All instructors, students and staff have been helpful in my personal growth in learning great skills. An environment of learning that cultivates positive attitude and connection with each martial art discipline. A great place for those who want to invest in themselves and their journey.

I’m a black belt training in NYC. I visited RGLA for the first time. Took a Friday morning class and had a lovely time, I will definitely be back while I’m in town. Great instruction, good live rounds and great facilities. Both Gi and No Gi training is excellent!

I started my martial arts journey 2 years ago at Renzo Gracie LA. I started because I enjoyed watching UFC and wanted to dip my toes into training. I knew absolutely nothing about jiu jitsu and no one at this gym. 2 years later I’m so much more confident in myself as not only a grappler but as a man. Everyone at this gym has treated me great and brought me along with them. Highly recommend coach Jess’ fundamental noon classes for those who have never trained; perfect beginner pace. Highly recommend Jaime and Ilia’s noon classes as well. High level technique that helped me podium at Jiu Jitsu World league. Great community and culture. Great place to train.

Hey everyone, I trained at this gym from 2021 to 2025 and I got to say it's one of the best gyms around. They teach you everything from striking, grappling, and MMA. However, if you're looking more for single discipline classes, they offer Muay Thai, Judo, and both Gi and No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This gym has everything you need to become an all around/ balanced fighter. Not only that, they have everything needed for each any every student's goals. They can accommodate for the basic fitness enthusiast, self defense focused students, or for the competitor. I would still love to train there but I unfortunately moved too far away. If you're looking for a gym in the East Hollywood/Los Feliz area. I recommend this gym without hesitation.
