Gracie Beverly Hills (GBH) is a great choice for jiu jitsu, whether you are a beginner or a player…read morewith experience. After researching options, I chose to join this school. If you don't know, GBH is affiliated with Gracie University: the home of BJJ in the United States founded by UFC creator Rorion Gracie, the visionary son of Helio Gracie (the originator of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). In short, if you believe pedigree matters, look no further. Gracie University is now run by Rorion's sons, Ryron and Rener, who continue to develop the Gracie philosophy, which aims to encourage and retain students. Mike Everett, GBH's owner, is a Gracie black belt (search YT for "flowmaster mike") and runs the academy as a "Level 4" training center. This means GBH has programs suited for players with widely different goals. Whether motivated to learn self-defense or prefer to test yourself in competition, there are classes and players here that will work with you to achieve those goals in a friendly and cooperative atmosphere. The Gracie system lets the individual work at his/her own pace. As a Level 4 training center, GBH's program is authorized to instruct in techniques that can lead to the coveted Gracie black belt. At GBH, classes are structured to develop students wholistically, from a Combatives program that teaches the basics to a Masters Cycle program that allows more advanced students to grow. Also, there are private lessons as well as a great kid's program, with students young and old, male and female. All classes are structured to give students exposure to a wide variety of techniques, including the opportunity to test and perfect them through sparring. The facilities are conveniently located in the heart of Beverly Hills, with a friendly staff and patronage. Importantly, the mats are clean and well maintained. Also, there are private changing rooms and showers, which are not always found at other schools. I made the decision to join 5 years ago, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

They don't return calls or emails! No idea if they are still open. Annoying! Feel free to respond…read moreand hopefully I can change this review.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with handshakes from everyone, which immediately set the…read moretone. At first I thought people were confusing me with someone else, but I quickly realized that's just the culture here. I started with their 4-week beginner program and had a really positive experience. The professors are not only friendly and approachable, but also world-class. They pay close attention to everyone to make sure you feel comfortable and are learning the techniques correctly. Starting BJJ can feel intimidating, but they've created a safe and supportive environment that makes it much easier to stay consistent. That's important for a sport like this where progress takes time. What initially drew me in was Cobrinha's philosophy, and it absolutely lives up to the reputation. I'd encourage anyone to learn about it directly from him. I've been meaning to write this for a while, but I'm proud to be a member here now. This is a great place to start your BJJ journey.

It's been a 1.5 years now and I think an updated review is much needed!…read more My son is thriving! This is the best decision my husband and I could have made for him. He is 5 now and takes his jiujitsu very seriously, he understands the stripe and belt promotion. He asks his dad how many more classes until he gets a stripe after every class. He doesn't want to miss class ( he only misses when he's sick or we're sick). He has shown so much growth over the course of his time here. It wasn't always this easy. My son was months from turning 4 when we started. He was a kid who lost interest fast and didn't always listen but we stuck with it and now we're here!! He understands that you get what you put into it, he knows if he trains hard (stays focused, listens to his coaches, practices ) he gets a stripe. He's become so much more disciplined. These classes have helped enhance his listening and visual learning skills as kids are taught techniques and moves they must replicate. This isn't a "lesser" jiujitsu course because they're little kids, the Little Cobra classes actually teach kids real jiujitsu. Real life lessons. We started with 2 days a week and my son himself asked if he could do classes 3 times a week!!! So we listened, we signed him up for an extra day and it's the best thing we could have done for him. He LOVES it here. The coaches are the best! His main coach left at the end of December and I was worried that class wouldn't be the same but it was. All the coaches have such a love and passion for this sport that it shows when they teach the next generations of athletes. Every class is better than the last one. Every child should be enrolled here! Our second son will definitely follow in his brother's footsteps once he turns 4! I would sign him up now if I could ( he's 7 months old lol)!! This is also a great way to bond with your kids. My husband and son have gotten so much closer because all they talk about is jiujitsu!

Before being an athlete at 10th Planet West LA: I had less self confidence, worried way too much…read moreabout other peoples words, and could get my butt kicked by almost all people. I think Coach Scott understands, better than most, that everyone comes froms different backgrounds, and individully tailors each persons training to maximize each persons self improvement. For instance, when your body language is positive, coach will challenge your insecurities you have unintetionally or intentionally mentioned, which in my opinion strenthens inner confidence and also helps you not get a big head. This is what sets him apart in the best way possible, in my opinion. Very greatful and thankful that you allowed me to train at your gym. 6 stars, period.

Very stoked to have the opportunity to train nogi jiujitsu here in the West LA / Beverly Hills area…read morewith the 10th planet West Los Angeles team . I've been training for years and tried quite a few other gyms. Scott has a talented staff with knowledge and experience that is hard to find in other places. I train to focus on self defense for a my job/ working conditions and having an instructor that's a former MMA fighter, really caters to that desire. But that doesn't take away from advance jiujitsu techniques that are also covered in these classes. In my experience 10p WLA offers a wide selection to those who wish to learn self defense, get into shape for new year or even those who are looking to level up their jiujitsu skills. Thanks to 10p WLA this year I'm down 20lbs.

If you're a blue belt and up, you're going to love this gym. The instructors and other students are extremely knowledgeable. Professor Menamy was trained under Rickson Gracie. Others have learned things from world renowned martial artists. Perks: -You can wear any color gi (some gyms make you wear white gi only) -two bathrooms, both with a shower which is pretty neat -very sanitary -dimmed lighting, no fluorescent hospital lights -you can purchase sets of class passes (4 classes, 6 classes, 1 class, 3x weekly for a month, and unlimited classes for a month)

However, I walked away from the academy. Some of the students(including one who ran for governor during the recall election for ca. governor, and "informed" me that Gavin Newsom was a pedophile).bought into RW talking points and Covid misinformation, and I frankly felt uncomfortable, especially as a Black Man. I would've left it there and said nothing. However, after tweeting about my experience(without naming Martin or the academy), I was approached by one of their senior students/instructors while I was out working. How he found me, I don't know. but it wasn't happenstance. Although there was no direct threat made, it was certainly implied. It's especially galling because I was a long-time student here. But, I guess those on the "right" feel they can intimidate anyone now, for any reason. In any case, I'm training a different martial art now, no worries. But I'll never touch Systema again.
