love this place and all of the people in it.

Ive been coming here for 3 years now. This place is like a second family. You have friendly instructors that really care. You have higher belts that are always willing to help lower belts. Great for mental health and physical health. When I started out I was 275 and now walking around 215. The mats are always clean as well.

I had a very positive first experience here; After class we all shared a little bit what was on our mind to each other and what we were grateful for. Never had that happen in a bjj class. This establishment stands for more than just jiujitsu--health, peace, compassion, and pushing limits to evolve and become a better person

Amazing gym and great training. Came in for a morning session while visiting LA and got in some rounds. Sadly, Cobrinha was away but the class was led by one of his black belts. My only, slightly negative, criticism was the price. I was charged $60 for a day pass. There was no option to just do one session. This seems a bit high. With that said, I was at a world class gym :)

The best place to train BJJ and reach next level fitness. I have been a student for almost 6 years and my life has transformed to better than I could have imagined. Positive people with positive influences.Come join our healthy and happy community!

I had the pleasure of visiting the academy and was happy to see Cobrinha himself teaching the classes. The instruction was world class, and the detail and quality was brilliant. His students were also cool which is a reflection of the quality. The academy is nice and clean and I would say anyone who is visiting LA needs to make sure they visit, no questions asked.I cant wait to come back again.

Made to feel at Home great instructors. Didnt ignore me.. Actually took time to make sure I was getting Technique and helping me fine tune.. When it came to sparring once Id sparred the only other white belt at the session their blue and purple belts rolled with me and didnt try to Maul me just kept transitioning and giving me little gaps.. Really great Experience

This academy is world class, professor Cobrinha, professor Fabio and Professor Kennedy are excellent coaches who emphasize attention to detail and accountability. Incredible training partners keep you growing and sharp. I recommend definitely taking the Saturday 10am Capofit class before jits, its neccessary and it will take your gas tank, strength, coordination, spatial awareness and Jiu Jitsu game to beyond next level. This place is my sanctuary and church. Osss!!!

Absolute honor to train at Cobrinha. To say its been a life changing journey over the past few months would be an understatement. The entire staff is kind, friendly & helpful. The training environment is second to none. Mr. Cobrinha, Fabio & Kennedy are world class instructors & competitors. Their instructions are explained & demonstrated in detail & questions are welcomed. They literally remember each students name & welcome each one of us to class each day. Mr. Cobrinha & Fabio have created a training environment based off kindness, respect, hard work & world class instruction. I sincerely consider myself lucky to train with such world class athletes & instructers, but even luckier to taught the art by such great people.

When you train at a good BJJ gym I call it an education, aka school. When you eat with the team, I call that family. Thank you for providing this Gypsy with both. Ive been traveling for 6 years, 4 of them training at different gyms around the world, this is by far one of the best.

I cant stress enough how great gym this is. The staff are helpful, welcoming and take great joy in teaching their skills. I started not too long ago and every time I walk in the door the staff make me feel like a long time member. The students are also extremely gracious, friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend to try this place out!!

I visited there in 2018. A good place with good jiu jitsu . Cobrinha is a top instructor no doubt, picked up some good techniques there ! But the prices for visitors are a bit to high in my opinion.

Top notch academy! Class was very well structured, mats were clean, everyone was friendly. Professor Kennedy is one of the best bjj athletes around. He explains each technique very well and was very helpful. Highly recommended!

Passed through as a visitor on a Saturday, Cobrinha was very welcoming having personally greeted me and my friends. Had a really good session and even before we left, he again thanked us for dropping by. Overall top place, nicely technically broken down moves and highly recommended.

Cobrinha is the definition of class by example, inspiration by action and expertise through achievement. I am a better person for having him in my life and always cant wait for every class I attend. The anticipation is outmatched by the incredible in-class experience followed by a powerful feeling of accomplishment when you are finished. Each class (and every student) is subject to the highest quality of hands-on instruction and superb attention to detail. Also, the quality of fellow students is unmatched. Not only is everyone welcoming but there are only a handful of places like Cobrinha’s where you will find a great mix of talented amateurs and world class professionals. If you want to learn a life changing art and be all the better for it, walk through the doors at Cobrinha’s and give your best! Oss.

Came to train during my trip to LA and had a great time. Everyone was very friendly. The academy is super clean. Will definitely stop by again next time I am in LA

This is the place! No need to look any further. Run. Don’t walk.PS: I’ve been coming since May and feel totally welcome. This place is like family. Please come and try. See for yourself.

