Me and my kids added MC Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club (Caveirinha Jiu Jitsu Family) in our recent trip in Los Angeles, a highly recommended BJJ academy in the area. They certainly did not disappoint. Professor Maycon along with his team of professionals, Professor Kevin and Jacob, were very welcoming and treated us like family. Me and my kids really enjoyed the lessons and training. The class was competitive, enjoyable, and the professors are very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend MCBJJC for anyone looking for a BJJ home. We hope to visit them again next time.

Booked a Friday evening trial class. The whole experience was smooth and welcoming - you only need to bring a water bottle. The class was taught by 2 black belt professors, who were present to provide feedback on technique. No nonsense, but they were patient in correcting your mistakes. There was one other girl in the class - but she was an incredible rolling partner. Would recommend to anybody in the area.

I went once just to try Jiu Jitsu for the first time. I've decided to prioritize other pursuits but I really enjoyed my experience here. The community is welcoming, the members are willing to help out the new guy, and yet it's not hand-holding. It seems like so many places go out of their way these days to make things perfectly comfortable and easy in order to expand membership but at the expense of quality and the result is a watered down product/experience. MCBJJC is certainly not that. You will work hard, you will learn something if you focus, and you'll probably get a little beat up. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

Great gym. Professor Maycon is honest, generous and knowledgeable. He's definitely an OG and provides the gym with the training structure that's necessary to make great athletes. Professor Kevin has a solid game and is committed to teach. Both of them are there every day not only teaching and oversighting but also training with the students. The training partners are also worth mentioning. The gym has a great pool of males and females of different sizes and everybody is friendly, respectful and generous. I joined the gym not so long ago but my game and my mindset improved a lot.
