🌟 Five Years of Growth, Strength, and Community at Gallegos Jiu Jitsu 🌟 Our family has been part of the Gallegos Jiu Jitsu kids program for over five years, and I can’t imagine a better place for my boys to grow—not just as athletes, but as confident, respectful young men. From day one, the focus on self-defense has been empowering. The instructors teach practical techniques in a safe, supportive environment, helping kids learn how to protect themselves while building discipline and resilience. What sets Gallegos apart is the heart behind the training. The coaches are incredibly skilled, but more importantly, they’re deeply invested in each child’s development. They foster a culture of encouragement, accountability, and mutual respect. My boys have gained not only physical strength but also emotional confidence and leadership skills that extend far beyond the mat. The kids program is structured, fun, and inclusive—perfect for beginners and seasoned students alike. Gallegos Jiu Jitsu has truly become a second home for us. This isn't just a gym for us, this is truly our Family. It’s a place where character is built, friendships are formed, and every child is reminded of their own potential. If you're looking for a program that teaches real self-defense while nurturing your child’s confidence and character, Gallegos is the place to be.

Where do I even start… what an amazing place this is!!! I met Elias at a different business and he we got to chatting. I work in a bar and he immediately told me about his gym and the self defense workshops he offers. He was so energetic and passionate about the subject. Giving us girls that are definitely targets skills to help defend ourselves. The class was absolutely amazing. All of the coaches were so kind and encouraging to me and my friends. It was very intimating at first but is such a safe space. The other women in the class that are gym members were absolutely amazing as well. Elias taught us practical skills. Not to take someone down but to get away, which is honestly the real goal. Just that shift mentally was so powerful to see it that way. The way Elias speaks and gives his message is so motivating and authentic and just really special. The community has such positive energy I am now about to start taking classes there to gain some proficiency in the skills taught during the workshop. I am nervous and excited and I know I will be supported every step of the way. Thank you so much Elias for sharing your energy with everyone you encounter. I am truly grateful.

It was my first time attending a self-defense seminar, and I didn’t exactly know what to expect — and left feeling empowered, educated, and more confident in my ability to protect myself. The instructors were not only highly skilled but also incredibly supportive and respectful. They created a safe space for women of all backgrounds and experience levels to learn, ask questions, and practice at their own pace. I highly recommend!!

I recently attended a free self-defense training at Gallegos Jujitsu, and it was a great experience. I was nervous at first, but the environment was very welcoming and supportive. Professor Gallegos was caring, knowledgeable, and funny, which helped make the class feel relaxed and engaging. All the professors were helpful and patient, making sure everyone felt comfortable and understood the techniques. The training was informative and not difficult to follow — perfect for beginners. I left feeling more confident and empowered. I highly recommend Gallegos Jujitsu to anyone interested in learning self-defense in a positive and encouraging space.

This is more than a BJJ and self-defense academy. Here, not only will students and their families find training for self-defense but a community of support as well. Professor Elias Gallegos and his team goes beyond the mat, especially for: veterans who suffer from PTSD, women who are domestic abuse survivors, providing additional training for LEO's and first responders so that they may better serve the community, parents who want their children to learn self-defense techniques to build their confidence, and women who wants to learn self-defense. In the BJJ community here in San Diego, there is a different sense of pride when you say, "I earned my belt under Professor Elias Gallegos." If you want to know more, please contact Professor Elias and his team!

I went to this try out this class for women’s self defense for the first time and I feel that I left with a lot of new knowledge. And this gave me the opportunity to open my eyes into the reality and the dangers that women face in the world and the importance of self defense. I absolutely loved this and I would definitely take some classes here! 10/10 !!!!!!

I love the way Professor Elias teaches his self defense classes, he integrates life experiences into it, which helps grasp the move. Life in general is our biggest battle, you never know when you just might need to use one of these self defense moves on someone. I learned a lot today, but what I picked up on the most was knowing that I’m doing the right thing by pushing my daughter to continue in a combat sport and now even more in Jiu Jitsu. Thank you so much to all the other coaches I met as well! 💪🏼👊🏼🙏🏼

Coach Elias at Alliance Eastlake's Gallegos Jiu Jitsu is exceptional. His teaching style is remarkably effective, effortlessly breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps. He dedicates time to answer questions and offers personalized feedback, demonstrating genuine care for each student's progress. Beyond his technical prowess, Coach Elias excels in inspiring and motivating his students. The gym atmosphere he cultivates is supportive and encouraging, fostering growth and camaraderie among practitioners. Since joining Gallegos Jiu Jitsu, I've experienced remarkable improvements in my physical fitness, confidence, and overall well-being. Coach Elias has unlocked my potential as a martial artist, a realization I never thought possible. For anyone seeking a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym with an inspiring coach, I wholeheartedly recommend Alliance Eastlake and Coach Elias Gallegos. His mentorship has transformed my life, and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to train under his guidance.

Recently my two kids had the pleasure of training at Gallegos Jiu-Jitsu, a highly skilled and dedicated Jiu-Jitsu club. From the moment they stepped onto the mat, I knew they were in good hands. One of the most impressive qualities is their ability to create a positive and inclusive training environment, regardless of your skill level or experience.