This gym is amazing. Regarding the few negative reviews I couldn’t help but read, they must be confusing this place with another gym. From the beginning I haven’t experienced anything but positivity from Cobrinha, his black belts, and his desk staff.In class, the instruction is amazing and you not only have Cobrinha teaching but other instructors helping to spot check in the event you are getting something wrong and it’s incredibly helpful (cheers to Fabio and Kennedy!). Even in the fundamentals classes you will have students of all levels taking the class and I have rolled with nothing but respectful and helpful people at this school.I am active duty Military and have had to go long bursts of time without being able to come in and train (and sat out for some time with an injury I incurred training around town) and the desk staff has been incred Understanding with my schedule and readily available to answer emails.Nothing but great things to say about this gym. Can’t wait till I come in again!

This gym provides a wonderful environment to practice martial arts. The coaches are extremely helpful and courteous.

I have been training here over a year now and have loved every minute of it. All the Professors put great effort in every students growth and bring so much every day. I highly recommend this school for anyone whether or not they want to compete, train for weight loss, or just try something new. This school definitely supports Jiu jitsu for everyone and welcomes anyone wanting to learn.

The best!!

I love it here! World class instruction and a friendly, supportive environment. Grateful to be able to learn here.

This is the best place to train!! Top level competitors as well as top level instruction! As a hobbyist practitioner, sometimes I get intimidated by bjj academies but Cobrinha’s environment was immediately welcoming and friendly. Joining as a new member, I was treated like I’ve been part of the family for years. Highly recommend!

Great facility and great instruction. I dropped in from out of town and I felt very welcomed and learned a lot. The process to get checked in was 2nd to none. They really take the time to make sure you are comfortable and in the correct class with the correct instruction.

Feel very lucky to be training at Cobrinha! The level of instruction from Rubens, Fabbio and Kennedy is incredible, often with all three of them supervising a class and consistently giving detailed pointers and feedback when rolling and drilling. The way each class is structured is way better than anywhere ive trained before with time allowed after each roll to chat, this really allows you to break down how it went and learn from the experience and there is a great atmosphere between students at all levels. Cant recommend this place highly enough !

Robert was an awesome instructor and took the time to personally analyze and coach me on new tactics. Everyone is super friendly and the gym is very clean. Highly recommended

Terrible experience with this place. Of the many issues the biggest are:1. The crazy price point. When you sign, you agree to pay a minimum $2,700 for a one year membership (thats the price for 2 classes a week). That includes an initiation fee and a one year contract. Why both? They dont explain this to you when you sign. They tell you about your monthly cost, but they dont tell you youre signing for a year.2. They are extremely inflexible with make-ups if you miss one class that week, its gone. I pay for three a week and if I happen to be working or sick that week, my money (approximately $75 per week) goes down the toilet. The customer service (headed by Cobrinhas wife) is bad and unaccommodating in general.3. The price point made sense when I first joined. Cobrinha was a full-time instructor. Since then, classes have gone up in price while Cobra has opened 10 other schools around the globe. Between those other schools and seminars that he does at Alliance affiliates, he hardly teaches here anymore. Youre paying a premium for a name. Theres plenty of other great schools in LA that are WAY cheaper and have comparable instructors.4. All in all, this place has gone from being all about the students to all about the money. I have had plenty of friends who were injured during roll-sessions and not refunded their money or given the chance to pause their contract.Dont come here.

Great gym and atmosphere. Cobrinha is very friendly and helpful. I feel free to train there even though I’m from another academy. All guys are high leveled and motivating. I’m going to train there for sure!:)

Had a chance to do a drop in while attending the Adobe Max Conference. Very welcoming Academy, great friendly rolls, and top notch instruction from Cobrinha himself. Was great to meet him and just have a casual conversation. Great clean facility with very friendly members - would join if I lived locally! Will stop in again when out West.

Great school! Great instructors! All the staff are friendly. Cobrinha is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Training here is an easy choice.

Even though Ive only been to this gym, Im pretty sure that its better than most. Because of this place, Ive learned to love jiujitsu. The people here are really nice to me. They treat me like a little brother (Im only 16, so yeah) or just a friend. A lot of times, theyre even kind enough to teach me how to some cool stuff while were rolling (rolling = sparring with jiujitsu I think). Cobrinha and the other teachers are friendly as well. I even made a handshake with Cobrinha lol. But I also really admire/respect all the teachers, especially Cobrinha. Cobrinha has become somewhat of a father figure to me, listening to my struggles and giving me good advice and stuff. So Im giving this place 5 stars.

