My wife and I train here as well as help with the kids classes. The kids classes: Professor Dimitrios keeps the kids attention by keeping it fun but engaging. Our kids have progressed so much in the time they have trained here I recommend this academy to all my friends and coworkers with children. Self defense as well as antibullying is taught here. Kids confidence grows and we are so happy with the kids progress. THE ADULT CLASS Has been a life changing experience for my wife and I. There's so much to learn it's like chess for the body. All the movements and how they connect into a very practical art that can be utilized for self defense and sport. Health and self defense benefits aside the academy has been a place where we have gained many friendships with those who train here. Professor Dimitrios and the other coaches are very knowledgeable in the art. I have done open mat sparring at other gyms since starting here at DMBJJ and always get complimented on techniques i use or how I hold up to higher belts from other gyms... that is a testament to the knowledge Professor disperses to us and the kids.. This is a great academy! Come on in a try a class!

This place has no regard for the safety of kids. My son is a beginner at this program and they put…read morehim with a boy in an advanced group. This boy then proceeded to slam my son dome down with so much force he hit the back of his head against the floor mat. The advanced boy then put my son in a choke hold, My son was terrified and began to cry while he was being choked. As a concerned parent I stepped in to speak with the teacher that was supervising them and tell him to stop this immediately, my son is a beginner and he shouldn't have been placed with someone as advanced as the other little boy. When I asked him why would they put a beginner student with an advanced student, the teacher replied with, "this is how they learn." The anger I felt at that moment was so strong, how can a child be expected to learn such advanced fighting maneuvers when he is getting knocked down at every try? The answer to me seems like they wanted them to fight because my son is tall for his age, they were using this as mini fight club due to my sons size instead of a teaching moment. My son is only 5 and just starting this program. He should have never been put to "fight" with a child that has been training in this for months. The blatant disregard by the teachers to seeing my son terrified and crying is infuriating. It truly shows that they do not care for the safety of our kids. I quickly went to my son and the other boy and told him to let my son go, I grabbed my son and went home. I will not be bringing my son here again, they do not care about kids safety and will stand there doing nothing while your child cries and is full of fear.

Upon entering the CTC's parking lot, I immediately observed that it has an ample, well lit parking lot that can accommodate numerous students and customers. After entering the establishment, I was warmly greeted by the owner/operator/lead instructor, Mr. Dean WELLEN who is a well accomplished black belt currently under Ryron & Rener GRACIE of GRACIE UNIVERSITY. After introductions, I was given a gracious tour of the facilities where I immediately noticed how clean everything was, including the commode and changing area. While upon the mats, I was given fantastic, informative, as well as entertaining instruction by Mr. WELLEN who not only makes you feel at home and at ease, but he allows you to work thru problems and progress, while also making it a challenge to further your skills sets. In addition, the student base is extremely friendly and accommodating which goes to show how well the culture at the CTC has been fostered under the leadership and tutelage of Mr. WELLEN. In closing, if you're looking for high level instruction in a fun and friendly environment, with an emphasis on self defense and sport Jiu Jitsu, this is your spot. It's the type of school where you can train alongside your loved one or drop your teenager or toddler off at and not worry one bit. Bravo to Gracie Jiu Jitsu Long Beach. You have a new fan and customer. Thank you!

You can roll until your heart's content at the end of class.  The gym is superbly clean. They have ghostbusters vacuum cleaners, alcohol spray to wipe your feet prior to getting onto the mat. I wish all gyms did this to keep feet and hands clean. Plenty of benches for parents to watch their kids. They have actual hand soap and paper towels in two individual bathrooms. Real fucking toilet paper. Changing rooms for both women and men with locker. There is even a separate room with mat space for privates.  The mat space is incredibly spacious with custom fuji mats. Cubbies for your belongings, a water filter station, and kettlebells.  The vibe of the community is very island vibes. Guam, Hawaii, Philippines and more. Make an effort to check out and you know what I mean.  The coaches are in it for life. There are so many black belts that are there you can learn from. Each with their own style. Want to compete?
