I have been training at Caique for 4 months and the classes are great. All of the instructors are extremely helpful and patient. Highly recommend!
Caique Jiu Jitsu is the perfect place to not only learn Jiu Jitsu but also self defense that applies in real world situations. They offer the most amount of classes all year round and a large locker room w showers. Instructors Thomaz and Pedro are top notch. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to learn
Great gym that teaches great techniques and great teachers. Thomaz and Pedro really care about everyone growth in the sport and overall safety. It's a great gym that's well rounded. You can come here to train for competition or just as a hobby. Been training for about 5 years here myself and looking forward to many more. Highly recommended for all age groups young and old!
Well, almost about to be a year into this journey when I first started looking for a place I wasn’t too sure where to start after stopping by to all the local gyms in my area asking questions and reading the reviews finally went with caique jiu-jitsu and sure enough, everything I read on the reviews were right I’m not as Young as I used to be So I needed somewhere I can learn not just compete with one another but still get A good roll session not to mention no big egos so a great place to start learning to Start learning jiu-jitsu and they also have kids Classes
The community at Caique is truly exceptional. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt an immediate sense of belonging. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, everyone here is incredibly supportive and kind. The instructors are in a league of their own—highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about teaching. They have a remarkable talent for breaking down complex techniques into simple, digestible steps, allowing you to progress confidently no matter your experience level.
Caique takes pride in providing a top-notch environment, and it shows. The studio is immaculate, with thoughtful amenities like showers and mouthwash that ensure a fresh, distraction-free training experience. You can see the care and dedication the owners put into maintaining a safe and welcoming space, prioritizing the health and well-being of every student.
What truly sets Caique apart, though, is the sense of community that goes beyond just physical training. The camaraderie here makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger—a supportive family that pushes you to achieve your best. The easy-to-use log-in system helps you track your progress and keeps you motivated to reach new milestones.
If you're serious about taking your skills to the next level and want to be part of a tight-knit, welcoming community, Caique is the place to be. Their gi is also top quality! But don’t just take my word for it—come and experience the difference yourself. You won’t regret it!
I really like coming here. Thomasz is very attentive. Dale is a very patient and knowledgeable instructor. The space is large, mats are kept clean, and there are a lot of classes on the schedule. The online videos corresponding to the week's lessons are very helpful for practicing at home and knowing what to expect.
Outstanding facility and instruction. You will not find better training or group of people to train with.
Don't hesitate if you have been thinking about starting. You will not be thrown to the wolves when you begin! You will be taught BJJ in a safe and positive environment.
Caique Jiu Jitsu is the best place to learn and train brazilian jiu jitsu. You'll get great instruction from beginner's, intermediate and advance classes. The concepts, techniques and moves are self defense based and practical. You won't see any crazy acrobatic moves taught here!
I've been traing here for a long time and it's great to see the growth and improvement from all the people who started well after me.
Want to learn bjj and self defense? Improve your physical and mental health?
Join up!
Caique Jiu-Jitsu is an outstanding gym for anyone looking to dive into jiu jitsu for applicable self-defense. After years of contemplating taking up jiu jitsu, I finally made the leap when I grew tired of my doctor warning me about my high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. Despite feeling young at heart, my body was telling me otherwise, and it was time to make a change.
The instructors at Caique—Professors Thomaz, Dale, James, and Pedro—are exceptional. They foster an encouraging and supportive environment that allows you to learn at your own pace. They understand that everyone progresses differently, and they tailor their instruction to meet you where you are, whether you're brand new to jiu-jitsu or looking to sharpen your skills.
If you have any doubts, just stop by the gym and observe a class, take a trial class, or talk to any member of the gym. We’d happily talk to you about our experience.
And for those curious, after nearly two years at Caique, my doctor no longer warns me about any of those above mentioned health issues.
I have been with this academy since October of 2002. I received all of my colored belts through Master Caique. I have moved to La Palma over the years. That is a one hour drive and I still attend this academy. The instruction is the best that you will ever find and the lineage is as pure as mountain water (all the way to Helio Gracie and Rickson Gracie). The focus is always on self defense so it is taught first and foremost as a martial art. But plenty of attention is also paid to techniques for the sport of jiu jitsu. If you feel less than prepared for the reality of the street, then you might want to rethink your mindset. You won’t find a better academy.
