My kids have gained so many valuable life skills both on and off the mat -- confidence, strength, resilience, and discipline. This gym has become like a second home for us. We absolutely love all the coaches here; it's evident how much they care about the growth and development of each student. They maintain a great balance of structure and fun -- firm enough to keep the kids focused, yet encouraging and engaging so they continue to enjoy the sport. This gym is perfect for the whole family -- kids and adults alike. If you're a woman who's ever felt intimidated or never imagined yourself doing martial arts, this is the place for you. The coaches and community make it so comfortable and welcoming that I was able to ease into BJJ with confidence.

Our son began training here in 2021, during the pandemic, and I was deeply impressed by the…read moreprecautions and safety measures implemented to protect both the children and adults. This academy is, without a doubt, one of the most beginner-friendly places to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, whether for kids or adults. The coaches are not only highly skilled professionals but also teach with genuine passion and dedication. They truly care about the growth of students, both on and off the mat. The environment is welcoming and family -oriented, fostering a strong sense of community and team spirit. Additionally, the ample parking and comfortable seating for waiting parents are much appreciated. As parents, we wholeheartedly endorse this academy and are grateful to be part of its community.

I started my Jiu Jitsu journey again after a seven year hiatus. Although I was reluctant to start…read moreagain, I cannot express how lucky I was to have found Logic. I admittedly first signed up in light of the fact that the academy offers late morning classes, which perfectly fits my schedule. Although it is an odd time for most, the classes have always had plenty of students of all belt levels. Prof. Lucas and Prof. Thiago have been nothing but outstanding! It is evident that the relationships they have built with their students goes beyond merely being transactional. There is genuine care, trust and concern for everyone's wellbeing and safely. Not a second is wasted during class. The instructors are always open to questions and concerns about the techniques. They tailor the classes to fit the students in attendance; so that nothing is too complex or too remedial. In my experience, my classmates have been nothing but respectful, careful and willing to help out where they can. At other academies I have never witnessed instructors for kids classes genuinely enjoying themselves. This is not the case here. Prof. Thiago beams while teaching. He is undeniably proud of and dedicated to our little ones. If our youth classes garner 1/10th the grace and respect show by Thiago, they will not only turn out to be genuinely good people, but will be confident in what they learn. I understand that writing these types of reviews are biased. But, if you have gotten this far, let me put it simply: Prof. Lucas has built a Jiu Jitsu community that allows for you to get whatever you want out of it. With different locations and instructors you can find what fits your needs. I needed a respite from the world for a few hours a weeks, where I can focus on a skill in a safe environment. I have found that and more.

I tried a free class at Midnight Jiu-Jitsu Club late January of this year (2025) and I can honestly…read moresay it has changed my life for the better. I've always wanted to train in Jiu-Jitsu but just never took the chance. Then, the Eaton Fires happened and unfortunately we had to move from Altadena to Monrovia. One of the many blessings that came after from having to move from being displaced by a fire was coming across Midnight Jiu-Jitsu. I'm sure many of you who have tried a martial art or any form of hand to hand combat training can attest how intimidating it can be to walk into a dojo for the first time. The head coach/owner Walter made me feel at ease as he was very welcoming and accommodating during my free trial beginner class. I was training with a blue belt, Derek (who was also friendly and welcoming), and was going into positions that were unfamiliar and made my abs (not visible, sadly) cramp. It was very tough - even from the beginning, but I could tell this was the place for me. I signed up after that free trial class and now have been training for about 8 months at Midnight Jiu-Jitsu. I'm not good with words - so it's hard to explain what this place means to me exactly, but it's been a huge part of my life for these past 8 months and I'm looking forward to growing with these people who became my second family. If you have any doubts, just try a free trial class like I did. It might just change your life like it has mine.

No ego, no top down mentality, we are here to help each other out through the good and bad times. Professor Walter is constantly adapting and trying new ways to teach differently everytime, not everyone learns the same, so I really enjoy seeing different perspectives and teaching methods. That's a real teacher, someone that adapts to his students and not the other way around. This is also a kids gym! Being able to have your kids play, fight and respect each other is definitely a huge lesson carried for life. Kids need ALOT of exercise, it requires problem solving skills and also disciplines them. Being able to be playful and disciplined is very hard, but Midnight instructors do it flawlessly! Do yourself a favor and bring your kid to a trial class FOR FREE!

Beyond the top-tier technical coaching, the gym culture he fosters is authentic, welcoming, and completely ego-free. Everyone from Professor Gino and the other coaches to your training partners genuinely wants to help you grow. Whether your goal is to compete or just learn solid Jiu-Jitsu in a fantastic community, I highly recommend Silanoe Martial Arts!
