UACTP is such an amazing place to visit. I have visited the gym a handful of times for BJJ Seminars, and they always have an amazing lineup of world renowned guests. The mats are clean, and the small setting definitely gives the seminars a different feel since you are able to almost have a 1 on 1 with the seminar guest at times. Furthermore, the host black belts are also always very welcoming, and they treat everyone with respect regardless of where you train. I often get invited to their open mats, which hopefully I will one day actually oblige.

Visited LA and had to check out the gym. The staff and coaches were friendly as hell, and the whole UACTP community had an incredibly welcoming vibe. Definitely glad I stopped by. Will be back fs!

Beautiful facility with showers, very high level and technical instructors. In particular, Professor Haueter is a 6th degree black belt and a pioneer in our art. Learning from him is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I’ve attended three grappling seminars so far at UACTP-LA, and each one has been a valuable learning experience. The workshops are well-structured, lasting three hours with plenty of time for training and asking questions. They’re definitely worth the price of admission and a great investment in building knowledge. The staff is polite and professional. I train with Coach Jeff Obar and the crew during the Saturday morning free rolls. I highly recommend this gym for both its seminars and jiu-jitsu classes.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at UACTP. The facility itself is nothing short of amazing, offering top-notch amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, particularly Alexis, made my visit exceptional. Alexis provided me with an excellent tour of the facility, showcasing its impressive features and ensuring I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived. He efficiently set me up for my class, taking care of all the details and making the process seamless. Alexis was also incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all of my questions. UACTP offers a diverse range of training options, including yoga, boxing, jiu-jitsu, and strength and conditioning. The quality of instruction and the level of expertise in each discipline are truly remarkable. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, UACTP provides exceptional training opportunities that cater to all skill levels. I highly recommend UACTP for anyone seeking a top-of-the-line training facility with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The combination of the amazing facility, skilled instructors, and Alexis' outstanding assistance truly sets UACTP apart.