My daughter (7) and I (>40) both started a year ago as our first experiences with jiu jitsu. We have both really enjoyed it and try to go as much as we possibly can. The staff is very welcoming, patient, and work closely with the members to help them improve. I really appreciate their approach to teaching. I would recommend Caique Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to anyone.
My daughter and I have been members of Caique JJ Academy since 2017 - so this review is well overdue. Master Caique is a highly-respected, 8th degree coral belt under Rickson Gracie. He has passed on a wealth of knowledge onto his sons Pedro and Thomaz, as well as many other black belts who regularly teach and train here. At Caique's, you will learn classical, self-defense jiu-jitsu, get in great shape (physically and mentally), meet people from all walks of life, and attend so often it will start to feel like a second home. Whether you are a newbie, with some martial arts experience, or already an advanced BJJ practitioner, this place will greet you at whatever level. My daughter attends the Teens class these days, where she continues to learn to how to deal with challenges/adversity and build her self-confidence. Bottom line - I recommend anyone interested in training to give this place a try!
I've been to a few schools and Caique's is by far the best. The classes aren't overcrowded and the instruction is top tier. The range of class times is also perfect for us as my wife and kids go mid-day (yes, Caique jiu jitsu is a homeschool vendor!) with classes in the evening that allow for all of us to train. The staff is consistently positive, patient, and encouraging.
The instructors at Caique Bjj are top-notch. They are so knowledgeable and constantly try to improve their curriculum and meet the needs of the students no matter what your level or experience is. The self defense aspect of BJJ continues to be a core offering in all the lessons. I highly recommend this academy for both men women and kids who want improve themselves as well as learn something useful they carry through the rest of their lives.
We love Caique Jiu Jitsu. My whole family is involved in training here, including my kids who have been participating for years. I appreciate the small class sizes for the kids, which allows for individual attention. Not only are my kids learning jiu jitsu, but they are also learning how to use their words in a bully situation. The atmosphere at Caique Jiu Jitsu is always enjoyable, and my kids eagerly anticipate their training sessions. As a woman training in jiu jitsu, I have experienced nothing but kindness and respect. I always feel welcomed when I attend classes. The instructors are both patient and knowledgeable, and the variety of class times accommodates my busy schedule. Caique Jiu Jitsu is an excellent place to train, and I highly recommend it.
Caique Jiujitsu is my first BJJ program and so far I have had a great experience. The instructors I have worked mostly with are Dale and Damien and they have been absolutely amazing and patient with my learning of new techniques.This sport is way out of my comfort zone but the Caique BJJ team work well with easing people in, of all backgrounds, and always make sure us students are safe.
They offer classes all week, for different levels at different times of the day, which really helps with people working long workdays. They are also very family oriented and one of the few places in town that will allow you to bring your children who can sit in the lobby during class; that was a huge factor for me when trying to find a place to train.
I'm very grateful for Professor Thomaz and his team. I'm looking forward to continuing to work on my skills and enhancing my BJJ techniques.
I’ve recently started my BJJ journey at Caique, & I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far! As someone who’s never done submission grappling, I was very nervous starting out but the welcoming environment quickly changed that around!
The professors at Caique are amazing! Each one brings their own unique approach/ expertise to the mat, making each class challenging and enjoyable.
Highly recommend checking out this gym!
(P.S - I commute about 30mins to and back; this gym is definitely worth the drive!) :)
Great instruction in a friendly environment. The instructors have a depth of knowledge that spans decades and are constantly analyzing movements to make them more efficient. The facilities are clean and the students welcoming.
My kids and I have been going here for over 5+years. Instructors are all very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The self defense learned & confidence gained is invaluable. The only thing you will regret is not starting earlier.
Highly recommend training here! You will get world class instruction from all the coaches and tons of great training partners of all ages/skill levels. Lots of class times to choose from, clean facilities, and good vibes.
Caiquie Jiu Jitsu is an outstanding martial arts academy with knowledgeable instructors who create a welcoming and supportive training environment. The classes are well-structured and engaging, providing a great balance of technique work and sparring. I have seen significant improvement in my jiu-jitsu skills and highly recommend Caiquie Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to learn in a fun and supportive setting. I highly recommend Caiquie Jiu Jitsu if you want to learn self defense. Great for kids and adults.

