Signed my kid up so they'd learn confidence and discipline. Instead, I accidentally created a tiny ninja who now reminds me to stay balanced and demonstrates "just one move" every time I walk by. lol The coaches are amazing, patient, encouraging, and somehow able to keep a room full of energetic kids focused (which honestly deserves its own black belt). My child absolutely loves coming here and asks when the next class is before we've even made it home. 10/10 would recommend... just be prepared to become your child's favorite practice dummy. read more

One Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts Near Me - Tustin, California

Highly recommend this place; they have a great team of professional instructors. Giva and Mo are all amazing. Great kids and adults program. They are also very accommodating towards new students, with fundamentals and advanced classes too read more

If you're reading this review - JUST DO IT! Stop by and check out a session, take that trial class, sign up for the membership! I joined the adults program 8 months ago without any experience in jiu jitsu or wrestling and found a great community here at ONE. The coaches and classmates do an awesome job at creating a welcoming and fun environment to learn for any skill level. I'm happy to have found ONE and would recommend them to anyone looking to start or grow their jiu jitsu! read more

Our kids have been going here for over a year and love it. Thank you professor Mo and professor Giva for all that you do for the community as well as making our kids enjoy jiu jitsu. read more

I've been training at One Jiu Jitsu for six years, and it's been one of the most impactful communities I've ever been part of. This isn't just a gym. It's a place that builds real relationships. Some of the people I met on these mats stood next to me in my wedding. That alone speaks to the culture. It's also incredibly beginner friendly. I've watched brand new students walk in nervous and unsure, and within weeks they're confident, supported, and improving quickly. The coaching staff meets people where they are while still holding a high technical standard. I've visited other academies throughout the years while traveling, and nothing compares. The instruction from Professor Giva, Mo, Wellington, and Caio is elite. Their attention to detail, structure in class, and ability to develop both competitors and hobbyists sets the tone for everything. I've also watched the kids program grow over the years. The structure, discipline, and confidence they instill in those kids is impressive. I don't have kids yet, but when I do, there's no question where they'll be training. Training here is the part of my day I look forward to most. If you're looking for high-level jiu jitsu in a welcoming, professional environment, this is it. read more

Great instructors and great discipline for kids. My son is doing really well and highly recommend

I have nothing but great things to say about this gym and the amazing people running it, specifically Mo. He is down to earth, funny, personable and easy to strike a conversation with him which sets the tone for the gym. I have gone to other gyms which feel more clinical and lack the community feeling to it. I'm never leaving this gym and look forward to my daughter starting up here soon. read more

Our family had a very positive experience here for the last year. We experienced the preschool and youth programs on various days throughout the week. Although the classes are often crowded I believe the structure works well for the kids and the professors are always adding additional coaches. Thank you professors and coaches... our jiu jitsu journey will continue in another state. read more

I've also had the privilege to drop-in 2 months ago to the preschool program and can see how she's grown beyond the mats. She physically became stronger but also, more importantly, became much more confident in the things she does even if it means that she might be wrong. Professor Mo is wonderful at introducing the kids to the program and I love seeing how patient he is with the smaller ones. Professor Giva breaks down every techniques and simplify them for the kids to understand. I've also had the privilege to drop-in and attend one of their adult classes. To say the least that I was mindblown when watching Professor Wellington roll because he is amazingly fluid. It was like watching art being in motion and all I was able to do was drop my jaw in amazement because he is probably the tallest/biggest person in the school and he moves as if he's one of the smaller guys. read more

One Jiu Jitsu - Saturday morning class - Martial Arts Near Me - Tustin, California

My family and I have a passion for jiu jitsu and One Jiu Jitsu is by far one of the best places for us to practice the art while making new friends. Everyone is kind , experienced and very helpful. If you are to jiu jitsu or have been training for a while here hands down you will grow with the art and sport. read more

