I've personally seen him instruct the kids and teens group/class, ensuring the proper fundamentals are being shown and practiced, as well as safety within training and training partners. Making this academy a safe and family oriented/friendly training environment. At the same time, I've personally had Professor Rudy drill with and assist me in my own BJJ strategy and game, in Gi and No-Gi. I highly recommend Lokahi Jiu-Jitsu to all age groups, that want to improve their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, or even just start for the very first time! When my son comes to the age of 3, I plan on enrolling him to this academy so he can start his BJJ journey!

I was in the Temecula area visiting my parents for the week and I wanted to get some training in. I…read morelooked for academies around the area and I choose dropping by Lokahi Jiu Jitsu to check the place out. My first impression was notably how clean, organized, and welcoming the environment is. The Staff welcomed me, assisted me with signing up and allowed me to try out a class. Professor Rudy is an excellent instructor, makes things simple to understand and provides clear-cut details when teaching. The other students were also very welcoming and respectful and I truly enjoyed the chance to train with them. If you're in the local area & looking for a place to train or even start out, Lohaki Jiu-Jitsu is highly recommended. The welcoming Aloha vibes & sharp Jiu-Jitsu with intenton makes the academy a well balanced atmosphere for learning.

The instructors are top notch and break everything down so we understand. Coaches Drew and Jeff run the kids program and my daughter loves it. They've had a major impact on her personal development and discipline in such a short amount of time. They also coach the adults along with Coach Johnny and teach all levels of jiu jitsu. Coach Monica recently came out with a woman's only class (which I'm trying to get my wife to join) so there's something for everyone!

As a parent, finding the right dojo for your kids means everything, and Carlson Gracie Temecula has…read morebeen such a blessing for our family. Professor Tom knows how to bring patience and understanding to teaching young kids, while still holding them to real discipline -- and it shows. Even at just 4 and 6 years old, our boys already show him such genuine respect, and as parents, that's exactly what we hoped to find. Our boys have spent the majority of their training with Coach Dienekes, and we can't say enough about him -- his guidance and dedication have been a huge part of getting our oldest ready for his competition in two weeks. On top of that, Professor Tom still made time for a private lesson with him ahead of the comp, even with how busy he's been prepping other students for their own competitions. Above and beyond doesn't even cover it. You could feel how much care and love for the sport both coaches pour into these kids. The facility itself matches the quality of the coaching -- spacious, well laid out, and always clean and organized, with dedicated areas for the different classes and even a lounge for parents. You can tell how much pride they take in the place. We tried another gym before this one, and it just never felt like this. We are so grateful to have finally found our jiu jitsu home. Thank you for everything you do!

We enrolled our son (9) and daughter (12) at this academy a little over a year ago and it's…read morehonestly been one of the best decisions we've ever made. The entire team has been instrumental in our children's success, both on the training mat and at competitions. My wife and I were both multi-sport athletes, but neither of us ever practiced or competed in combat sports so while we weren't sure what to expect, we both understood what effective teaching/training looked like. From the first day, it was evident that the team was focused on developing comfort and confidence in the new students. They were both immediately assigned to an experienced student who made them feel relaxed and walked them through both the drills and lessons over the next few days. They quickly went from being a little scared of joining a class full of students with varied experience levels to requesting to attend class every day of the week. Of all the extracurricular activities they had tried, this was the one that ignited their passion the most. The professor, Tom Cronin, and the entire team of coaches do an excellent job of keeping the kids engaged by balancing expectations with both fun and recognition. They have a great sense of each student and how to motivate them to excel. They also steer clear of pitfalls we were warned of by friends who have children attending other academies, specifically promotions based on attendance as opposed to merit. At this gym, the children are evaluated on their skills and ability to execute the requisite moves. This encourages them to excel instead of just casually participating. Within 9 months they had developed enough confidence to compete and we were blown away at how well they performed against the competition from around the country. Most importantly, they had a coach prepare them the week before with one on one training and he was the one who attended the competition to coach both of them through all of their matches. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly for us, the academy doesn't just teach them BJJ, it reinforces core behaviors that we expect from our children - Respect, honor, and community. At the end of the day, we are all trying to raise the best humans we can and I can say with absolute confidence, that this academy is an integral part of that process for our children. I absolutely recommend Carlson Gracie, Temecula to anyone with any interest in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu.

My boys went from timid,…read moreuncoordinated, scared of everything even a ball, very soft boys to Confident, motivated and strong boys. The gym affected every area in their life. They can play dodgeball and kickball which they couldn't before. They don't get bullied anymore and still are able to keep their kind and gentle demeanor. It wasn't easy at first they hated the gym the 1st, 5 months but I told them, they had to give it a year. Now they love the gym and they are so happy have the skills set. They are still white belts and will probably never be fighters but they are no longer cowards. The atmosphere is a close group who all are very kind, and patient, yet the best of the best fighters who are tough but humble. Love the coaches Joe, Sam, Trevor, Louie all of these guys do a great job encouraging these kids. If you have a kid who is weak, scared of a ball, completely uncoordinated, take them to Dan's give it a year make them go faithfully at least 2x a week to jujitsu or wrestling and they will make your child have confidence and courage. It will improve their future. Don't worry your kid won't become a jerk they stay humble. I can't thank the Dan's gym enough on how my boys improved.

This place is like the gym Average Joe's in the movie Dodge Ball (except not the good guys, just…read morethe average part). They have some great instructors, but unfortunately the members create an atmosphere of insecurity and fear. If you show up with any experience, confidence, or heaven forbid are good looking, in shape, and not religious, then you will be hated like you're a Globo Gym member. Not only will they hate you, they will begin to spread lies and rumors about you and give you dirty glances. We witnessed them allow a member to continuously cause trouble, disobey the rules of the mat, and disrespect other members of the gym and the instructors and manager never did anything until after 9 months of not paying his dues they finally kicked him out. This guy was over 6' tall, 270 pounds, tattoos on his face... he was intimidating. He was also a very poor sport, no sportsmanship and no regard for etiquette. He threw tantrums when he didn't get submissions in jiu jitsu, he was always challenging the upper ranked belts to prove himself, he tried to start physical altercations with professional fighters at fight night, he tried to start fights with my husband threatening him through text, and they even allowed this member's young son to accost little girls in jiu jitsu, making creepy comments to them, and bullying other members of all ages, much like his father. There is a heavy Christian influence pervading the place, which seems to encourage the negative behavior. They forgive the bully over and over which punishes the victims. That member was just one example of the culture at large. Be aware of the groups of women who are there every day who act like they own the place and bully around doing what they want without consequences, acting like their membership doesn't cost the same as yours. If you want to go back to high school but pay for it, then this is your spot.