Caique is an incredible gym for anyone interested in improving their jiu-jitsu skills and their life. I began as a student to learn self defense, but in the two years since I started have learned so much more that has had a positive impact on myself and those around me. The instructors are top notch and work with each student to positively guide them on their own BJJ journey. With classes for kids and adults, there’s something for everyone. The lessons I’ve learned at Caique have made me a better version of myself, and I’m excited to continue my journey there for years to come.
If you have any interest in exploring the world of jiu-jitsu, I implore you to try Caique. I’m confident it will positively impact your skills and your life the same way it has mine.
Living in the South Bay you have plenty of options to train bjj, but choosing the right academy is crucial in your learning, and life experience's. Caique BJJ has changed my life not only on the mats, but the confidence and problem solving skills I’ve obtained since training at Caique BJJ. The professors and students that train there is like a family, and the professors mentorship is world class. I promise you won’t find a better academy any where else in the South Bay.
I have been training at Caique BJJ for 15 years and it is like my second home. There is a very friendly environment and the general feel of the academy is one of a very big family. I have trained at various academies all over the world over and Caique is the highest caliber of school both for children and adults. If you are in the South Bay and are looking for an academy to begin training or if you are just visiting I would definitely recommend coming by Caique!
The instruction and atmosphere is top notch at Caique. The instructors are very detail oriented and genuinely care about the students progress and safety. For kids or adult classes this is the place.
Caique BJJ has been a great experience for me! There’s always a variety of times for classes to work around your schedule, and the instructors present the curriculum in a way that is easy to comprehend and put into action. I’m glad I made the choice to start my BJJ journey here!
CJJ instruction is just plain excellent. With lineage tightly linked to the BJJ founders, the Elias family has created something very special here. Small classes with very experienced instructors who teach in a positive, detailed and organized fashion is the norm. The student population seems filled with really nice people making this an enjoyable place to train. CJJ is so family friendly that my whole family trains here! The kids love it and my son has already had to use the anti-bully techniques ultimately resulting in a sweep to the mount and an armbar on an aggressive bigger kid who liked throwing smaller kids to the ground and sitting on them. Bottom line is that you should bring your family to this excellent school and train…train a little or a lot, you won’t regret it.
Joined Caique a few years ago and is by far the best gym I have trained at. Classes are very structured focusing on high percentage techniques and atmosphere is very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone regardless experience level.
I’ve been training here at Caique’s for over 10 years and it’s by far the best school i’ve ever trained at. My kids and girlfriend train here as well. The instruction is amazing and professional and personal. Thomas and Pedro and Master Caique along with all the people I train with have become like family and I cannot recommend this school with any more enthusiasm. Love this place! It’s my therapy and like another home to me!
I wish I found Caique Jiu-jitsu earlier in life. I definitely recommend this location if your interested in training and learning BJJ and self defense. Very clean and professional academy. I've learned alot at Caique BJJ and will continue my jiu jitsu journey here at this location.
A very welcoming environment for a beginner. Starting a new sport can be intimidating and stressful but the instructors and class structure make it an enjoyable experience !
Fantastic instructors and welcoming peers. Not once have I felt intimidated or discouraged and that’s huge when you’re starting from scratch. I signed up for the physical aspect but stayed for what it’s done for my mental health. Noticeably clean and accommodating. Caique and his sons have a lineage to be proud of and I’m proud to be a part of this affiliate.
My kids have been in jiu-jitsu jitsu class for 3 months. It's a great class and experience for them. It's a great blend of training, real life bully sinario teaching, ans fun games that enforce techniques that are covered in class. The instructors are great with kids and really make the most of every minute of class.
As a student at Caique, I can honestly say that joining was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Every class here is more than just a workout; it's a journey into the heart of what it means to be resilient, disciplined, and mentally strong. The moment you step onto the mats, you feel a sense of inclusion and respect that's hard to find elsewhere. The instructors are phenomenal - not just in their technical expertise, but in their ability to connect with every student. They have this unique talent for breaking down complex techniques into something approachable, making the learning process both fun and highly effective.
