What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Gregory Joshua
"I trained at Baza Jiu Jitsu while I was in Los Angeles on business and was highly impressed by everything about the academy. The head coach, Mateus, is a multiple-time world champion so he is an experienced competitor but he has also created an environment that is beneficial for all skill and interest levels. There are two separate mat spaces and a full-fledged fitness facility downstairs. The white studio aesthetic of the interior design lends itself to the concept of Jiu Jitsu being an artform. I would recommend to anyone in the proximity of North Hollywood who has an interest in Jiu Jitsu that they should visit Baza Jiu Jitsu for a life-enhancing experience."

"I'm delighted! I think my son and I have visited all the gyms in Los Angeles. Each has its pros and cons, but even with their pros, the level of training and much more does not suit us π (Maybe it's good for someone, but it doesn't suit us) BAZA is something else π€© To be honest, some people advised me to bring my child to Baza, but I was scepticalπ§ in connection with previous experiences ππΌββοΈ I kept an eye on BAZA and watched them from social media π What can I say, it's beautiful, yes ππΌ! BAZA - Beautiful, modern, clean and bright gym. Very nice atmosphere overall. Discipline is very important to me and it is here π Professor Mateus Rodriguez a world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I fully trust and I am sure with this level of training, children will grow up strong and successful. I highly recommend BAZA to anyone who looking for a world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for you or your kids. No doubt ππΌπͺπΌ All coaches are great and helpful π«ΆπΌ Unfortunately In many gyms, training lasts only 1 hour. I think it is impossible to learn anything properly in one hour. In BAZA training lasts longer and is of better quality. I also want to note the children are very friendly and help each other, which is very valuable. No arrogance, no show-offs β€οΈ I am very selective in many things and very attentive to details. I can confidently say that BAZA is the place we were looking for π«ΆπΌ Btw , there is also GYM downstairs π"

"Baza is an incredible academy that offers a high end space to train jiu jitsu in North Hollywood, CA. Professor Mateus Rodrigues is a World Champion and his training is nothing short of amazing! He is detailed, kind, professional and disciplined. Mateus is still actively competing and well versed with the most current knowledge on technique and skill. With his guidance and expertise you will see jiu jitsu champions come out of his academy for years to come. This place is exactly what my son needed to help elevate his game while feeling like this is our second home. Their full gym on the second level is an added bonus! We love Baza and our growing Baza family!"
