Yosi Faynsod
"If you're looking for the best place to train Jiu Jitsu in Los Angeles, Rey Diogo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is it. Whether you're a total beginner or an advanced practitioner, this academy delivers. Professor Rey is not only a highly skilled instructor but also a thoughtful and patient teacher. He doesn't just show you the moves -- he breaks down the why behind every detail and nuance, which makes a huge difference in how you learn and improve. What really sets this place apart is how invested Rey is in his students. He takes a hands-on approach and genuinely cares about your progress. On top of that, he's a warm, kind, and welcoming person, which creates a strong sense of community at the school. It honestly feels more like a family than just a gym. I can't recommend this place enough. If you have the chance to train here, take it."
