Pedigo Submission Fighting Los Angeles - Jiu Jitsu

“Hands down the best place there is! I joined the gym earlier this year and had absolutely 0 experience or any sort of training background. I was very nervous and shy but once I went in I was immediately put at ease. Our coach Derek is amazing, kind, and very patient. The other teammates are also great and the upper belts help out in extreme detail. The parking is also convenient and the area is very chill. If you’ve been searching for a gym to join I recommend you stop because this is the one.”

“I had an incredible experience training at Pedigo Submission Fighting in Hawthorne. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and supportive. Derek, the head instructor, is not only a world-class coach, but also a genuinely great person who takes the time to connect with every student and visitor. You can tell the culture here is all about elevating everyone on the mats, whether you’re a seasoned grappler or just dropping in for the first time. One of the coolest parts? No drop-in fee for visitors. That kind of hospitality speaks volumes about the team and the community they’ve built. Everyone I trained with was respectful, skilled, and just cool to be around. Whether you’re in town for work or just passing through, this is hands down one of the best jiu-jitsu gyms in Los Angeles to train at. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in SoCal. Thanks again to Derek and the crew for making it such a memorable visit.”

“I just moved to Hawthorne, and I immediately went to try out Derek's gym. Everyone was super welcoming and made me feel at home. Derek's instructions is excellent and there are lots of good people to roll with. I'm excited to keep training here.”