One of the things I love most about this academy is the community. It's diverse, welcoming, and supportive. We cheer for each other's successes and help each other through the tough times. It's not just about individual growth but about growing together. This sense of camaraderie extends beyond the mats, creating friendships that last a lifetime.
The facilities are top-notch, with clean, and spacious mats. Whether your goal is to get in shape, learn self-defense, or compete, this place has everything you need to succeed. But it's not just the physical aspect that makes this academy special. It's the mental and emotional growth that comes from training here. I've gained confidence, resilience, and a sense of inner strength that I carry into every aspect of my life.
For anyone considering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I can't recommend this academy enough. It's not just about learning a martial art; it's about transforming your life. You'll be challenged, you'll grow, and you'll have a lot of fun along the way. Come join us on the mats, and let's embark on this incredible journey together!
Caique Jiu Jitsu is an A+ company that provides exceptional Jiu Jitsu training for both kids and adults. Our experience with them was fantastic, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu.
The instructors at Caique Jiu Jitsu are highly knowledgeable and experienced, and they create a welcoming and supportive environment for all students. They focus on teaching the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu, which is essential for building a strong foundation for students to build upon.
BJJ is great, but its best at Caique Jiu Jitsu. Great environment, great instruction, good lineage and its very fun and excellent for your health. I would highly recommend this school to anyone from competitors to hobbyists.
These coaches here are very nice people it’s a very nice academy for any level to learn in GI, it felt very genuine and very Brazilian Jiu Jitsu authentic. This is coming from a professional fighter I think it’s a friendly gym I stopped by because of a good friend Mike I trully recommend it for kids or adults 🙏
This place is a blessing to the community and our kids. Pedro is amazing with them and fosters confidence, camaraderie, discipline, and positivity. It's so much more than just an activity for the kids. It's an amazing gift.
Started training again after a few years off at a different academy. Only great things to say about Caique. Great instruction, outstanding lineage (if you care about that) and a good mix of self defense, old school pressure style and newer school Jiu Jitsu. A wide variety of class times, including earlier mornings which are key for me. Lots of colored belts on the mats. Any advance class has a bunch of black belts rolling in addition to Pedro and Thomaz who are great instructors. My kids also go, and the children’s program is very good. Most importantly the overall vibe of the academy is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended spot.
Caique Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic place to learn! Family owned and operated. I look forward to their instruction because they are patient, friendly, and caring. I will continue to be a student there for a long time.
We love it here! Our son has been a member for a while now and we could not be happier! Positive environment, great for teaching kids focus and discipline, wonderful for self defense and for teaching kids how to deal with bullying. Instructors are kind and helpful. Overall a wonderful experience and I'd recommend Caique to anyone.
My family and I have been training at Caique for several years now. The Academy Staff has a vested interest in your growth as a student (both as a person and as a Jiu jitsu practitioner). The learning environment is awesome and the curriculum is very well thought out. I would highly recommended this academy to anyone who wants to learn traditional self defense based jiu jitsu.
Outstanding academy and instructors, came through from an Affiliate and was treated like I belonged from the time I arrived. The class and drills were spot on and definitely in line with traditional Jiu-Jitsu. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it. Good group of solid dudes
As a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner for over 20 years I can tell you that this is the place to learn authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. They teach the self-defense program which in my opinion is a must for anyone learning Jiu-Jitsu.
Awesome academy. I've trained under Master Caique for over 20 years and can say with certainty he and his sons offer the highest quality of Jiu-Jitsu instruction. They are very well regarded and have high integrity.
Master Caique and his 2 sons Professor Pedro and Professor Tomaz have created an optimal environment to learn and to train. There are no egos here just people lifting up people so that every student sees success in their journey. Caique Jiu-Jitsu is great for everybody whether you are a beginner or advanced student, here you receive the details that come straight from the source, nothing is lost and nothing is watered down, the way it should be. This is truly a place where you can focus on learning. I am very honored to have the opportunity to learn from these men and proud to call myself a Caique Jiu-Jitsu black belt.
I have been a part of the Caique Jiu Jitsu family for more than half of my life! The experience these guys have combined is incredible and I feel like their approach to teaching is perfect for anyone no matter what their goals are! Whether it is for exercise, learning to protect yourself, competing, they can help you with all of the above. I would recommend this to all who are interested in learning Jiu Jitsu and can honestly say that you will be treated like family!