We've been at One for a year and a half and love it. The Professors are encouraging and patient. No one in our family did a contact sport prior to starting Jiujitsu, so our learning curve is steep. The higher belts here are also so kind. This place has a very inclusive and inspiring culture. They have plenty of classes to fit various levels and schedules and an awesome monthly women's class. read more

My son and daughter loves this place! The professors (that's what the teachers are called) work really well with kids. I can see their confidence boosted ever since coming here 3 months ago. Very well organized and they teach not only jiujitsu but also endurance, hard work, and not giving up. Highly recommend to parents looking to provide a life skill for their kids read more

One Jiu Jitsu - Students getting their stripes (leveling up). - Martial Arts Near Me - Tustin, California

I had my 6 year old at several places but some places just did not have enough instructors or left the kids out to baby sit and the it was the prisoners running the jail. Since I started him here, the teachers at CDC have said they have noticed a difference in him this year. He is much more on task and more confident on how he walks around. Upon first day at BJJ, I was taken aback by the student and teacher ratio that was in class. For every 4-6 kids there was one instructor. On top of that the same instrutors stays with the group. I was also suprised that the instructors were high ranking belts. There are several black belts teaching the children class! The instructions was impressive as well. I was taken aback not only about the detail that they go thru with the kids but also the degree of enthusiasm instill into my 6 year old. My little guy would come home and ask me to play pass the guard and other in class games he learned. More shocking was the facility and the aesthetic of the place. I have never seen a gym that was so clean. The place was white all over the place. In adition to that every student is required to wipe their feet before they go on the mats. I was so impressed with everything that I decided to sign up for the class and now we have a father and son both signed up. Pretty cool how things worked out, I thoguht I was going to get my son into jiu jitsu but he got me to sign up instead. lol The community here is awesome. This place serves as a hub for the community. You will see old friends, parents from school, and people from church here. Finally, the adult training is awesome. I was initially nervous at first becuse of stepping into a new gym but everyone is really friendly and makes you feel welcome and would not hesistate to recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

My two teens began taking classes here a few months ago and have loved it! The professors are knowledgeable and supportive and classes are well structured while still allowing the people there to have fun and challenge themselves. I see nothing but smiling faces at the end of the classes. Tired but smiling. read more

The best gym I've been to. Great coaches. Bring your kids to class. Thanks for all. Oss read more

One Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts Near Me - Tustin, California

As an old judo practitioner, I was looking for a dojo with a traditional value; respect, good teachings with sincerity, and love for the art. I truly believe I found the right place to start my training as a BJJ white belt. I am humbled by the professors in this school for their knowledge and their love for the students. You can truly feel the respect amongst the peers and the professors. So much so that I felt it was the place for my daughter to start training here. She and I now are two students at the same dojo, and my daughter truly loves the workout and the teachings. I am so glad I found this place. read more

We love this place. Great instructors and I love how their teacher to kids ratio is great. Super organized and great. Absolutely would recommend it. read more

Thank you all for the warm welcome and support. read more

One Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts Near Me - Tustin, California

We've been here 2 years now and I can't say enough about One Jiu Jitsu. All of the professors are amazing in teaching the kids not only Jiujitsu but moral values like acceptance, courage, compassion, hard work and list goes on. Our kids have learned so much from this family-like environment. We are glad to have found this amazing place. read more

This place has become my second home, and I can truly say- ALL the professors are the most genuine people you will ever meet. I never would have thought - the people I fight on the mats will become some of my closest friends. Everyone here is so encouraging, and I leave here a better person. read more

My son used to go to a bigger gym in Costa Mesa that's pretty well known but we prefer this one hands down. We've been here for a year and a half now and am very much pleased with the coaches and the genuine attention they give to the kids. The vibe is overall very friendly and home-y. Thank you coaches!! read more

