Excellence School of Jiu-Jitsu

“This is the best jiu-jitsu gym I’ve ever been to. Eduardo is an outstanding teacher and coach, creating an environment where training feels like you’re among family”

“Iv been training with Professor Eduardo since 2017. I trained a a few other gyms before my friend recommending me to try out ESJJ, and man am i glad I made the jump. Eduardo has the most patience when it comes to teaching jiu jitsu from beginner to really advanced techniques. There has been times where life gets busy and I’m not training for weeks/months at a time and Eduardo will reach out personally and see what’s going on. He cares a lot about his students on and off the mats. If you’re looking to start or try a class or even further your jiu jitsu journey I recommend Eduardo and his academy to anyone and everyone! Best school in the south bay! Thank your professor!”

“This gym saved me during covid. My cousin Beau said there is amazing jiu jitsu in that academy that has blocked out the windows during the pandemic, just enter through the back alley. Once i did it changed my life. I haven’t competed in 20 years. Eduardo, Syang, Bruno, Zaca, and all the ESJJ family pushed me to get back out there and push myself, and to get healthy again. You have been so kind to me, my kids and all my friends and family i have recommended to come train. The name reflects the results. A school of excellence! Osss”

“Professor Santoro and his wife Syangy are awesome coaches and all around incredible people. They are very patient and care deeply about each and every one of their students. This gym is great for all levels and ages of BJJ players, from kids to adults and beginners to very advanced. Professor Santoro enjoys the art of teaching BJJ and is a multiple time world champion. If you're wanting to explore BJJ, learn self defense, elevate your BJJ game, or just meet new people and practice healthy habits - you need to join this gym. All of the members are very friendly and caring. I've been training here for a year and a half and absolutely love the place, Professor Santoro, Syangy, and the entire ESJJ family! See you on the mat. :)”

“Eduardo Santoro is one of the best athletes on the history of jiu jitsu. And a great teacher. And this becomes even better with the junction with another legend of jiu jitsu that is the Cobrinha. Eduardo santoro has a great teaching with children and adults! I've trained with him for a long time in Sao Paulo and now Torrance has the honor of having the best Jiu Jitsu.”