If I weren't relocating, this would unquestionably be my permanent training destination. I can't say enough about this jiu-jitsu academy that emphasizes MMA for self-defense. The training here equips you with vital skills for real-world scenarios. However, to solely focus on the martial arts aspect would be an injustice to Professor Elias's mentoring. He goes above and beyond, guiding people not only in their training but also in life itself. His genuine care and support create a profound connection that makes you feel like part of a family. If you're looking for effective self-defense training within a close-knit community, look no further! Professor Elias's dedication to both martial arts and personal growth is truly exceptional.

As a combat veteran with PTSD, 8 failed suicide attempts, 9 health organizations with the VA being the 6th, and the VA outsourcing me to the Vet Center, Crown View Medical, and Sharps Mesa Vista who all kicked me back to the VA, life can feel like a downward spiral. It can feel dark, depressing, and frustrating to deal with daily injuries with the nation and international standings as they are. Over the years, your team leaves, some of the times by permanently checking out. Eventually leaving you feeling alone. The silence of the void can be too tempting at times if I allow it to take over. Professor Gallegos runs a nonprofit out of his pocket that offers free consoling and training to domestic violence victims, at risk youth, and combat veterans with PTSD like me. He covers everything needed to include equipment and uniforms. Occasionally getting help from his wonderful sponsors, just the reminder that there are grateful people out there is motivating to stay in the fight. The professor welcomes you with open arms into the family and everyone in the organization has been absolutely supportive. It is a blessing to have such selfless people such as the professor. This location will prepare you for the real world. They are creating leaders here that will not be afraid of the bullies. Constantly pushed by moral guidance on top of the training. You get mentally, physically, and spiritually in shape when you train here. But don't take my word for it, go check it out. You will not be disappointed with the quality of character, honor, and humility that is present here meshed with the technical lessons to be an assassin on the battlefield of life. The love and support shown to us veterans here is second to none and truly outstanding. Much aloha and mahalo to the entire Gallegos association. What you do for us veterans truly saves lives.

I signed my daughters up for jiu-jitsu because they were being bullied and O.M.G...not only are they learning self defense, but they both have sooo much more confidence and they've made some amazing friends here. my once quiet and timid 11 year old is now on her 3rd stripe and just competed in a tournament over the weekend. my 9 year old is smaller than other kids her age and she let other kids bully her for it. but now she actually sticks up for herself. she doesn't let her size stop her from being heard/seen anymore. and the professor/coaches treat every single child like their own. my only regret is that I didn't sign them up sooner.

I'm writing this review from a visitor's perspective. I train BJJ in Los Angeles County, but travel to San Diego a few times in the year to see family and friends. Even though I'm on vacation during those trips, my love for BJJ still draws me to visit gyms in the area to get some training in and Gallegos Jiu Jitsu HQ has been a very welcoming and impactful experience! From meeting Professor Elias, and his black belt associates, Cosmo, Aaron, and Ricardo, they have all been nice and inviting, and patient with any questions that I had while drilling. Not only were the instructors a joy to talk with, but even the students were interested in learning more about me and were excited to drill and roll during class. I do appreciate the self-defense aspect of the BJJ training as opposed to the sport training. Due to their many members being cops or in the military, it's great to see an even deeper look to know what really works in real-world life threatening scenarios to protect yourself. Having been able to participate in both their gi and no-gi classes, I can confidently say that if you are looking for a Brazilian jiu jitsu gym in Chula Vista, then this is your spot!

Outstanding Jiu Jitsu School and training center! It’s been a great pleasure be a part of and discover Professor Elias’ Gallegos Jiu Jitsu. My 2 daughters have only been training for 2 months and they are excited to participate everyday. In this short time, I can see a positive improvement in their confidence, self defense ability and capacity to take direction and learn. The professors and coaches are well experienced and keenly instruct the students to their specific abilities. They are very patient and consistently drill ensuring that every student learns to progressively get better. The students are challenged and expected to rise to meet those challenges. It is encouraging to meet such a positive community here. I know that everyone is looking out for each other, to help all involved to learn self defense, martial arts and life lessons together. I have recommended this school to two families already and will continue to do so because I know the time spent here is well worth the effort. A huge thank you to the entire group for the time, skill, strength and passion that you impart to the students!

I freaking love this gym!! Best Gym in San Diego, period. I've been in martial arts on and off my whole life, but jiu jitsu at Alliance Eastlake makes me regret not starting here sooner. I'm only a month in and it's changed my life. Not just me feeling better physically, but the way it's help me grow mentally. I've heard this from people before who have done jiu jitsu, but I never understood it until now. All your fears, worries, and issues are worked out on the mat. Everyone here is friendly, helpful, and it feels like a family. Elias and the other professors genuinely love their students and want them to succeed. To learn and to grow. That's why I love it here. It's family. And again, I've only been here for a month. I've been to other gyms/mma gyms and the atmosphere was terrible. Egos everywhere. This place is not like that. It's a real jiu jitsu academy. Full of family and lifelong students of the craft. Thank you Alliance Jiu Jitsu Eastlake! Ossss!