To those apprehensive about training during these covid times. Let me just say that you'll find no better place to train than onejj. Through extensive preparation and diligence through the proper channels, Professor Giva and Professor Mo provide a level of security, cleanliness and professionalism that really is unparalleled in the California market. I am not one to take what's currently going on (covid) at all lightly. However, after attending their recent classes I can clearly see that they really put the safety and well being of their students above all else. Overall First timer experience: Absolutely newbie friendly with curriculums that are accessible to all, no matter the level. The workout: As much as they focus on technique, they equally focus on conditioning. They make it a point that technique and conditioning can not exist without the other. You'll soon find that the drills and workouts are very tough. you will definitely be drenched in sweat but I can guarantee by the end you'll love it. (Note:if the sweat bothers you, don't worry. At the end of every class the mats, posts, floors, locker rooms/restrooms are all disinfected and cleaned down. From my observations this has always been the protocol way before covid ever started.) The technique: The onejj team really takes the time to make sure you understand the theory and mechanics that goes into every single technique. I really appreciate the level of attention to detail that they take with all their students, brand new or seasoned. Really shows that they care that you're doing it correctly. If you have a fear that you won't get any technical attention, then squash it. Cause they'll pull you aside an make sure you get it right lol. The students: the community and culture at this gym is also top notch! haven't found anything toxic about it. Not joking either! You won't find any of that politics or clique bs here. You'll find all sorts of characters too. all chill and willing to help you grow, as the community is more reminiscent of a funny oddball family than anything else lol. There is all sorts of people who train here. From high tier competitors, smooth operators, gentle brutes, technical nerds, aspiring newbies, nonchalant hobbiests. The list goes on and on. What ever level you are training at, you'll pretty much find a person here to match or push your tempo, ez. (Tbh most of the time it's push your tempo lol. what ever doesn't kill you right?) But anyways. My words are just letters on a screen. Go check it out and see for yourself. Also, if you don't have a GI they let you rent one. Don't worry they're always washed and cleaned so you're always smelling bounce fresh. Tldr: 10/10 This place is great, very clean. Super newbie friendly. People that frequent are friendly, very chill and helpful. Workouts are tough and very rewarding. Techniques are high teir rock solid. Staff is very nice, super knowledgeable and patient. Also great place to make friends if you care about that stuff. If not, then epic place to grind, learn, and do lab work. read more

Wellington, Giva, and Mo are excellent at what they do. Mo is responsive when you email him. Giva, Wellington, and Mo are empathetic, compassionate, kind, understanding, and, most of all, funny. They know how to make everyone laugh with all those push-ups or at a given right moment. They demonstrate a superb balance with how they deal with their students. My children, especially my daughter, are comfortable with peers and the teaching/instructions. The instructor's professionalism and good-heartedness extend to how their students' behavior, a positive reinforcement, respect, or should I say "hespect" lol! Although I have not used one, I admire the female locker room with basic feminine needs for those emergency times. read more

I brought my 3 1/2 year old daughter Madison in for the first time yesterday and she is hooked. These guys are awesome and I can's wait to see how this journey unfolds. Thank you guys. read more

My son Logan is loving it! Amazing class, lots of instructors for each training session, I'm happy to have made the change to One.

This review is long overdue because it's hard to put into words what this place is to me and my family. All of the Professors are knowledgeable and experienced. They all put their heart and soul into this gym and what they do. Perfect place for adults and children to train. Extremely family friendly environment. read more

One Jiu Jitsu has been awesome. My 5 year old has been attending regularly for about 3 weeks so far and really enjoys it. He's on the high energy side and can have a hard time focusing sometimes. I feel like all the instructors do an excellent job with the younger kids. They are engaged the entire time and have fun, along with learning lessons and techniques that are simple enough for them to follow. They do an excellent job of keeping my son on task and work with him to make sure he's learning and involved. I would definitely recommend a visit if it's something you are interested in. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. The professors here are so kind and knowledgeable and the perfect place to go whether you are a beginner or advanced. We took my.daughter for the past 9 months or so and it has been amazing to watch her grow, develop her skill, and interact with students and staff. Again, if you are in the area and even thinking about starting, this is the place to go! read more

