    The gym!
    Nick H.

    AWESOME experience so far with Tony and the entire Carlson Gracie coaching staff. They provide personalized coaching to ALL of their students, regardless of age group. For younger ones, Tony and the coaching staff keep them entertained and coach them on how to protect themselves. For adults like myself, they help with all levels of skill and provide hands-on coaching where you truly see improvements every week. The best part yet, is the current price....get in while you can now! This level of training/coaching excellence should cost way more! SUPER welcoming environment all around and made it easy for a beginner like me to get started and see vast improvements already. Big THANK YOU to Tony and his coaching staff!

    My son does No-Gi Jiu Jitsu. We happen to be in the Costa Mesa area and found this hidden gem. Though we don't wear Gi, Professor Joshua M., was happy to let us drop in and take his class. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable with his techniques. Even going as far as knowing the terminology our system uses to better help my boy understand. If you're looking for a gym for your kids, yourself, or a friend, I definitely suggest Carlson Gracie Costa Mesa.

    Hands down the best decision we've made for our daughter…read more Our daughter has been attending Gracie Barra Costa Mesa for a year now and the growth we've witnessed in her both on and off the mats has been incredible. The level of instruction here is unmatched. Every coach brings not just technique and discipline but heart and intention to every class. They see each student's potential and push them to rise to it. She has advanced so much thanks to their dedication and more importantly she's gained confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging that carries into every area of her life. Jiu jitsu is more than a martial art. It is a way of life. It teaches humility, patience, manners, self-control, and problem-solving. Even at her young age, we've seen her carry herself with more focus, awareness, and kindness. She is stronger physically and mentally because of it. The studio is clean and welcoming with an energy that makes you want to stay. They offer Kangan water which is a huge bonus. There's always plenty of parking and the community here is full of amazing people who genuinely support one another. The vibes are just different--uplifting, positive, and empowering. Gracie Barra Costa Mesa isn't just a place to train. It is a place to grow. Whether you're looking for a powerful way to build confidence in your child or you're an adult wanting to challenge yourself in a life changing way, this is the spot. I couldn't recommend it more.

    5/5 Review: Gracie Barra Costa Mesa Jiu-Jitsu -- Professor Elon Sets the Standard…read more Training at Gracie Barra Costa Mesa Jiu-Jitsu has been one of the better decisions we've made for our boy Ben's fitness, discipline, and personal growth. Professor Elon leads with exceptional technical knowledge, patience, and professionalism. He has a unique way of breaking down complex techniques so students at all levels -- from white belt to black -- can truly understand and apply them. The energy on the mats is focused yet welcoming. Every class challenges you to get better, but the environment remains positive, respectful, and supportive. The team embodies the true Gracie Barra values of discipline, integrity, and community. The facility itself is spotless, well-organized, and clearly run with pride. Whether you're looking to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense, improve fitness, or join a Costa Mesa BJJ family, this academy delivers. Professor Elon's leadership and attention to detail make all the difference -- he pushes you to grow technically, mentally, and physically every single class. #GracieBarra #CostaMesa #JiuJitsu #BJJ #BrazilianJiuJitsu #ProfessorElon #MartialArts #SelfDefense #OCFitness #Discipline #Community

We're practically there every day of the week. Initially, we did try other gyms and landed on Praia. Why do we love Praia? 1. The coaches- each coach has their unique style and strengths and my daughter appreciates each coach for different things but what they all have in common is their devotion to the love of the sport and they teach in a way where they break things down so the kids can understand. They're patient, they make things fun and they show the kids how to respect others and the mat. 2. The owner Thiago, definition of a true small business owner. Literally building everything from the ground up with real values, hard work, and genuine care for the members of the gym. 3. Clean gym- they're constantly wiping down the mats. The bathroom is always clean. It's never stuffy or smells like sweat. My two daughters and husband go here. We love it for my younger daughter because it's a place for her work on her coordination, make friends and learn discipline and respect. My oldest daughter competes in tournaments and we wouldn't have learned about her skill if it wasn't for Praia. She's learning new skills on and off the mat. With the support of her coaches- she learns how to be a team player, how to deal with tough situations and losses and how to try again and again and again. I would highly recommend Praia to any friends, family or strangers.

