What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Garrett C. Phillips
"The training and instruction is second to none. The teachers are true experts of the craft and they guide every student and instruct them at their own pace and skill level with class and kindness. Brent, the head coach and owner is truly one of the most kind and gifted teachers, and a terrific BJJ player. There is a strong culture at the school, not only of martial arts but of family. There’s no ego, to brooding, none of that. All of the coaches instruction is world class, in most cases, literally. From some of the most elite BJJ players, commentators, and all around world champions, Subconscious provides one of the most conducive environments to learn. Subconscious holds some of the most exclusive seminars with opportunities to learn from some of the greatest names in BJJ: Roger Gracie, Gordon Ryan, Kit Dale, the list goes on. On top of that, there’s the annual Joshua Tree trips and access to all the affiliate schools. Subconscious, In my opinion, is one of the best and strongest academy’s out, certainly the best in Los Angeles."
Gareth Symons
"I moved to California two years ago to train at Subconscious BJJ. My Jiu Jitsu journey introduced me to school director Nicholas Gregoriades. When we met, he invited me along with my training partners to, if in California stop by for a class. Intentionally I moved to LA to train with Nic (knowing his brother Jason) and also gym owner Brent Burniston. Best thing I ever did. A week after arriving I reached out to Brent, attended my first class and it’s felt like home ever since. I love the saying, enter for the Jiu Jitsu and stay for the community. The quality of people and the level of training is the best I’ve experienced. Absolutely World Class!"

"Love this place! The professors and coaches are the best. My kids have been going for over a year and it is such a great experience for them. Professor Tim is the best kids coach I've been around! They are now in a new space and it's wonderful!"
Daniel Levi
"Went to Subconscious BJJ today while visiting LA from out of town. Everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming, and the training environment is spacious and clean. I couldn't recommend Subconscious BJJ more for beginners and higher belts alike. Will definitely be going back! Also, just on a side note, their main instructor Professor Brent is a black belt under Jean Jacques Machado. You cannot go wrong training under a lineage like that. Thank you Subconscious BJJ for the great training experience!"
