I honestly couldn't ask for a better team for both of my boys! The coaches here are friendly, supportive, and excellent role models. They create a welcoming environment while teaching discipline, respect, hard work, and confidence - lessons that go far beyond martial arts. As a parent, I truly appreciate the positive influence they have on my boys and the care they put into coaching them. We're grateful to be part of this academy and highly recommend it to other families! Honestly, they became a part of our life and our weekly routine. There hasn't been a day when either one of my boys would say they no longer want to attend. Thank you guys for putting your heart and soul into what you do and being so genuine.

My 6-year old son started here about a month and a half ago. I found them on Yelp and called to ask…read moreif he could try it out. Professor Bruno was super chill and told him that he can drop in any time they had the kids class so he could try it out, free of charge. On the trial day, Professor Bruno made him feel like he was already part of the ZR Woodland Hills Brazilian Jiu-jitsu family. He lent him a Gi so he didn't feel left out, and right away got him engaged in what they were doing. My son now goes 4 times a week, and his techniques have improved a lot. The vibe of the place is really chill (I know I use that word a lot, but that's the best word to describe this place), but also motivating, encouraging, and FUN! I appreciate how patient all of the instructors are, and how repetitive they can be so that the kids can really understand the techniques. I also admire how Professor Bruno can be silly with the kids, and how compassionate he can be when they're feeling down. I highly recommend trying them out sometime. You'll just have to see for yourself!

The camaraderie between the students is refreshing to see. They lift each other up and encourage one another and at the same time take their technique/sparring/growth seriously. Our boys have been a part of this studio for almost a year and their skill level continues to grow with each class. We've also seen a big improvement in their self esteem, respect for self and others, and teamwork. We absolutely love this studio, professor and coaches!! Highly recommend!

Would not recommend this gym at all…read more I (blue belt) recently dropped at this gym and rolled with another blue belt. Halfway in I sweep this guy and when he regains footing his hand lowers down and I somehow get clocked in the face. Fine, such is life. It happens. Not even 30 seconds later, he's in my guard and stands up to open it, but when he can't, he gets angry and hammer punches down on my face. I immediately stop the roll and tell him I'm done. I say "you punched in the face twice." All he has to say is "oops", with a smug grin on his face. After the class I tell the instructor what happened and he goes "oh, don't worry I know that guy he's super nice he didn't do that on purpose. The other day, that same guy kneed me in the face and gave me a bloody nose." I go "don't you think if this guy is kneeing and punching people that you should maybe talk to him and tell him to chill out?" The instructor goes "nah man that's jiu jitsu. In fact I'm glad this happened to you because jiu jitsu is a combat sport and this will prepare you for a real fight." Overall horrible experience from both the training members and the management. I understand that accidents will happen especially in an environment like jiu jitsu. But to have management actively condone the act of punching someone in the face is simply unacceptable. I will not be going back to this gym ever again, and I suggest anyone reading to do the same.
