What a great place to train! My kid 14 and I both go there and I have nothing but praise for everything and everyone - owners, training partners, a bunch of upper belts always there to help. One other detail that distinguishes this place from many is how strict they are about cleanness and personal hygiene. Thank you!

Howard is awesome to roll with knowledgeable, patient, and always makes training both challenging and fun. You can tell there’s a lot of pride in how the studio is run.

Great gym that offers gi and no gi with a bunch of talent without the ego. Howard Jackson is an amazing instructor and all around great human being. Drop in for a roll or make it your home gym….either way you’ll leave feeling better about yourself for it.

The coop is a great environment / group of people, but is also a room of high level people that bring a breadth of experience from other respected jiu jitsu gyms. Easily one of the best rooms in Southern California that will speed up your jiu jitsu progression.
