I must admit I was hesitant into coming in for a risk free trial today 02/18/25, not only because I didn't know what to expect of a class in general, a quick tour of the gym, premises and what training is about. I was approached by another student member while I was warming up and that gesture made me feel welcomed he was being patient and overall was teaching me some techniques, Thank you Ben for having that gesture, when coach Cortes showed up he made us warm up and must be honest I was not expecting that warm up but it got me to think positive of myself, risk free trial was great I had to sign up for 6 months to gain that experience and don't have that thought on my head of " what could I have accomplished if I had stayed " also a big THANK YOU to the owner for reaching out via text message when all I was doing was some research on Muay Thai classes not being fully committed on training, once again Thank you.

Fantastic facility, great location, and the people (instructors and students) make this an absolute top-rate place to learn and train hard! If you want longevity in the martial arts, you need a place that will challenge you but have a friendly, healthy atmosphere that you want to keep returning to! This school provides all that!!!

Renzo Gracie Los Angeles is definitely the gym to attend. Tons of knowledgeable upper belts that can steer you in the right direction. Even the lower belts are also pretty challenging. Not only do they have jiu jitsu, but they even have judo, and Muay Thai. Even Yoga and hiiit training. Tons of classes for you to fit into your schedule no matter how busy. And also lots of randori (free rolling).

Renzo Gracie is the best! Professor Albert for Fundamentals teaches very clearly and practically for open mats. He helps build the mental models to be intentional and successful. Professor Benji’s judo class is very detail oriented to take the game from stand up to the ground seamlessly.

Renzo Gracie Los Angeles has been a wonderful experience all around. I’ve been training Muay Thai for almost a decade and this gym has become my home gym. They have put in a lot of effort to develop the community as a whole and it makes for a welcoming experience. The coaches have a lot of experience to help the beginners and more experienced fighters and amateurs alike. I definitely recommend coming here if you’re interested in exploring Muay Thai and jiu jitsu can contribute to your life. And make sure you say hey to coach Cortes. He’s the handsomest!

I have been training at Renzo Gracie for over 5 years now, and it has truly transformed my life. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always pushing me to achieve my best. What sets this gym apart is the sense of community—it feels like a family here. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, everyone is welcoming and willing to help you improve. I highly recommend Renzo Gracie to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a positive and empowering environment.

Renzo Gracie LA is just an awesome gym with such a friendly vibe. As an Orthodox Jew, I'm grateful for the understanding when it comes to my practice of shomer negiah, meaning I don't roll BJJ with women. All the professors and coaches, especially Jaime and Benji, really make the gym stand out. I'd totally suggest this place if you're looking for a place to learn, with a mix of intense training and a bunch of really nice people.

He’s bold in his teaching But that’s what we need to truly learn. I’m very grateful That I found this place. Oss

One of the best gyms in the Universe. The coaches are knowledgeable. The coaches are military trained. They will get you physically and mentally strong. Once you get used to their sense of humor this place is better than Dysneyland, the only difference is that you can punch, kick, and choke your fellow students and learn self defense and lose weight all at once in this beautiful place. Everyone is welcome and I feel safe. If i wasn't for the coaches at RGLA I would be in jail. Thank you for saving my life. They are only allow 5 stars but of it was up to me, I'd give it a million stars!!!!

I absolutely adore this place! I discovered it during the pandemic when clubs were closed and other venues had limited capacity. Friday nights here became my cherished escape, and I fell in love with it! Despite the challenging times, this place transformed the worst of times into the best of times for me. It not only preserved my sanity but also gave me a new lease on life. The staff members are not only friendly but also highly knowledgeable. In my heart what sets this place apart is its LGBTQ friendliness. It became evident when I participated in the AIDSLife Cycle and received support from fellow students and coaches, helping me raise funds. It's so much more than just a regular gym. <3 LFG! LFG! LFG! <3

My partner and I travelled to America from Australia to compete at IBJJF Worlds and decided to drop into Renzo Gracie Los Angeles LA, during the week leading up to the competition. The gym facility was amazing and people at the gym were super friendly and helpful. I'm also a fairly small female purple belt and rolled with a number of bigger guys who all looked after me during the rolls. Overall this was our favourite gym we visited during our holiday and would highly recommend to anyone travelling through.