The best Jiu-Jitsu Academy.on earth. A very welcoming environment for all types of practitioners. First timers, novice, intermediate, and advanced. This is a family run facility offering program opportunities for all ages male and female. I would not train anywhere else.
Master Caique is Elias is one of only eight non-Gracies ever to receive his black belt directly from Hélio Gracie. His academy embodies the Gracie's spirit and the essence of Jiu Jitsu. Environment friendly for all. I recommend giving it a try. Your life will change! #jiujistusaves
When you are in the Los Angeles area, don't miss the opportunity to stop by at Caique Jiu-Jitsu Academy and train with one of the best. It is one of the best places to learn Jiu-Jitsu from the roots of the Gracie family. I guarantee you will have one of the best Jiu-Jitsu experiences.
When I am in Southern California this is the place I visit to train. Caique learned directly from Grandmaster Helio Gracie, and Pedro and Thomaz (his sons) are incredible instructors with tremendous jiu-jitsu and self-defense knowledge. Their academy is always clean, showers available for use, and a great welcoming environment overall!
A great bunch of guys who not only know the sport and the discipline very well they very much know how to teach jujitsu
Anyone will like the environment parking is very easy and everyone is very friendly and the instructors stay for a long time no turnover
I have thoroughly enjoyed learning BJJ (CJJ!) at this gym as a novice in his 40’s. The instructors are top notch! I appreciate the wide array of classes and times offered. The facilities are clean, spacious, and well taken care of. In short, my time at this gym has been great and I have learned so much about myself. I highly recommend coming in and checking it out.
I can’t express just how great this Jui Jitsu class is for young kids. Not only is it good exercise but the instructors are amazing and give the kids a good confidence boost as well as great coping tools to deal with aggressive episodes by school bullies.
I’ve been with this family since 2002. I am still amazed at how much I am learning and growing. Master Caique, Professor Pedro, and Professor Thomaz teach the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu that was envisioned by Grandmaster Hélio and Grandmaster Rickson Gracie. Stay close to the source!
Caique Jiu Jitsu literally saved my life! After gaining 100+ pounds when I lost my thyroid, I could hardly move, let alone look at myself in the mirror. I could feel myself creeping closer and closer to death when I started training at Caique's. It was tough at first, but I didn't take long for me to begin losing weight, gaining stamina, and increasing flexibility. My mental outlook vastly increased as well as I gained more confidence in myself and my fitness.
I lost 70+ pounds in the first year alone and now I cant imagine my life without jiu jitsu. The staff at Caique Jiu Jitsu is very knowledgeable, and truly wants to help all of their students succeed. I have made many great friends, and feel truly blessed to have such a positive experience in my life. I would recommend this place to anyone, no matter your physical fitness level or previous martial arts experience.
Absolutely the place to learn authentic self defense Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The instructors care, clean facility, all the amenities (showers, parking, 2 mats spaces) Adults and youth programs. Can’t recommend enough!
Training at Caique Jiu Jitsu Academy has been the one of the best things happened in my life. I've been training at the academy for 5 years and always feel blessed and inspired by Professor Thomas and Pedro for their devotion to Jiu Jitsu and care for the students.
Even to this day after 5 years, I was blown away by them to see the emphasis of basic techniques of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. You may see and learn all the fancy techniques from videos or other school what not, but their efforts to teach the basics so prominent that I was always amazed to see the new students transformed to real good Jiu Jitsu practitioners.
Now my two kids train together, and I can hardly wait to see the transformation later, too. Not only the intention to train the kids to be good at Jiu Jitsu, but as athletic soccer players, I'm 100% sure it will help them greater for their soccer journey, too.
And one day, they will also see the greatness of Gracie Jiu Jitsu and thank me I introduced them.😀🥰
Caique Jiu Jitsu has help me in a journey to better health, confidence and much more.
Thank you team Caique for everything you do. Much love!!!
Sincerely
Jonnie Lee Gourd
My 6 year old son has been coming here for about 2 years. I am so impressed with the instructors and how they work with the children. My son is very hyperactive and needs to be kept on task, the instructors are firm and consistent with him. Not only do they teach them jiu jitsu but they also teach them respect and how to be a better person. This is more than just self defense and I am grateful for their guidance.