The staff and students are amazing! My son and I take classes at Cobrinha BJJ. Its worth every dollar and every second. Ive trained at several places. Cobrinha BJJ is among the top! Im indebted to the professors and coaches.

I cant express enough my appreciate and gratitude for the entire Cobrinha family. This is truly an amazing place. So much care and concern for each other. Amazing training. Great students to train with and learn from. I am relatively early in my Jiu-jitsu journey. Starting approximately 3 years ago, as a white belt, now a blue belt. I have done 7 tournaments in the last year. With my latest tournament taking place this past weekend. As an example, Peter a brown belt approached me to help me warm up and prepare for my match. I have to admit I dont know him very well, but he helped me anyway. This was after he already competed and he probably would have much rather been relaxing in the stands watching other matches. But he was there for me, like a brother. This is how everyone is at Cobrinha. Always willing to help and support. I had a similar experience at Masters Worlds. So many people being supportive. In fact, every tournament i had done I have been helped by someone from Cobrinhas. The positive energy and truly supportive environment has helped me in so many ways beyond simply learning Jiu-Jitsu. I feel like I am a better person in all aspects of my life thanks to everyone at Cobrinha. Thanks everyone!Update: June 30th, 2020: Cobrinha and crew has helped me and so many of us remain positive and focused during Covid. The online Zoom classes certainly made a difference. It was great to be able to connect virtually with everyone and continue to advance in our skills. Everyone at Cobrinhas remains an inspiration to me! Thanks.

I started training at this gym a few months ago it’s been an amazing experience. I’ve always wanted to train jiu jitsu but just never found the right place to do it. Thankfully I found Cobrinha’s.Before I started training I went to a couple different gyms but none of them were as nice and welcoming as Cobrinha’s. The vibe, energy, and cleanliness is what attracted me to this gym. Everybody I’ve met at the gym has been very welcoming and respectful.We shake hands with everyone before and after practice and learn from one of the best instructors in the game. Ever since I’ve joined the gym I’ve increased my cardio, skills, awareness, and mindfulness. We stretch out and meditate every practice.If you’re considering training jiu jitsu then I would highly recommend coming here and giving it a shot

Life is a beautiful struggle. And so is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I’m so blessed to live a block away from Cobrinha’s school. I am a father, a husband, a boxer and I write for a living. I also battle depression, anxiety and I deal with anger issues. I’ve been boxing for 10 years and I’m in pretty good shape. But I was intimidated by Jiu-Jitsu. I am in my late 40’s and I was scared I was starting too late. But I was done with the fear so I jumped in!Thank God I did! I have only been training at Cobrinha’s for a month and I can already feel the benefits to both my body and mind. I love journeys that never end, journeys where the learning never stops. I love being a student and knowing there is so much to discover. I love pushing my limits. I love being rewarded after consistent, hard work. Enough about me though...This school is amazing! Cobrinha (he’s been called the Michael Jordan of BJJ btw) himself is always there and his kindness and generosity are obviously his true skills. All of his teachers share this with him - his son, Kennedy, Professor Fabio and all the purple belt teachers. They make you feel welcome. They make you feel safe. They encourage you when you get it wrong. It’s clean, professional and worth every penny. In short - this place is legit. And my only regret is not starting sooner.Oss!

I’ve been training for a year at Cobrinha Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and my Jiu Jitsu has without a doubt improved dramatically. Cobrinha, Fabio, Kennedy and the other coaches provide world class instruction, while the other students provide a competitive yet warm and welcoming environment. With the system taught, I also saw tangible improvements in my overall Jiu Jitsu on a week to week basis.Beyond just learning Jiu Jitsu, Cobrinha himself is a source of inspiration on and off the mats. Finally, it is just a fun environment to be in.If you’re looking for a place to grow your Jiu Jitsu and grow as a person, look no further

Cobrinhas feels like my second home! Always a pleasure to visit. Friendly people, good and hard training in a clean and equipped locale.

My first class at Cobrinha was in 2015, I’m really happy that I joined. Great atmosphere, made a lot of friends. Cobrinha and Fabio are World class instructors, super friendly, and they emphasize on the tiny details of each technique. They helped me improve my jiu jitsu substantially while having fun.

