Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Anthem

Both of my kids have taken jiu jitsu lessons with other instructors and they do not compare to Cecil B. He is the BEST! He is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He truly made jiu jitsu something that my kids looked forward to. Highly recommend him!

Cecil Burch is an accomplished martial artist. I have trained with him on and off for over ten years. I live in Southern California. I drive 8 hours to train with him. If you are in the Phoenix Metro area, please check him out. He’s a good guy and cares.

I have had the privilege of meeting and training with Cecil 3 times at Gracie Headquarters in Torrance. Cecil is a fantastic coach and great human being. He’s thorough with details but makes learning and understanding simple and fun. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn self defence or jiu jitsu.

The lead instructor Cecil Burch is a truly outstanding martial arts teacher. His range of experience makes him highly qualified to instruct on fundamentals for beginners of all ages as well as self-defense, competition training, and more. If you live nearby you are incredibly lucky to have an instructor of this caliber available. Highly recommended whether you're a seasoned practitioner or someone who's just looking to add some variety to your fitness routine.

I've had multiple occasions to train with Cecil. He is an excellent instructor, soft spoken, always helpful. I appreciate how he has helped me improve my jujitsu as well as my self defense skills. He is a competent and well versed instructor. Additional he is attentive and concerned with the safety of his students.