My son has been attending classes for almost a year and he absolutely loves it here. Never has complained about coming...not even once! We love the care and attention Pedro, Brennan and John put into the classes as well as the individual attention they pay to each and every student. My son has gone from being very timid to being someone who I feel could protect me from an attack. Now he tells me,at 13, that he wants to protect me from bad guys. It’s pretty neat to see this transformation. In addition to learning jiu jitsu, we really appreciate the life lessons and positive teachings they discuss at the end of class. I couldn’t be happier with the progress my son is making and we plan to be here for years to come! Thank you to all of wonderful teachers at Caique Jiu Jitsu!
Our 14 year old boy has been a member of the academy for 6 years now. Our 8 year old daughter started 2 years ago. Hands-down, the best activity our kids participate in. Ton of fun. Plus, the skills they’ve learned are immensely valuable for both self-defense and confidence. Academy culture is family-oriented, friendly and open to all, kids and parents. Can’t say enough about the quality of instruction. Each session is planned out and organized, with each individual move within the session explained, demo'd and drilled through sparring. Discipline/fun ratio is dialed in perfectly. Pedro, Brennan and John are awesome, and fantastic role models. Very appreciative of the Caique team and what they've given our kids.
Caique BJJ has instructors who care about their students. They have a family atmosphere while teaching techniques that cover a wide range of situations, from defending ourselves to getting us ready for competition. There's a reason why Rickson asked Caique's sons to be his partner on his instructional. I'm fortunate to have found this place.
Best Jiu Jitsu place in RPV
The instructors are patient and really pay attention to safety and learning the techniques correctly. I recommend trying it for a free session.
I love this place very much. It's a great place to learn self defence for any age. When I started my classes they gave me a free trail and I learned many ways to protect myself, especially against people larger than me. I have been in caique for almost two years and it was a great confidence builder as well as a way to focus my stress elsewhere. Now I can lift and throw people twice my size when before I could barely lift my own size. The instructors are great and always put safety first before anything else. I'm sure it will be a very long time before I leave this academy to pursue a new passion because jiu jitsu is my current passion. You could be the calmest, shyest, and most timid person there is but sooner or later you will open up and have enough confidence to open out. I for one think of the academy as second family, cause that's how they treat me and everyone else.
I've been going to this school for a while now and I have to say that this academy is the best in the South Bay , I have learned more from this place then at any of my previous martial arts experiences
This is great place to learn jiu jitsu. If you are in Lomita or anywhere in the Los Angeles area, this is the place to train jiu jitsu and learn self defense. The training is world class and so is the staff.
Holy shnapps!!!!!!!! Caique Jiujitsu is the best. My old coach told me " every roll is a hard f**king roll" he was a Caique Purp old skool tho in the garden.. I'm signing again up this week.....all of you owe it to yourself to learn how you rock and roll.
You did dream of being a rockstar right ?
A year ago if you had told me Jiu-Jitsu would be my thing, I would have laughed, I'm a dancer...but meeting, and now training with Master Caique, and his incredible sons, Prof. Pedro & Prof. Thomaz has changed my thinking. What an opportunity to learn this empowering martial art from a legend and his legacy. They are the best of the best. I'm adding Caique Jiu-Jitsu to my training regime! :)
I trained here back in 2010 for a year and it was a great academy. I recommend it to anybody serious about learning jiu-jitsu. I will be going back soon!
This school is amazing. The instructors are very skilled and knowledgeable. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best Jiu Jitsu school in Southern California. Pedro and Tomas are not just instructors, they have also proven their Jiu Jitsu skills at tournaments meaning they know how to use Jiu Jitsu techniques. If anyone is seriously interested in learning Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to learn. I travel more than 50 miles to train at this dojo and I drive past many others without even thinking about them. This dojo makes you earn your stripes and belts. Nothing is given here.
One of best things happened in my life that I found this place and have been training with best instructors and friends. I always feel so lucky to have them here in South bay although I wish I started early. But this is best to learn self defense, lose weight, learn discipline and making new friends.
It's no wonder why so many kids here learn self defense and having good time.
