This is by far the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in California. Professor Mateus is not only an excellent teacher but also a highly accomplished competitor who brings a lot of knowledge and passion to every class. The facility is top-notch, with multiple mats for training and a fully stocked gym. The culture here is welcoming, supportive, and filled with great people, which makes training both enjoyable and motivating. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Really impressed with Baza Jiu-Jitsu! Super clean and professional setup. The coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, and amazing with the kids, great role models. Love the flexible schedule too, you can train as little or as much as you want during the week. The facility has everything you need, gym, locker rooms, showers, all a big plus. And parking has never been an issue with plenty of street parking nearby. Highly recommend!

I'm delighted! I think my son and I have visited all the gyms in Los Angeles. Each has its pros and cons, but even with their pros, the level of training and much more does not suit us 🙁 (Maybe it's good for someone, but it doesn't suit us) BAZA is something else 🤩 To be honest, some people advised me to bring my child to Baza, but I was sceptical🧐 in connection with previous experiences 💁🏼♀️ I kept an eye on BAZA and watched them from social media 🔭 What can I say, it's beautiful, yes 🙌🏼! BAZA - Beautiful, modern, clean and bright gym. Very nice atmosphere overall. Discipline is very important to me and it is here 🙏 Professor Mateus Rodriguez a world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I fully trust and I am sure with this level of training, children will grow up strong and successful. I highly recommend BAZA to anyone who looking for a world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for you or your kids. No doubt 👍🏼💪🏼 All coaches are great and helpful 🫶🏼 Unfortunately In many gyms, training lasts only 1 hour. I think it is impossible to learn anything properly in one hour. In BAZA training lasts longer and is of better quality. I also want to note the children are very friendly and help each other, which is very valuable. No arrogance, no show-offs ❤️ I am very selective in many things and very attentive to details. I can confidently say that BAZA is the place we were looking for 🫶🏼 Btw , there is also GYM downstairs 😉

Baza is an incredible academy that offers a high end space to train jiu jitsu in North Hollywood, CA. Professor Mateus Rodrigues is a World Champion and his training is nothing short of amazing! He is detailed, kind, professional and disciplined. Mateus is still actively competing and well versed with the most current knowledge on technique and skill. With his guidance and expertise you will see jiu jitsu champions come out of his academy for years to come. This place is exactly what my son needed to help elevate his game while feeling like this is our second home. Their full gym on the second level is an added bonus! We love Baza and our growing Baza family!

I trained at Baza Jiu Jitsu while I was in Los Angeles on business and was highly impressed by everything about the academy. The head coach, Mateus, is a multiple-time world champion so he is an experienced competitor but he has also created an environment that is beneficial for all skill and interest levels. There are two separate mat spaces and a full-fledged fitness facility downstairs. The white studio aesthetic of the interior design lends itself to the concept of Jiu Jitsu being an artform. I would recommend to anyone in the proximity of North Hollywood who has an interest in Jiu Jitsu that they should visit Baza Jiu Jitsu for a life-enhancing experience.
