I can't say enough good things about Canvas Jiu Jitsu. I originally trained jiu jitsu in my 30s but…read moreeventually quit. I came back to it in my mid 40s, and I'm so grateful I found Canvas. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. Anthony has created an environment where you can work hard, challenge yourself, and learn without feeling intimidated. The coaches and students are incredibly supportive, and I've always felt welcomed here. Coming back to jiu jitsu after so many years was intimidating, especially being older, but I never felt like I didn't belong or couldn't keep up. Training at Canvas has helped me become more confident, pushed me outside of my comfort zone, and even gave me the courage to compete again. If you've been thinking about trying jiu jitsu, or even coming back to it after a long break like I did, I highly recommend Canvas. I'm really grateful to have found a place where I genuinely look forward to training and continuing to get better.

Instructors are very experienced with boxing and kick boxing which is the classes I signed up for. They also don't mind helping out if your confused and even with feedback. The members in the class are all at different levels of skill which is great because you get to learn from them. As someone with 8 years of experience with Taekwondo. Boxing was very new and different for me but I had alot of fun there and lastly the workout is great!! Maybe once things calm down with what I have going on I'll return to train here.

A HIDDEN JUDO and JIU JITSU (BJJ) GEM IN TORRANCE…read more It's genuinely RARE to find a dojo where world-class instructors teach both Judo and BJJ. The blend of BOTH martial arts are perfectly executed at Zumi Academy in harmony. TRUST ME, I've been to over a handful of gyms across the SoCal and the USA. THREE Reasons why I signed up here? #1 SCREENING PROCESS What's unique is that every student is thoughtfully screened before joining to ensure they align w/Zumi's VALUES and keep the environment safe and positive for everyone involved. It's a process that goes both ways which leads me to #2 #2 PROVEN CALIBER OF INSTRUCTION Professor Clifton, Aaron, Joon, Sarah, Brianna, and Tadashi bring decades of proven experience as multiple BLACK BELTS in both Judo and/or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They've all built SUCCESSFUL programs that support students of all levels to grow making every class welcoming, effective, enjoyable, and focused on your personal progression/goal(s). #3 SYSTEM OF CURRICULUM Zumi academy's curriculum thoughtfully integrates the art and PHILOSOPHY of both Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, emphasizing not just physical technique but also personal growth, discipline, and resilience. This approach creates lasting value for students of all ages and experience levels, EMPOWERING everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes, to grow both on and off the mats. Parking + BONUS 5/5 Parking is a breeze, which takes the stress out of getting to class not to mention Nijiya Market is next door for BENTOS and GRAB-N-GO food or Red Rock that often times has a line. Zumi Academy isn't just a place to train but a community where your journey in martial arts transforms into a lifelong source of strength, self confidence, and relationship building.

Candyce keeps it fun while she kicks my butt and changes up my routine every few weeks. She's great at explaining why she's having me do each exercise and at showing me how to do them.