This is amazing place, instructors and students. Ever since I joined 2 yrs ago, this is all I think about how to defend bigger, stronger opponents, how to do self defense, how to get better, how to learn and use techniques. Simply, AMAZING!
Before trying this place i tried other places. This place is the best by far. Not only is the technique the best, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Jiujitsu has changed my life since istayed ilady 60pounds and i owe it to master Caique and his sons Pedro and Thomas. I have enjoyed my bjj journey for the past three years and still going strong. I absolutely love this place. All i could say try it out you won't regret it.
The instructors are very friendly and thorough. The class instructions are very detailed. A very warm and welcoming environment with the old school martial arts feel. A great place to start learning, sharpen skills, and make yourself a better person
I have been training here for roughly seven months now and feel qualified to leave a review.
Short version:
I love this place and would recommend anyone (man/woman/child) come give a class a shot. It's clean, there's plenty of parking and everyone is friendly.
Longer Version:
The curriculum here is centered around self-defense concepts which I feel is essential. While some of the moves you learn here certainly do look cool, they are all centered around keeping you safe in the event somebody bigger and stronger than you decides to do you some wrong.
Most importantly, this stuff works. I'm a relatively big and strong guy but the smaller guys in here with more experience can neutralize me quickly. A truly effective art taught by a very knowledgeable family.
If you're looking to spar in a safe environment, all the guys here are respectful of their training partners and the higher belts are not only patient with new trainees but also very helpful.

I trained in some other places in LA before but once I started at Caique Jiu Jitsu I found a jiu jitsu home for me. Great instruction with lots of attention.You will be in class always with 2 or more top instructors. I highly recommend it
I live blocks away from this school. I literally walked by this place once a day for 3 years and finally went in to check it out. I am glad I did, I am not glad that I waited so long! I was instantly taken by the inviting and warm atmosphere, cool people and great facilities. One thing that has stuck with me since I started is that all the instructors and Master Caique himself knew and remembered my name after my first class! For some this may not be a huge thing, but at an academy this large, it is really something remarkable. I really cannot say enough about the art of BJJ for being a great way to stay in shape, and learn incredibly effective self defense.
You don't have to be anyone with a fighting art background or super athletic, when I first started I was 40 lbs heavier and had no idea what I was doing. After 8 months I competed in my first tournament and took second place! Moms, Dads, kids, everyone is welcome and is a really great atmosphere and great way to get out of the "gym".
If you have done your research you will know that this place has an incredible lineage. Grand Master Helio gave Master Caique his black belt in BJJ and Rickson Gracie himself gave Master Caique his Coral Belt. Not many schools can claim that.
Great place, with great staff. My 8 year daughter is enrolled at the academy and she loves it. Pedro is a fantastic instructor and the kids learn important self defense and life skills. awesome place, I would recommend it to everybody.
Great martial art school.My kids are in class there twice a week for 4 years already.
We do live in Palos Verdes and I tried others in the area but Caique Jiu Jitsu became our choice by been far the best one.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear...I am very grateful to Master Caique and all the instructors at the academy for teaching my kids and myself BJJ.
My kids and myself have been training at Caique's BJJ academy since 2009.
I originally signed my son up because he was scrawny and I was afraid he would get picked on as he got older. Four years into it, my son has had to use what he learned twice to protect himself. The best part about it is he has learned not only to protect himself but done in a manner of control without hurting the aggressor which has helped him garner respect and self confidence.
Master Caique and his staff keep a clean and well run academy emphasizing self defense and practical techniques that you can utilize in various situations (self defense or just rolling with other BJJ practitioners).
If you're curious or want to see why this is such a great BJJ academy, come by during their scheduled classes and observe the curriculum and how it is taught (for both adults and kids)!
BTW, if you think you're too old to learn BJJ, think again. There are students from all walks of life ages 5 up to 60+ at the academy and it is a great environment conducive to learning.
CJJ is a warm and welcoming jiu jitsu academy. The instructors are highly skilled and highly patient! The overall atmosphere is very engaging and it really feels like family. My son has been training here for about a year and not only have the instructors helped him to advance in his training, but they have helped him get ready for tournaments, been very supportive and really ignited a love for this martial art. I'm excited for my daughter to start their kids class!
