Great vibe!! Coach Josh was very welcoming and gave a great class about S mount with great details. Was able to roll with Kyle, Dean, Chris, Joe and Augustine and was really fun!!!! Different style and pressures. They were ALL great. I learned a lot. I rolled with a black belt guy at the end… don’t remember his name (may be James?). He was going at 2% and I still got killed. Time to sweat more and work on my weaknesses. Highly recommend this Gym!!!!

This is an amazing gym in the South Bay. All instructors are knowledgeable and high-level athletes. The facility is new and well taken care of. The training atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. There were no egos at this gym and everyone was respectful and helpful during training. The pricing is extremely good and the overall value you get here is unmatched. Love training here Highly recommended.

My nephews were enrolled at Golden State BJJ in Torrance, and I must say, I'm impressed by how the professors instilled confidence, courage, and respect in them. From their very first class, the professors made it clear that BJJ is not just about learning self-defense techniques, but also about building character and confidence. They were patient with my nephews, taking the time to explain each move and correcting their mistakes with encouraging words. One thing that really stood out to me was how the professors emphasized the importance of respect. They taught my nephews to bow before entering and leaving the mat, to show respect to their opponents, and to always listen to their teachers. This instilled a sense of discipline and respect in my nephews that has carried over to other areas of their lives. As my nephews progressed through the classes, they became more confident in their abilities. They learned to trust themselves and their instincts, which has helped them overcome challenges both on and off the mat. They also developed courage and resilience, knowing that they could handle themselves in difficult situations. In short, THANK YOU Professor Mike, Dane, and the whole Golden State BJJ Team. Thank You for everything you taught my nephews. Sending our love from Illinois!!!

Dane and Mike are awesome. They are good people, are good at BJJ, and know how to teach. The atmosphere at Golden State is perfect for BJJ. Hard training is encouraged and technicality is emphasized. This helps you get better at BJJ while avoiding injury (as much as possible). I've trained at a lot of academies all over the US and world, and, even with all of the selection of BJJ in LA, I drive out of my way to train with Dane and Mike at Golden State.
