    I travelled LA and decided to visit this gym and I had so much fun training here. Great professor, coaches and people train here and vibe’s amazing too. If you are ever around LA, you must try out this one. You can also see the hollywood sign through out the window. Thank you professor! Will visit here again next time!!

    An excellent club for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training! The grapplers are very experienced and attentive, always helping with techniques and giving useful advice. The atmosphere is friendly. It’s a great place for both beginners and advanced athletes. I’m very glad I found this club and will happily continue training when I return to LA.

    I am so grateful to have found LWJJ for my wild 8 year old son! Mauricio is not just a highly decorated fighter. He and his coaches are extremely qualified and intentional teachers. The kids are learning technique as well as a culture of respect that is missing in so much of today’s modern “all about me” culture. They are learning an incredible martial art form, healthy self esteem and healthy respect of others. Thank you to Mauricio and his team!

    Like Water Jiu-Jitsu is an incredibly fun gym where you jump straight into learning practical Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu self-defense. Most of the class focuses on rolling and drills that actually improve your positional skills, skipping the fluff. The format is pretty standard: technique demonstration, drilling with a partner, and finishing with rolling to test your skills. What really sets this place apart is the welcoming atmosphere. The blue and purple belts are super helpful and eager to share their knowledge, making it easy to learn quickly. Everyone's genuinely nice, and it’s a great place to train and grow in the sport. ** For beginners: From my experience, If you're new and worried about someone being too rough, you don’t have to be. People here are incredibly understanding and willing to adjust to your pace. As a beginner, I felt supported right away, and everyone was kind and patient in helping me learn.

    In 2022, I was introduced to Professor Maurício through a friend, and that’s when I started attending his jiu-jitsu classes. At the time, I was struggling—overweight by more than 60 pounds, feeling depressed, and losing hope. Professor Maurício became a real source of support during this tough period. He would call me regularly to encourage me to show up to class, and during training, he was always attentive, helpful, and genuinely invested in my progress. I highly recommend this gym. Jiu-jitsu is an incredible sport that has truly improved my life. Not only has it made me stronger and more flexible, but it’s also boosted my social interactions and given me a renewed sense of confidence. Thanks to Like Water Jiu Jitsu and Professor Maurício, I’m feeling healthier and happier.