This is a great studio. Prof. Mo and his staff are soo good. Whether it's the children program or if you are serious and want to join in, I'd highly recommend this above other gyms. Other gyms didn't have enough teacher ratio. read more

I have been a member of One JiuJitsu for about a year and a half now. In that time, I have managed to learn more than a few things, gain in a lot of ways, and become part of what really feels like a tight-knit family. Giva, Mo, Wellington, Timmy, and all of the professors do a great job instructing in great detail and taking time to make sure everyone understands. No question is too trivial most of the time. The culture is warm and welcoming, good for competitors and casual participants alike. Highly recommend you check this place out if you're looking for somewhere to learn and grow. read more

Training at One Jiu Jitsu and Fitness has been a life changing experience for me. Throughout the years, I tried many exercise programs to try and stay in shape, but none of them ever really kept me engaged for more then a couple months. I would quickly get bored and lose the motivation to train. After hitting 30 years of age, I realized, I need to find something long term that I can do. Something I can strive to be better at, while also providing tangible results. I was really enamored with martial arts as a kid, but was way too intimidated to try. After doing lots of research, and putting on my adult pants, I decided to train Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. I researched schools in my area, and sent out emails with some questions about their programs, schedule, and asked what to expect on my first day to lower the intimidation factor for myself. Mo from One Jiu Jitsu replied promptly and provided some great info to help ease my fears. The other schools either gave me a canned answer or didnt even bother to reply. I decided to trial with One Jiu Jitsu after this exchange. I was incredibly nervous my first night, but Giva, the head instructor, took great care of me, and made sure I wasnt drowning off in the corner by myself. The students at One Jiu Jitsu were also very friendly and welcoming, and helped walked me through the many things I was missing. Their kindness, and willingness to help, motivated me to come again the next day, despite my inability to get through the warmups, and the way in which I stumbled through the drills. By the time my trial was up, I was sold that this was the martial art for me. As of writing this review, I have been attending class for a little over 6 months, averaging about 3 times a week, and its been an amazing journey. On my first day I weighed in at 236lbs, and am now hovering around 212lbs. Ive been eating much healthier not only because I want to lose weight, but because I want to perform better in class. When I eat terrible food, I can usually tell the next day as I struggle to get through the drills or rolls. If youre looking to train BJJ, I highly recommend One Jiu Jitsu and Fitness. read more

See all

Great gym, great people, no egos. Instructors make you feel welcome and there is a good mix of hobbyists and competitive Jiu jitsu players. My only complaint is that Wellington keeps beating me up but one day I'm gonna tap him out....don't tell him I said that. read more

I've been training BJJ with Giva for almost 8 years and there's a reason why, he is a great instructor and an even better human being. Mo is also a wealth of knowledge and truly cares about each one of the students. The environment at ONE Jiujitsu and Fitness is very close knit and positive. There's a mix of serious competitors, people looking to learn self-defense, working professionals, college students, and children, so no matter what your background/goals are, you are sure to find a home here. The facility is also one of the cleanest that I have seen. Some of the highest level of instruction and training for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, whether it be for sport BJJ, MMA, self-defense, or just a good workout. read more

My kids loved it here. The instructors are amazing and awesome with the kids. The facility is clean, safe and I love how the instructors get to know the kids individually. Hands down a great place to get your kids involved with jui jitsu!!! read more

Mo and the other instructors are great. My 10yo son loved his trial class and we joined the same day.

I was looking for a place to take my 5 year old son to help him with coordination, discipline, and self defense. I met with Professor Mo and we did a trial class. After the class we decided to sign up. Progress for my son was slow at first; it took him a while to understand the expectations and instruction, but the instructors continued to work patiently with him. At this point he has made monumental progress, and I love going to watch him. The team at One is absolutely first rate. They are firm, but caring. I absolutely love this gym. They have grown a lot and it's nice to see their success. read more

I started coming to One Jiu Jitsu about a month ago, not having any background in any sort of martial arts or Jiu Jistu and I couldn't be happier with my experience.
