"It would be an understatement to say that Gazze Academy helped me lose weight. It’s more accurate to say it changed my life. While i can personally attest to the benefits I’ve experienced physically, down 28 pounds and counting, the true change has come from the community at the gym. Professor Gazze is a beacon of positivity in each class he runs but he is not alone as the other instructors like Gio, Ryan and Francisco have pushed me to be better all around. I’ve made great friends and although it’s a great class, it feels like a community of driven and positive people who are all working together to improve each other. I cannot fully put to words what this jiu jitsu gym in Huntington Beach has done for me, because it continues to help me grow into a more confident, stronger individual. Thank you to professor and everyone else who has pushed me. You guys are the reason I cannot stop getting friends and family into the sport and specifically this gym. I’ve attached some photos: a couple of the community and one showcasing the change Jiu Jitsu has had on my physique in the past couple months I’ve been enrolled. If you’re thinking about joining but your not sure, just walk through the door. You may be one decision away from being the best version of yourself."

"I became friends with Junior a few years ago and his jiu jitsu academy in Huntington Beach has transformed many parts of my life. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful - we all want to succeed and learn together. Junior teaches in a way that makes it easy to understand because he uses real world analogies. His priority is to make sure you learn technique and not get injured. I've been training here for a few months, but will train here for many years!"

"I just took my first Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai classes at Gazze Academy, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! For the Jiu-Jitsu class, I had the opportunity to learn from the owner, Junior Gazze. He was incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and brought a wealth of experience to the mat. As the only woman in the class, I felt completely comfortable and supported. The entire group was respectful, helpful, and genuinely encouraged my learning. In the Muay Thai class, I trained with Seuua Daao. Wow, he was amazing. His passion for the art is contagious. Not only did he correct my form with care, but he also shared valuable insight into the history and tradition of Muay Thai. His energy, wisdom, and motivation made a lasting impact. The conditioning circuit was both challenging and empowering. I walked out feeling stronger, more confident, and inspired. Also, the gym is very clean, well-maintained, and organized, which made the overall experience even better. Highly recommend!"
