Been training here for almost 5 years. I couldn't have found a better place to train. Matt, the instructor and owner of the academy, is an excellent teacher. Everyone who trains here feels welcome and at home, and I'm sure you will too. If you're looking for a place to improve your self-defense skills or learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu, this is a great place to learn. All the students here are great and care about having good experiences while training.

Matt and other instructors are really knowledgeable about BJJ , they teach students with patience and passion. I only took few trial classes at this gym , then moved to another other city due to work but will definitely come back again when I’m ready to make the commitment.

I highly highly recommend Gracie jujitsu La Jolla, and give them six out of five possible stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Why? Gracie jujitsu is a local family owned martial arts studio for decades, in the heart of the Jolla. Gracie jujitsu has been a huge support of youth within the community, and throughout San Diego, as well as adults in offering classes for self-defense, truly to help each, and everyone of us, feel a little stronger, more confident, and capable of handling ourselves. Should the situation arise. In just one class, I learned a move that literally helped me feel stronger as I had been into compromising situations in public within the last six months where I felt very vulnerable when I was approached. I realized self-defense for me at 57 is something that I need to learn. I also felt more confident And I can’t wait to continue this journey with Gracie jujitsu La Jolla The owners are incredible as is their team of Masters and professionals! I am truly grateful for Gracie, jujitsu, La Jolla, and the Becker family for all they do to give back, for their kindness, their generosity to our communities, and for teaching me self-defense, along with my friends and teens! Thank you, Gracie, jujitsu, La Jolla!

My son has been going to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in La Jolla for a few years now. Not only does he love going to learn this art but the skills set, technique, and values that are taught are just what we are looking for. It has made my son a better person and he carries himself confidently. I can not recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in La Jolla enough!

I think I've been training here long enough to give a proper review. The atmosphere here is one of kindness and safety for yourself and your training partner. If you want to join a gym where your safety is top priority and you're learning real life self defense skills, I highly recommend at least trying out the 10 day free trial. You'll be hooked! If you're wondering "what if I'm not flexible enough? What if l... what if.. what if...?", know that coach Matt is highly accommodating and can modify any of the techniques to fit your body. You'll be taken care of here! 5/5 world class gym. If you join and keep coming, I promise you'll gain an incredible amount of confidence in yourself.