I have been a student here for over 4 years and am continuously impressed and beyond satisfied with the quality and level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, fitness, and customer service given here. Not only are you training under a World class champion, Cobrinha himself, you also are receiving opportunities to grow as a person in life.If you want to take on the challenge to better yourself as an athlete and person, come join our amazing community.

So, this gym is weird and they let their favorite people be rude to others. The new girl, from Mexico, who came here to train was extremely rude to me one day and the instructor didn’t do anything about it, he just let her yell at me in class, probably because she is one of Cobrinhas future champions.We had a substitute instructor and he taught us to do one of the warm up moves that we do frequently. I was doing the move the way I thought we had been doing it the whole time, but maybe this instructor was teaching a variation on it that I missed or something. Either way, as I was going down the mat doing the move with my partner, half way through she had finished and she said, “You’re doing it wrong!” Then I did it again and she repeated herself, getting louder and nastier in her tone every time. Since the instructor didn’t say anything, I started responding and said “Thank you” every time she yelled at me. Literally every time I did it she yelled, but the instructor never said anything, didn’t confirm if I was doing it right or wrong. He just let her yell at me.This gym lets their favorites be rude to people and treat the regular people like garbage.

First time stepping on the mat I was very welcomed And everyone was humble and respectful. Professor Cobrinha was very helpful and welcoming, it made me feel like I was at my home with my family, he is the best of the best. Totally would recommend to anyone who wants to learn real jiu Jitsu.

Amazing place to train - great instruction, clean mats, showers. You can learn techniques directly from multiple time world champion and multiple ADCC champion Cobrinha. Students skills range from beginner to world champions. Cobrinha and Dani maintain a great culture on and off the mat at the gym and they will make you feel at home. The mats are some of the cleanest Ive ever seen at a BJJ school. There are 2 showers for the men and one for the women. The schedule is insane! There are classes that range from 7am until 10p at night - there is no way you cant make it to a class here. If you get a chance, you should definitely stop by and try a class!

The school uses a great system of techniques that all flow together extremely well. Whenever showing moves and teaching, they know what they are talking about 100%. Any questions on something youre having a hard time with in jiu jitsu, they have great answers for it.

That is a world class academy. Spent 3 months training there and The way professor Cobrinha, Fabbio and Kennnedy breakdown the techniques were amazing. I have trained in a lot of different dojos but I have never experienced something similar before. They all treat you with a lot of respect and they make sure you really learn the technique. I just wished I could stay longer.

I have been training here for over a year now and I can definitely say that Cobrinha Bjj is a great place for women. All ladies are very friendly and willing to help each other. Great place for you to learn jiu jitsu and make new friends.

Absolutely the most technical and best group of people Ive ever trained with. Whether youre a beginner looking for beginning lessons or if you are a pro competitor, this is the best place for your jiu-jitsu journey.

Im not the review kind of guy. However, since Ive been training here for slightly over a year now and couldnt be happier with Cobrinha BJJ, I felt compelled to write a review to share my experience but also to address some of the points raised by other reviews I think are unfair.Firstly, I need to say I ended up here complete by accident as my concerns in picking a gym was convenience, schedule flexibility (e.g. class hours and times) and affordability. Basically I walked in here completely unaware of the fact that Cobrinha was an absolute legend in the sport and honestly thought before I started the guys has his name on the wall but probably is never around. Well, I couldnt be more wrong as Cobrinha teaches most of the classes, even the most fundamental ones, and took me only a few classes to realize how passionate he is about the sport. When hes not around teaching classes (a prospective student must know that he gives seminars around the world and coaches world class competitors/UFC fighters) the other professors and assistants are also world class champions, very competent and teach great classes (special thanks here to Fabio and Kennedy).I need to say Cobrinha is my first experience with BJJ and I started training here less than a year after a knee surgery (had to cut my physical therapy short moving to LA) which, as consequence, made me put a lot of weight before getting a green light from my doctor to start training BJJ. Cobrinha is very attentive, he knows all of his students by name and, during my first classes, he was always asking if I was comfortable in doing the drills and constantly checking if I was experiencing any knee pain or discomfort. That wasnt my privilege as hes very concerned about his students progress and well-being.Another point Id like to address in this review is the behaviour other students as it seems to have been negatively raised in some of other reviews. Cobrinha enforces a culture of collaboration, safely training and encourages his students to have fun while training here. I can attest myself the place is full of welcoming people and I already made good friends here. However, a prospective student needs to have in mind that different people have different motivations to train Jiu Jitsu. Some people train for fitness and well-being purposes, some due to doctors recommendation tot tackle diabetes type 2, some are martial arts enthusiasts, some are actual MMA practitioners, some are former high school/college wrestlers transitioning to Jiu Jitsu. The point Im trying to make is that when youre training or rolling with a partner you might come across people that are very competitive and, when rolling, just want to submit you as quick as they can but I can say the vast majority of them is seeking to apply the technics they learned in class and improve their game, these guys usually adjust the intensity of the training according to their sparring partners level and are happy to help/give tips to less experienced students. This kind behaviour is constantly encouraged by Cobrinha.The last point I think is relevant to address is the gym cleanness. As I mentioned above, I havent had the chance to train elsewhere but I heard from my colleagues who trained Jiu Jitsu elsewhere before joining Cobrinha, or even people who had the chance to visit different gyms, that he runs one of the cleanest shops in town. So, if youre a germophobic this might be your place.Hope thats useful!JV

