AK AA

"I cannot recommend MLG Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-MMA highly enough! From the moment I walked into the gym, I was greeted by the friendly and professional staff, making me feel right at home. The coaches are exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable, ensuring that every class is both challenging and enjoyable for practitioners of all levels. The sense of community at MLG is truly unique; everyone is supportive and eager to help each other improve. The facilities are top-notch, always clean and well-maintained, providing a safe and comfortable environment for training. Whether you're looking to compete seriously or just get fit while learning self-defense, this is the perfect place. I've seen incredible improvements in both my skills and fitness since joining. MLG Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-MMA is hands down the best gym I've been part of!"

Kendru Vega

"I recently stopped by MLG Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-MMA during a weekend trip to compete in the IBJJF Worlds and I was thoroughly impressed! Even as a casual visitor, I was welcomed warmly and felt the incredible energy that this gym radiates. Having trained under Professor Walber Barros at Upper Academy, I was eager to experience what MLG offered. The facility is top-notch, with impeccable cleanliness and a high-energy environment. I observed Professor Marco in action, and his interaction with students was nothing short of inspiring. His coaching style is efficient and supportive, reflecting his depth of knowledge and passion for the sport. Though my visit was short, the warmth and professionalism displayed by everyone at MLG left a lasting impression. If you're in the area and looking for a place that embodies excellence and community in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MLG is the place to be. Highly recommend!"

"There is no better to coach to learn from. Professor Marcos Loro Galvao teaches at a high level but is able to explain each move and provide clear instruction. The team pushes hard but is always supportive. Higher belts always take time to help beginners. I train here along with my son and daughter. Both had other coaches in the past, but Professor Loro brings out their best. If you live in the Calimesa, Yucaipa, and Beaumont area, there is no better place to learn from."

Heather Garcia

"We’ve been training at MLG for a few months & we absolutely love it. Professor Galvao is truly the best. His expertise in BJJ & warmth on and off the mat have helped my son grow tremendously. Professor takes his time with each student & we are so blessed to have joined this amazing gym! :)"
