Jaime Anzaldo
"I was lucky enough to find Connect BJJ. The instructors are friendly and patient. This community is very supportive. My teammates are willing to help. This place is perfect for older adults as well as young people. I can’t say enough positive things about coaches Becker, Juan , Gilbert and Andrew. At 52 years old I have never felt this good. My condition keeps getting better and better. I have better mobility. If your looking to get started in BJJ to improve your health or self defense this is awesome place for that. See you on the mat."

The school has a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that makes you feel like part of a family from day one. The instructors are exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about helping each student reach their full potential. They focus on both technique and personal growth, ensuring that you not only become a better martial artist but also build confidence and discipline in every aspect of life. The classes are well-structured, challenging, and cater to all skill levels. Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, or pursue martial arts at a competitive level, this school offers something for everyone. I can’t recommend CheckMat LA enough to anyone looking to start or continue their martial arts journey!”"
Gavaniel Naranjo
"A couple of years ago I knew I needed to make some changes in my life. I was unsure of myself, unhealthy and with little motivation so, I decided to make a change. I was tired of going to local gyms and going the same routines so I needed something new. I kept hearing great things about BJJ so o decided to look for a local school and give it a try. Best decision I ever made. The coach was awesome, your training partners are great and the actual sport of Jiujitsu changed my life. The great part was, you can start at any age. I started at 42 and glad I made that choice. I dropped 40lbs and has helped my confidence in my days to day. Best decision I ever made."
Marvin De Leon
"This place is amazing, Becker and his team makes you feel welcome every time you walk into the gym, Highly recommend if you want to learn good jiujitsu and self defense."
