    So glad a friend recommended this place for our now 4 year old then 3 year old to start jujitsu classes. The amount of care and patience the coaches have is incomparable. The coaches spark a really interest and desire in kids that trickles into everyday routines of practice. We have tried other gyms but nothing will compare to The Lair! Thanks coach Mike and Sam!

    If you're looking for a jiu jitsu gym in and around Glendora, this is it. Coach Mike is an awesome coach not only for adults, but for our 6 and 5 year old kiddos. You can really feel the passion and heart he has for the sport. Coach Mike pushes the kids when they feel like they no longer can go and makes them believe in themselves as much as he believes in them. Jiu jitsu is more than just a sport, it teaches a lot of life lessons, and he definitely teaches that to the kids. My kids work harder at The Lair than they did at the gym they were at prior not just because they have to but they want to. When coach Mike teaches, it's structured. You're not just learning a new move every class. You're reviewing the same moves for at least a week until the motions just come second nature to you. He is an awesome teacher, that really focuses on the little details. Not only does he teach the moves, but he explains why it matters to put your arm or leg in that specific area. He also teaches the defense of the move. When it's time to roll, you're not just doing 5 minute rounds but also positional sparring which I think are significantly harder, but so much more effective in working your game. It's all tough, but so worth it! Everyone that comes in are respectful, mature, and are not looking to break your limbs off. They are all there to have a good time, learn, and grow. As a woman, it is difficult to feel comfortable in a high contact sport with a bunch of men, but the culture that coach Mike and The Lair has makes it to where I don't need to feel afraid. Plus, there's women in this gym! The gym itself is rad! If you're looking for a traditional gym that plays mediocre music, you won't find that here. I feel like I'm reliving my high school emo days when I step into The Lair and I'm not complaining! I 100% recommend The Lair for kids, men AND women. You won't regret it!

TT is incredibly patient, attentive, and truly understands how to work with kids--especially those who are super energetic and need a little extra guidance. My daughter can be very hyperactive, but they never make her feel "too much." Instead, they meet her where she's at and help her grow in such a positive way. Since starting, my daughter has improved so much--not just in her skills, but in her focus, confidence, and ability to follow directions. You can tell the instructors genuinely care about each child and are passionate about what they do. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and structured without being overwhelming. It's the perfect balance for kids to learn discipline while still having fun. I'm so grateful we found this place. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a program that truly makes a difference!

Shout out to Proff. TT and Josh!!! You can tell they take pride in what they've built. From day one, Proff. TT was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve--whether you're brand new or have years of experience. She has amazing coaches (Jota, Andy and Hero) who are amazing with children. Proff TT takes the time to break techniques down in a way kids understand, while also teaching discipline, confidence, accountability and respect. My children have grown so much -- not just in skill, but in focus and self-confidence. It's been incredible to watch. The environment is positive, structured, and very family-friendly. The kids are supported, never intimidated, and the staff makes sure training stays safe and fun. The gym is always clean and organized, which gives me peace of mind as a parent. Highly recommend to anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! If you're looking for a place where you can build confidence, learn real self-defense, and be part of an uplifting community, Logic in Glendora is truly special. We're so grateful we found it!

So far the experience has been great. Coaches- the main coach is coach Alex. Sometimes he's unavailable but the substitutes are always fantastic. Everyone has a Friendly but focused attitude. They're also very empathetic and patient towards kids which I really appreciate-- cause sometimes I don't have the patience. Scheduling- Is a bit weird. When we started we didn't know how it worked. There's an online flyer that we had that showed the schedule. I think it's given out once you sign up or inquire about signing up. The busy times are during the weekdays. Saturday when we attend at 10 fits our schedule perfectly. The downside is that attendance is on the lower side. We're fortunate if the turnout is 3-4 kids including ours. I remember the first few sessions we came it was only him. And me and my wife had to participate with our son-- that was exhausting . Regardless, I still feel like I get value out of the lessons. Exercises- they do warm ups for about 10-20 minutes. Lunges, jumping jacks, push ups, bear crawls, break falls, jogging laps, it's all done within an enclosed warehouse gym. There's a nice soft mat where they practice and chairs for the parents to sit. Followed by warm ups there are the technical drills are advanced . This is where I think my son is lost. But the coaches do a good job breaking down each step and explaining why. The last portion of the 1 hour lesson is sparring. It's a very supervised and intense part of the lesson-- like the coaches can see a fall coming and they'll break their fall. They're supposed to practice what they learned to spar but my son treats it like playtime. Outcome- I feel that his exposure to Brazilian jiu jitsu has had incredible benefits to him. His stamina has increased, he's more confident trying new things, he's getting exposure to different kids and learning how to respect them, and he's also building new friendships along the way. Most importantly, he enjoys coming. Go logic Brazilian jiu jitsu! Keep up the great work.
