I started training jiu jitsu pretty recently back in New York, and when I moved to California, I was so grateful to find MBJJ. From the very first class, everyone made me feel welcomed and supported—it’s such a special, family-like community. As a beginner, walking into a new gym can be intimidating, but MBJJ has made it easy to feel comfortable right away. The beginner classes are incredibly helpful, and people genuinely go out of their way to teach, encourage, and cheer you on. It’s also an amazing space for women. The women’s-only classes are so welcoming, and there’s a growing group of incredible women here who make training even more fun and empowering. Professor Pedro sets the tone for the whole gym—kind, patient, and so invested in helping everyone improve. If you’ve ever thought about trying jiu jitsu, I can’t recommend MBJJ enough. Just come try one class—you might end up falling in love with it like I did!
Posted 5 months agoI enrolled my 3-year-old son at MBJJ, and the experience has been outstanding. The academy is a trustworthy place, with a team of very attentive instructors led by Professor Pedro, who conveys a great sense of care and dedication. The environment is welcoming and cheerful, always promoting respect, discipline, and positive interaction among the children. I highly recommend MBJJ to any parent looking for a serious yet fun and supportive space where their child can grow physically, emotionally, and socially.
Posted 8 months agoI spent a month training here and wish I could stay longer. The gym is clean, and Pedro, the owner, is always friendly and full of energy for jiu jitsu. The atmosphere is positive, and the training partners are great. Pedro’s black belt friends also teach, giving you the chance to learn something new every day. If you’re looking for a place where you feel welcomed from day one, this is it. Every class is motivating and fun, and there’s a real sense of community. They also offer women-only classes, making it a supportive environment for everyone!