I've been coming here for 4 months and this gym is the perfect place to train for absolutely anyone. They offer dedicated classes for beginners, women, competitors, gi, nogi, muay thai and a lot more. I tried a bunch of other high level gyms in the area but the casual atmosphere and excellent instructors made me choose this one over all of them. I've made a lot of progress since joining and can highly recommend going here.

Everyone followed proper gym protocol and respect. Lucky for me, everyone obliged my pace and never drug me out to deep waters 😂. Super sharp fundamentals and I’m more than confident I could’ve been taken to deep waters if I was looking for that! Great school! Go visit them

One of the mottos at Renzo Gracie Los Angeles is that its not a gym, it's a family. They truly live by that motto. My son is on Autism Spectum and that can be a challenge for not just him but also instructors. Steve Calderon was fully invested in making sure that my son could succeed at Renzo Gracie. he went out of his way to make not just my son but my family feel welcomed and comfortable at the gym. You don't always get that kind of support with a child on the spectrum and it was so wonderful to watch his team put in the efforts to help him succeed. If you're thinking about putting your children in Jiu Jitsu and I highly recommend it be at Renzo Gracie Los Angeles.

I have been training bjj at RGLA since November 2019. As a beginner to martial arts, I have been very impressed with the facilities, instruction and community. During these stressful covid times, having a way to release tension physically has been a game changer. The team at RGLA even MOVED LOCATIONS so we are able to safely train outside. I could go on and on with adoration, but why don’t you come see for yourself? Take a free intro class and who knows; maybe you can change your life too.

Fantastic place to learn and train BJJ. I dropped in on a visit to LA from Atlanta this week, and was greeted with peak hospitality. Coach Luis was passionate, knowledgable, detailed and fun. There was a healthy variety of belt levels training that day, and all were extremely courteous and well mannered. Showers and lockers included at the facility. Gym is slightly hard to find as the lobby doesn't have marking on where it is, but it's a short walk from lobby. If I'm in LA again, I'll be back!

Visited LA and had to go into another Renzo Gracie school. Professor Williams had given a great seminar at my academy a few months before, and so I knew that I needed to stop in and see. The staff was great, the professors were clear, concise and demanding. I learned some useful BJJ and enjoyed the rolls with my training partners. If you are in this area of LA, I recommend this academy.

When I first entered 5 Star Martial Arts to ask about classes for my 5-year old daughter I was welcomed by the amazing kid-friendly and professional staff. My daughter quickly embraced the place and wanted to start classes right away (combination of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and Muay Thai Boxing). If you talk to any parent that takes their child to 5 Star Martial Arts, you will hear the same responses, "they are like second family" and "kids are benefiting from these classes". Parents commented about taking their children to other martial arts classes and by far this is the best place. The kids classes are structured and kids stay focused. Apparently, at other schools the kids play around and they don't really learn much. Soon afterwards, Mom and Dad began taking both Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Again you will be surprised how friendly the staff AND the students are in these adult programs. The coaches model this friendly and helpful behavior and the students follow suit. Even as a newbie, the more advanced students treat you with respect and help you along during training. Schedule is flexible and there are classes 7 days a week starting from 7am classes for training before work with a shower and locker room for use. The last class also starts either 8pm or 8:30pm during different days of the week.

Coach Mike is a class act. I brought my two young children ages 5 & 6, and he quite frankly won them over. Personable and kind, with a great sense of understanding of timid children, Coach Mike is a coach I sincerely recommend to any reluctant parent. I first visited two other martial arts centers before settling on this place. You'll notice the difference, too.

You will not find a better place to train at in Los Angeles than Five Star. All of the programs and instruction is top notch! Professor Shawn Williams is one of a kind when it comes to teaching BJJ. The detail he puts into his teaching really helps you understand what to do and why. Kru John is the head of the Muay Thai program and he brings a lot of experience and detail to his classes as well. The facility is super clean and you won't find a better group of people to train with. Whether your looking for classes for your child or yourself, Five Star has great programs for everyone. If you are in the L.A area and are looking for a place to train, do yourself a favor and go to Five Star!

I wanted to try out Muay Thai for a while, so I took a trial class over here. When I was checking in with the receptionist, one of the trainers asked me if I was Indian, and I'm like "Yes". He then proceeded to say how "this place was not for Indians", "you should leave", and how "his previous two Indian Muay Thai students left him". I understand this might have been said jokingly, but nonetheless, you shouldn't be saying something so racist to someone you don't know, and that too on their first day. Besides this incident, the remaining people I interacted with were nice, including the remaining trainers, and the students.