I recently moved to the west coast and was in search of a new BJJ school. I had tried a few others before landing at Cobrinhas but they werent for me. Once I arrived at Cobrinhas I instantly new this would be my new home. If you are interested in a BJJ school with top instructors at every level look no further. As a BJJ practitioner of 15 years and at one time a serious competitor in the sport, I can tell you the instruction here at Cobrinhas is way above industry standard. You wont be disappointed!

MY 8 year old son loves this facility. Cobrinha, family and staff are amazing, humble, and committed to teaching best practices!

Cobrinha BJJ is the top school in Los Angeles. Professor Cobrinha comes with years of jiu jitsu knowledge under his belt. When Cobrinha is teaching class he breaks down the technique in a way that makes it easy to understand. He encourages his students to ask questions in class. Throughout the years I’ve been taking privates with Professor Fabbio. Fabbio has helped me better understand my game. He is very supportive and a great friend. If you are looking to train jiu jitsu this is the place to be.

Visiting LA and wanted to train at a bjj academy close by. 1 class at this academy for a drop in is running at $60 + $20 to rent a gi because if your gi has the logo of your school back home, its not allowed. I wish they made it a bit more affordable.

A five star rating should never be given flippantly, as it is the highest possible rating. Cobrinhas deserves such a rating, as it is the premier place for Jiu Jitsu instruction and health and fitness. It should also be noted that there are many life lessons taught that are a direct correlation of what is experienced on the mats.

Love training there.Nice gym, clean.Great instructors, attention to details, questions welcomed.The curiculum is great, it really makes sense, it is my favorite part.If anything this place is getting better each year.Of course lot of students, a great athmosphere, people are relaxed, friendly but serious in training. Challenghing rolls for everybody.One of the very best place to train!People come from all over the US and the world to train here.It is something that I also really enjoy, meeting people from all over the world.

Very unfriendly Place. Theyre concern for safety was very lacking and after I got injured they treated me like I was a liability. There were eye-rolls from my instructor when I said I needed an icepack.Cobrihna is a world class athlete but this gym is one of the worst ones Ive been to. Safe yourself some money and go to a better gym. LA is probably the second best place to study jiu jitsu and there are plenty of better options.

I have been training Jiu Jitsu for many years and I have visited many academies but Cobrinha BJJ is far the best academy I have ever trained at. Everyone is very friendly and the instructors are very detailed in their explanation. There is no ego during training. The main word over here is “have fun” and that is what everyone does. I highly recommend this place.

Started training last week and so far Its been great! Looking forward to a fun journey

The best place to train BJJ period. I have been training there for four years and have been impressed with the quality of instruction and the professionalism of all of the instructors. You can see Cobrinhas high standards in the way he runs his school. The place is clean and everyone is friendly and attentive to your needs. Everyone is treated with respect no matter if you are a white or black belt. People are also encouraged to ask questions during the lessons. Overall, Cobrinhas has greatly improved my Bjj and I highly recommend it.

Joining the Cobrinha family back in late 2012 has been one of the best decisions of my life. Hands down.

