This is one of the best training gyms I’ve ever been to. Everybody is super polite and engaging and respectful.

Anyone walking in no matter, the skill level will be made comfortable, and the skill sets are easily explained where they are easy to understand.

I originally went to sign up my son, but after Seeing how the program was, I opted assigned myself.

Highly recommended!

I took my 3.5-year-old son to Gracie University in Torrance, and we had an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. The staff was friendly, professional, and great with kids, which helped my son feel comfortable right away. The facility itself was very clean and well-maintained, creating a great environment for learning.

My son was so excited to participate in the program, and I was beyond pleased with how he reacted to the class. The instructors made it fun, engaging, and structured in a way that kept him interested and learning. I truly appreciate the positive atmosphere and the focus on building confidence, discipline, and skills even at such a young age.

Exceptional Jiu-Jitsu Training and Environment at Gracie University!

From the moment my child began attending Gracie University, the improvement has been nothing short of spectacular. The private instruction has propelled his skills beyond his wildest imaginations, and for that, we are immensely grateful. What truly sets this school apart is its balanced approach; it melds fun seamlessly with the essential lessons. The Game Day activities are a blast, and the life lessons on respect, discipline, humility, and altruism, imparted in every class, are invaluable.

The program here is absolutely outstanding, but one of the unsung heroes of Gracie University is the unparalleled level of cleanliness. The bathroom and shower facilities are reminiscent of those at Equinox—spotless, with no foul odors or overlooked details. Every time I visit, there are dedicated staff meticulously detailing the locker room—cleaning lockers inside, outside, and even on top!

Furthermore, the front desk team is always wonderful, helpful, and informative, providing a welcoming face and all the information needed upon entry. It's evident from the joyful demeanor of the staff that they genuinely enjoy their roles, which greatly enhances the overall environment.

Mats Cleanliness:
The cleanliness of the mats at Gracie University is truly commendable. After every class, the mats are meticulously cleaned and sanitized, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment for all practitioners. This rigorous cleaning routine not only prevents the spread of germs but also reflects the school’s commitment to providing a top-notch training experience. The dedication to cleanliness is evident, with every detail cared for, which makes training here a worry-free experience for students and parents alike.

Facility and Private Instruction:
Gracie University boasts a spacious, wide-open mat area that provides ample room for group classes, allowing students to practice without any constraints. Additionally, the availability of 1:1 training rooms for private instruction has proven to be immensely useful. These private spaces offer a tailored training environment that is perfect for focusing on specific techniques or addressing individual learning needs. The thoughtful layout of the facility, combining open mat spaces with private rooms, enhances the learning experience and supports the development of every student.

The Gracie family here is indeed doing all the right things, creating a nurturing and immaculate space for learning and growth. If you're considering a place for Jiu-Jitsu, I can't recommend Gracie University highly enough. They're truly in a league of their own!

I went to the women’s empowered class for the first time on Tuesday. Everyone from the front desk staff to the trainers to the other students were so welcoming and helpful. I was a little intimidated before coming but the instructors, Bobby and Sam, quickly made me feel comfortable here. This class teaches skills everyone should know. It was so much fun and I can’t wait for the next class and to earn my pink belt one day.

We heard great things about Gracie & gave it a try. Both my son & daughter have loved it. Bobby, the instructor is great! The lessons they teach are what kids need to protect & empower them. My son is 9 & really enjoying the classes.
