Great place for training in Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, Wrestling, etc. The professor of this gym is Robert. Great man, great teacher, and skilled fighter. The rest of the coaches here are just as skilled. Not only do they train their students for competitions, they teach children and adults alike (male and female) self-defense and discipline. It is also a great place for fitness. For those who are curious and want to learn some martial arts, come on over!

Tao is an excellent BJJ Academy. Everyone here is friendly, respectful, and most importantly eager to teach. Their self defense classes gives each student the skills and confidence to protect themselves and loved ones. The gym is also very clean and well maintained.

I've been on an extended visit to Los Angeles and was looking for a good BJJ gym during my time here. I've been attending the morning classes and the instructor, Marko, has been very welcoming, exceptionally knowledgeable, and passionate. The students themselves are also welcoming, treating me as if I've been with them for years. I feel that the leadership of the gym is genuinely passionate about teaching BJJ as Robert has followed up with me since my first class and worked with me in making sure that I can continue training in the short time I've been here, I've already learned a lot and I would wholeheartedly recommend Tao of Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking for a good BJJ gym in the area!

Great vibe at Tao of Jiu Jitsu, friendly and welcoming! I took the adult gi class, taught by black belt Professor Rob Zorlu, great technique and lots of experience. Professor Rob brings great insight to his students and always maintains focus on the importance of self defense. My son, 6yo, took the kids class and he loved it. Coaches were fun and knowledgeable, they did a great job of teaching jiu jitsu while keeping it fun and safe for the kids. Great school! Would highly recommend if you live or visit the area.

My son and I have been training here for over two years. Absolutely love the atmosphere. The people that train here have become wonderful friends, everyone is eager to learn and teach. The Professor/Owner, Robert Zorlu is a one of a kind dude with a big heart. The kids love him and he always puts thought into giving them not just Jiu Jitsu lessons and great juniors' coaches but also great life lessons that will last them a lifetime. My son started when he was six, he turned nine in July. I've seen his self confidence go through the roof over the last two and a half years and I credit a lot of it to this place.
