    I can’t say enough good things about Gracie Jiujitsu Pasadena! From the moment you walk in, the entire team—from the friendly front desk staff to the incredible instructors Fred, Aida, and Christal—makes you feel completely welcome. The environment is warm, supportive, and never intimidating, which is so important for someone like me who’s brand new to jiu-jitsu. The gym is spotless and beautifully maintained—seriously, even the bathrooms feel like something you’d find in a high-end hotel. That level of care really shows how much pride they take in the space. The Women’s Empowerment class has become a true highlight of my week. I leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and honestly amazed that I enjoy jiu-jitsu this much—something I never imagined in a million years! Whether you’re a total beginner like me or more advanced, I highly, highly, highly recommend Gracie Jiujitsu Pasadena. The community here is truly something special.

    Gracie Pasadena has totally changed my perception of what I thought I was capable of. Their Women Empowered course is so comprehensive, and I feel strong and athletic really for the first time in my life. After only training for a few months, not only am I so much more confident in my own abilities to defend myself but I also can't believe how many options I have at my disposal. Fred, Aida, and Crystal are incredible instructors, the whole class is so encouraging, and I've made so many friends!

    I’ve been training at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Pasadena for over a year, and it’s been an amazing experience. The Women Empowered program is a safe, supportive space where you learn real self-defense—and it’s actually really fun! They also offer co-ed Combatives and kids’ classes, so it’s great for the whole family. I even train with my mom, which makes it extra special. Whether you come with friends, family, or on your own, you’ll leave feeling stronger, more confident, and part of a great community. If you’re thinking about it, just try it—you might love it!🩷🖤🩷

    I went for the women empowerment class /free trial and got hooked immediately. The people who work here, from front desk to trainers, are all incredible kind and welcoming! They make it a safe place and being a woman in a combative class (mixed gender) I feel very comfortable, respected and safe here. It's also very clean and got everything you need. Highly recommend, 10/10

    I have nothing but great things to say about Fred and the team at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Pasadena. I came in for a free trial as a total beginner and wasn’t sure what to expect, but everyone was so welcoming from the second I walked in. Fred and Gil were awesome. They broke everything down in a way that actually made sense and made me feel super comfortable the whole time. I learned so much in just one session. The vibe here is really supportive, no ego, just good people. Highly recommend this place out if you’re even a little curious about Jiu Jitsu. 10/10.
