    What a great place to learn/train in jiu jitsu. The Instructors are dedicated, patience. They have the way of making complicated techniques, simple. I am a senior and it's been a great journey for me and would encourage you, regardless of age to try it out. #lovebeingawhitebelt

    My 9-year-old son enjoys the lessons, and I see him building confidence. The classes are great; they divide the kids by age and have a roughly even number of boys and girls. My son's favorite part is that at the end of each lesson, they play a quick game of dodgeball with oversized yoga ball.

    Brought our 5 year old son to try Jiu Jitsu in November 2021. We were recommended through a friend. Gracie Barra offered a 1 week trial for free, no catch. For his age group it was either a M/W and Sat class or T/Th and Sat class. He loved it, so we signed up! The coaches are patient and attentive with the kids. And stern when needed. My child has learned a lot in the few months we have been there. His focus has improved a lot as well. They were also very kind and accommodating when we needed to take a break in January. They let us pause payments to take care of a family emergency. We truly enjoy coming to watch our son and the other kids learn and have fun at the same time!

    Been coming for two years now! Great place to learn Jiu-Jitsu! I hope to continue coming and growing in my Jiu-Jitsu journey! All the coaches are really helpful and it's a nice friendly environment! If you ever wanted to give Jiu-Jitsu give it a try, I know they offer like a 3 day free trial, so come check them out!

Check out who he has trained under, trained with, and trained up. There is a reason Lucas is such a popular and well known figure in the Brazilian Jiujitsu community. There is nobody harder working for his students than Lucas. But be warned: as nice and caring as Lucas is, he won't let you slack off. He won't let you cheat yourself. Which is why we love him. This gym is full of all types. We have competitors who have brought home world championship titles in Gi, no Gi, under all rule sets, and at all weight and belt levels. We also have those who, like me, don't focus on competing but are there more as "sport practitioners" who use it as a way to get in shape, learn something new, and push ourselves to be better. We have those there solely for weight loss and confidence building. We have those that take it for self defense, and others who train because it helps their mental health. The kids program is robust and extremely well run with daily classes, parents, come have your child get some confidence and burn off all their energy before bed. I pray I can train as long as physically able to under Lucas and beside my team mates here at Checkmat La Habra.

What stands out immediately is the depth of instruction; he teaches actual technique rather than just a general physical education (PE). The classes balance the technicality of martial arts with core values like discipline, confidence, and respect, all while maintaining a lighthearted, age-appropriate environment that keeps the kids engaged and having fun. He truly goes the extra mile for his students and their families, hosting seasonal events that foster a wonderful sense of community. In speaking with him and observing his classes, it is clear he is both a proficient master of his craft and a genuinely good person. That warmth and patience clearly stems from his own experience as a father who has raised several children of his own. I highly recommend this academy. The rates are fair, and the environment is incredibly sincere. If you are looking for a place for yourself or your children to train, I encourage you to stop in and observe a class.

Coach Mark and his team are very courteous and attentive. They treat the children like their own. They teach physical and mental toughness as well as empathy and good sportsmanship. I recommend Gridlock academy all my friends and family.

    My son has been attending Teragi for the last two years, so this review has been long overdue…read more The most important thing for myself was sending my child to a self defense art that actually applied practical methods of protecting oneself as well as a place that exemplified respect and self dependence. I've been to places where it seemed salesy or lacking authenticity. Teragi Academy is a place where they genuinely practice and instill jiu jitsu and its culture of honor and regard of others. The promotion of belts is carried out quarterly and only awarded based on merit. This is also something I greatly appreciate because I know many establishments that give out promotions for no reason at all. Since day one, the professors and coaches of this gym have been patient and meticulous in teaching techniques to the kids. Teragi has been instrumental in providing confidence as well as self awareness for my son. I've seen many of the other kids mature in their own ways for the past 2 years. It's always a wonder to see everyone come up together. For myself and my family, we seen so much growth and discipline in our boy. There's a comfort in knowing that our child is not left helpless and able to stand up himself as well as for others. I've been watching in the sidelines, two to three times a week, for the last 2 years. This is a program that provides a worthwhile experience.

It's also one of the nicest facilities I've seen with a large rolling area and a side area with tables and couches for kids to hangout and wait if I'm doing an adult class. Teragi is worth a visit!
