"While on work travel, I trained at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Apple Valley. I belong to another Gracie CTC and wanted to train while away from home. I had a great experience and was welcomed with open arms. The atmosphere is great and is like a big family. Coach Jonny is great. I highly recommend training at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Apple Valley!"
Nora Lopez
"We definitely made the best choice coming to Gracie Jujitsu, the idea was just to have our son join for self defense. Until one day sitting and watching Coach Aaron invited us to the mat! It was the best decision and most fun we had together. Today we are happily all enjoying and learning new self defense skills and being part of a great team and academy. Thank you to all the coaches and staff for their great support and daily teachings. Lopez Family"
Claire Lettuce
"We started this week. My daughter is absolutely in love with Jiu Jitsu in just one session, she wanted to do more... next day she went back... and came out saying she thinks the place is fun and she already learned something. As a parent, I get to watch my very active hyper 4 year old, bounce around, regain focus and participate in the class right away, she was included immediately. Instructors are fun, patient, and very good with little kids. Very happy to be part of this program!"
John Dooley
"If your looking for realistic self defense, the instructors here are the right choice. Johnny Vasquez and his assistant instructor Aaron Trobee have helped me break my preconceived notion that I am too old to consistently train in an effective martial art. At 55 I have found a community and a family of like minded people involved in an effective system promoting a positive lifestyle both on and off the mat. Gracie Jiu Jitsu Apple Valley is a direct Gracie lineage certified Gracie Training Center (CTC) with the Gracie's Headquarters in Torrance CA. Both of my sons, ages 18 and 12 attend regular training at Gracie Apple Valley. It's very satisfying to see them both emerge from their experiences better humans, better prepared, empowered, and confident. They have both made great strides in these qualities due to Johnny and Aaron as their role models. This place is awesome!"