A 5+ star Jiu-jítsu Academy. So many excellent jiu-jítsu practioners here. I used to train at night and went to all the night classes. From the beginners to the advance class. Learning this martial art from Cobrinha and Fabio is amazing. The details they put in to each and every technique they show is remarkable. Now that I train mostly in the competition class, Cobrinha’ s method of teaching is phenomenal. I have learned so much on and off the mats. The girls squad is the Best 🙌🏻 . Very technical and I always have so much fun rolling with everybody. This is not just like your ordinary gym. Majority of the people here are very competitive. Which means that you will always have to work hard and leave the mats with a good training session. We are a family at this Academy. I will always recommend this place if you are looking for a first class instruction and training.

Very welcoming and a great community. Oss!

Well what an amazing experiance , family vacation with the family so my son and i decided to train at cobrinhas HQ , as soon as you walk in your made to feel welcome , the gym is very very clean and well looked after . Fabio was taking the kids class then for the adults there was cobrinha , kennedy and fabio . I met some great people who i trained with and was made to feel welcome. The way cobrinha explains the finer details of the technique is second to none . If you are in this area i highly recommend paying a visit its well worth it .Thank you cobrinha to you and your team for making my son and i feel really comfortable .

Amazing Jiu-Jitsu , next level work ethic and family vibe it’s the best Jits place I’ve trained at I recommend it for anyone serious about getting better.

Great instruction from Fabio plus a super cool group of guys to roll with!

Accomodating, respectful and friendly people training at high level. Thank you for the training👍👍

I joined Cobrinhas academy in November of last year after asking for BJJ school recommendations from a professional Bellator fighter. I went in with absolutely zero combat sport experience or knowledge, and had no idea regarding Cobrinha (or the other instructors) reputations and accomplishments within the competitive jiu jitsu scene. Upon taking my very first fundamentals class it was immediately apparent -- to me, a completely clueless newcomer with a bjj IQ of zero -- what kind of academy Cobrinhas was. The amount of guidance, attention to detail, specific instruction, and encouragement is totally unparalleled. From the instructors to the peers at this academy, it is clear that EVERY ONE is there to learn and help others learn. There is a sincere community feeling at every class Ive taken, from Kennedys 9am class to Cobrinhas evening fundamentals class to Fabbios no gi class. Every single instructor is there to see you through it and make sure you receive the same knowledge that they did to become world champions. Cobrinhas academy fosters a champion level setting without the pretentiousness, bravado, or intimidation that one might otherwise expect at an academy with such an elite pool of talent. I am very grateful to have fallen into the wonderful martial art of Brazilian jiu jitsu and even more grateful to have done it at Cobrinhas. I cant recommend this academy enough. If youre even remotely considering dropping in, do it! Every one from Dani to Cobrinha himself are extremely helpful and will guarantee a smooth introduction to the art.

I dropped in for no-gi and had a wonderful time. Great atmosphere, super talented and helpful professors.

If youre looking for fun safe learning/rolling, this is the wrong place. I was injured twice by instructors here without so much as an apology. (The second time took me a year of physical therapy to recover from). The most frustrating part is that my membership was not refunded. Instead, I was fed some loophole in their refund policy.

I am a 2nd degree Black Belt under Rigan Machado and I trained at Cobrinha’s a little over 3 years ago, and I have to say that it is by far the best gym that I have ever trained at. I guess it all depends on what your needs are. I had been a Black Belt for some years and all I wanted was to get better and roll with other Black Belts who were world class and I got that, and then some! I attended the noon competition classes and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. The competition class is a VERY serious class and the best of the best come from all over the world to train there before big tournaments. I wasn’t as regular there as I would’ve liked to have been because of my work schedule and family obligations. There were months that I missed and that ate me up inside but I paid without complaint for over 2 years because I honor my obligations. Then I was called away out of state to take a job and Dani graciously let me out of my contract without any issues. I have the highest respect for Cobrinha and his wife Dani and the way they run their gym. They try to foster a culture of respect from their students such as, when I was there we Black Belts were expected to go around the whole room and personally greet and shake hands with all of the students on a daily basis. That speaks volumes about the character of the Cheif instructor right there. There is no cursing and foul language allowed on the mats and so on. They have a list of things that are expected from the students there, and in particular the higher belts. Cobrinha treats his white belts with as much dignity and respect as he does his Black Belts because thats the kind of person that I’ve seen him be. He’s a genuine guy. If there is pettiness and rudeness and cliques and stand-offish types on the mats, those are personal issues with those people. Cobrinha cannot be blamed for that. That is simply human nature. People are like that all over the world and in every gym imaginable. If you are looking for a gym where you won’t sometimes see the ugliness that’s inside of all of us, good luck and let me know when you find it. And by the way I got hurt there also, two times! Cobrinha told me to continue to come in and watch the techniques while my injuries heal so that I don’t get rusty. I didnt take him up on the offer because I don’t have the discipline to watch my teammates roll without wanting to jump in myself so I just stayed home and did a bunch of YouTube grappeling to keep my mind sharp until I healed up. I’ve been hurt at every gym I’ve ever trained at and this place is no exception. There are beasts and animals training there and I was 1 of them, and like a big boy we advanced grapplers don’t cry about it and blame the gym when we get hurt. It’s a personal thing to deal with until we can return back to the mats. They also routinely sent out personal emails, cards and made phone calls just to check in on me when they haven’t seen me in awhile or when I was injured. That’s what I call a morale boost and a motivator. They are a caring family. I absolutely love this place and this group of guys and i’m coming back as soon as I move back to Cali. Cobrinha is a class act PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