You can really tell they take a true ical approach -- it's not just about teaching techniques, but about building confidence, discipline, and respect. Every coach is attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about each child's progress. What I love most is how they know exactly how to connect with kids and keep them engaged while still maintaining structure and professionalism. The environment is supportive, positive, and very well organized. I highly recommend Praia Jiu-Jitsu to any parent looking for a place where their child will not only learn jiu-jitsu, but also grow as a person.

We tried several other trial classes before, but I can confidently say that Triunfo is the best MMA/jiu-jitsu gym for both adults and kids. Every instructor is incredibly patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping each child thrive. You can tell they truly care. The drills, structure, and sparring are thoughtfully done and really help build confidence, discipline, and focus in a fun and safe way. A special thank you to Chelsea for welcoming my son with open arms from day one it honestly makes me emotional thinking about how supported he has felt here. The entire staff has been so patient with him, encouraging him, guiding him, and teaching him all the "bad-ass" moves he loves while still keeping everything age-appropriate and positive.

Now two years in, I can honestly say this place has played a huge role in my development as a jiu jitsu practitioner. Coach Ron Turner is now my coach, and training under him has been next level. He's been a black belt for over 25 years and it shows -- the depth of knowledge he brings to every class is insane. He's sharp, technical, and detail-oriented, but also brings a relaxed, approachable vibe that makes learning from him easy and motivating. Whether it's fine-tuning the basics or layering on more advanced concepts, Coach Ron teaches in a way that clicks. Beyond the coaching, the community here is still one of my favorite parts. I've had the chance to roll with people from all walks of life and build friendships that go way beyond the mats. The culture at 10th Planet Costa Mesa is competitive, supportive, and real -- no egos, just people trying to get better and help each other level up. Also worth mentioning -- the gym stays clean. The mats are cleaned properly after class, every time, and it shows. That matters to me, and I know it does to others too. If you're thinking about trying jiu jitsu or looking for a place to train consistently with high-level people and quality coaching, this is the spot. You'll grow here.

Coach Carlos and Coach Mason are absolutely phenomenal--they're not only knowledgeable and skilled, but incredibly attentive and engaging with the kids. They know how to keep the energy high and the kids excited to learn every time they step on the mat. Beyond the jiu-jitsu skills, my boys have gained so much confidence and discipline through this program. It's clear that the coaches truly care about the kids, and the environment they've created feels like one big supportive family. I'm beyond happy with our experience at Gracie Huntington Beach and would 100% recommend it to anyone--whether for your kids or yourself.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu HB located off Hamilton/Brookhurst in the Trader Joe's shopping center is very easy to find next to Bo's Bagel & Coffee with plenty of parking. The studio itself is very clean (highly critical) is a bit small, but it surprisingly has enough room to practice the combatives. Coach Carlos & his team are very passionate, knowledgeable, dedicated and kind and have so much patience with newcomers. I immediately felt welcome and excited to learn the many techniques without any fear. There is a variety of classes & times offered for both seeking adults or for children and even a self defense class strictly for women called Women Empowered. Whether you've tried martial arts previously or not, I feel Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is structured so well that you cannot fail to embrace it. If you've never tried martial arts, I invite you to come by and do the 10-day trial to explore a new way of life. I feel even in the short few weeks challenging myself to learn something new, I've developed a quiet confidence. I am in love with the idea of self mastery and believe I will be a lifelong student of Jiu jitsu!

What started as a class to build confidence has grown into something so much more. Coach James Boran is more than just an exceptional martial artist--he's a remarkable human being. A black belt under Joe Moreira and one of the original "Dirty Dozen" (the first 12 non-Brazilians to earn a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), Coach Boran brings decades of experience, fierce competitive spirit, and technical mastery to every class. But what sets him apart isn't just his accolades--which include World Masters and Pan American titles--it's his unmatched patience, consistency, and heart. He teaches Jiu-Jitsu, yes--but he also teaches character. Through his calm guidance, our son has grown into a more confident, kind, and respectful young man. He's learned how to win with humility and lose with grace. He's learned the value of discipline, the strength of perseverance, and the joy of hard work. We've seen real transformation. Our son is happier, more grounded, and carries himself with pride--not just because of what he can do on the mats, but because of the person he's becoming off them. And that's because of Coach Boran. If you're looking for a place that teaches Jiu-Jitsu at the highest level while nurturing character, community, and resilience, look no further. Boran Jiu-Jitsu is a rare gem, and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of it.
