As visiting practitioners from Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan, my family and I were looking for a place to…read moretrain while in California. We were warmly welcomed into Dolby Soo Bahk Do, and we are so grateful for the experience. Sa Bom Nim Dolby is a true master, and his knowledge and passion for Soo Bahk Do are evident in every class. He is a phenomenal instructor who teaches with a perfect balance of discipline and encouragement. What truly made our experience special, though, was the incredible dojang family. They were so warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in the door. It was a wonderful feeling to be part of such a supportive and positive martial arts community, even for a short time. We can't recommend Dolby Soo Bahk Do enough. It's a top-notch school with an amazing instructor and a wonderful group of people. If you're looking for a place to train, this is it!

Training includes weapons fighting as well as ground fighting. He trains his kid classes to be physically prepared as well as mentally. My kids are exposed to vocabulary words above their grade levels. Also naming the muscles and bones as part of their training is a plus. As a class they dominated the Region 9 tournaments they enter annually. Seeing my children grow from a lamb to a lion is amazing.

They are professional, encouraging, and they are VERY knowledgeable in the world of jiu jitsu and muay thai. We've tried both their Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu program and it's DAMN LEGIT. If you have children ages 4-54, send them here. They offer free trials for self defense, muay thai, and jiu jitsu. Can I also say that they throw the best parties!??!?! Looking for a place to host your kid's birthday party? LOOK NO FURTHER. What really sets this place apart from other local BJJ gyms is the community culture. They are welcoming, clean, safe and it's full of people who genuinely care about each other. The coaches break down technique and also take the time to teach that ONE child who is struggling, while everyone else is doing their warm ups. That is TRUE dedication. My kid has grown so much in confidence and focus since joining. This isn't just any kind of gym.... it's FAMILY, and a place where you actually look forward to showing up.

I'm a slow learner, and I've never been particularly athletic, but everyone at GB Long Beach consistently taught me with patience and good humor. There is a strong team atmosphere at GB Long Beach; higher belts are uniformly friendly and approachable. The black belts are all highly skilled, and Professor Rodrigo is a seasoned competitor who is always willing to share advice. The facility itself is clean, well-lit, and smoothly organized. If you are looking for a place to learn Brazilian jiujitsu, this is the spot for you.

My son, even after all these years, continues to learn not only jiu jitsu, but sportsmanship, discipline, and respect. We are so grateful for the skills and guidance that Profesor Rodrigo and all the coaches have instilled in our son both on and off the mat. We feel confident now that our child would be able to defend himself if needed. We highly recommend to parents. You can attend Monday-Saturday (Friday competition class with approval and Saturday parent and child class) if you truly wanted to. We have been involved in several sports in the area and you really can't beat the value of this gym.

I'm so incredibly excited that I found a place where the coaches care and celebrate a victory after each session - no literally, after each class the Coach asks if anyone is celebrating a victory and when someone is done speaking the entire class cheers! This is the type of environment you want to be in if you're looking to build friendships and really push yourself to the limit. I think my favorite part is pairing up with others from the class because it forces you to socialize with others who have similar goals as you. This place has quickly become somewhere I can go to let out some steam, somewhere I can go to make friends and somewhere where the Coaches truly want you to succeed. It's not like a regular gym where you go in do your thing and you're out. This place takes the time to figure out what your goals are during orientation and has someone checking in through text to assure you're feeling supported. PLEASE GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

The classes are beginner friendly with options provided throughout if you'd like more of a challenge. I have attended both "Pilates in the Park" and the "Conchas y Cafe" events. Such a nice way to meet other women, get a good workout, and enjoy a tasty treat at the end. As an athlete and active gym goer, Pilates has added to my workout routine and has given me the opportunity to strengthen my core and tone my body. If you have ever considered Pilates, I'd definitely recommend Alma Pilates!

You will challenge yourself but trust me, it's so worth it! You also get a great sense of community from her classes and just such a good vibe. I'm already signed up for my third class and can't wait. Definitely would recommend!