This gym is terrible, everyone here has a huge ego and they are extremely unfriendly to new people. Cobrinha treats you like you have to prove yourself and his proven favorites will complain about you if they don’t like you. So of course, the new guy must be the problem. There’s a lot of jerks who treat lower belts like they are punching bags and when the instructor isn’t looking, all the dirty moves come out on the new guy. You have to put up with it or risk looking like you don’t fit in. Also, they are very shady about their billing practices and your contract. Once you sign the contract you are stuck no matter what and they act like your crazy if you tell them that you need some time off. No contract freezes, no refunds, and no exceptions for people who are unhappy training with jerks who bully you around because you’re the new guy. Just don’t bother with this gym.

There’s no other academy I’d rather be. Cobrinha as a teacher and as a mentor is unparalleled.

Not the best place I’ve ever rolled. Disappointed after all the hype.

The price is expenseve even the programe is good.

The best school I have ever been!

My son and my husband train here. Its profesional and best of all everyone is super friendly. Cobrinha is the best at what he does and the other instructors are amazing as well. Fabio and Kennedy are great. Highly recommend if youre looking to learn jiu-jitsu and self defense.

A very clean gym with very skilled students and teachers

My home away from home. ♡

I wanted to quit jiu jitsu before joining Cobrinha BJJ. I trained casually for a few years, a couple times a week at most, frequently taking weeks and months off at a time. I was discouraged with my lack of progress, I was afraid to compete, and I doubted if continuing to train was worth my time. I had a budding career and thought, how can I compete with people who train full-time? Whats the point if I can never be the best?When I first met Cobrinha I did not know anything about him. He and his wife Daniella were so nice and welcoming. It only took one class for me to see that on top of being a world class instructor, he really cares about his students. His positivity is uplifting and made me realize that I need to train because I truly love the sport.Ive been at the school for over 6 months now. My open guard game was non-existent when I started, but with Cobrinhas guidance it is now one of my strengths. I look forward to every class and leave hungry for more.Cobrinha teaches us all the techniques he uses in competition. He truly leads by example and Im sure all his other students will agree that he is such a positive influence in all of our lives.

Great Dojo. Truly a place of way.

Great environment, great facilities and fantastic instructors.

World class instructors in a caring and supportive environment

Best instructors of any gym Ive been too. Very professional and friendly.

Best jujitsu school in the world!

Great academy!

Amazing place

Nice place

Excellent atmosphere and hospitality, both teachers and training partners. If you do bjj and you are in L.A. You have to do a treino there. Kennedy and Fabio are in charge of the non-gi class (the one I participate in). I would have liked to participate in other classes but the budget did not allow me, this is $ 60 a class.

I attended an all-belt class on Saturday during my training. Its a bit far from downtown Los Angeles, so we recommend moving to Uber or Lyft.The location is in a building facing the main street, but you shouldnt get lost as there is a glass dojo on your right as soon as you enter the building.The class was very serious as all the students paid attention to Mr. Kobrinyas movements.Also, the spar was divided into two groups according to weight, so I didnt have to pair with people who have different weights.Everyone greeted me with a handshake, and I was able to enjoy the training in a good atmosphere.I participated in all-belt class on Saturday at practicing.

Cobrinha is one of the best Jiu-Jitsu No Gi contestants in the world. Humble and good people.

Good training...
