Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy

L D

This facility is clean and well maintained. The instruction was structured and principle based. The vibe was chill and cooperative. The head instructor Mike and his assistants Ben and Alex were helpful and cool. 10/10 would recommend.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu from the source. No where better to learn the gentle art then from the Gracie brothers themselves. Love this place. Been a member here for a few months. Facility is super clean and modern. Highly recommend Gracie Academy BH.

I stopped in while traveling and had the opportunity to take a private lesson with Professor Chris Saunders, one of the "Dirty Dozen" (the twelve first non-Brazilian BJJ black Belts), and an excellent instructor who has a black belt so worn, that it's nearly white! In my 30 minute private, he was able to give me great tips that most schools would not be able to provide in an hour of instruction. Humble, succinct and a great guy, he quickly spotted holes in my game and patched them. The support staff was also extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

I train jiu-jitsu in Chicago and I flew in to attend the Metamoris tournament. Since I was staying with a friend in West Hollywood, I thought it'd be nice to drop by the Gracie Academy in Beverly Hills. I was a little nervous going in because I had never trained with a Gracie before but all my tensions were put at ease when I saw how welcoming and helpful everybody there was, from the instructors to the regular students to the front desk staff. I really felt welcomed with open arms. Ryron Gracie, who was the professor for the day, eased the tension with the class by Keeping it Playful in an interactive, fun, and intellectually stimulating class. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and I felt like I was amongst friends that I had been training with for years given how easily it was to click with the other students. The facility is truly first-rate and the locker room reminded me more of a health spa than a jiujitsu school. Additionally, they had a fridge stocked with health drinks and coconut water for sale, a detail that I wish other schools would follow suit on. I have no doubt that if I lived in Los Angeles, this would be my home academy. I look forward to the next time I fly in to L.A. so that I may have the privilege to attend another class. Whether you live in the area or you're from out of town, I would highly recommend dropping by for a class, I promise that you won't be disappointed.
