Rated 5.0/5 across 42 Google reviews.
Costa Mesa Jiu Jitsu may be a newer academy, but it already stands out because of its incredible coaching staff. The coaches truly care about their students beyond just what happens on the mats. They consistently check in with the adults, attend competitions to support their athletes, and push everyone to reach their full potential. The kids’ program is just as impressive. The coaches focus on building a strong foundation, teaching discipline, confidence, and skills that translate both on and off the mats. Whenever I’m able to train here, the environment is competitive yet very safe. Everyone rolls with control and respect, so I never have to worry about someone going too hard or risking injury. It’s a great place to train, grow, and be part of a supportive jiu jitsu community.
Highly recommend Costa Mesa Jiu Jitsu. I started the adult beginners jiu jitsu/self defense class six weeks ago with no martial arts experience and apprehension about whether I’d be able to keep up. Happy to say that I’ve learned so much already and I enjoy every class. Coach Tony is patient and kind, and his teaching style ensures everyone is able to learn the moves successfully and safely. My classmates are fantastic, the coaching assistants are attentive, the gym is clean, and there’s plenty of free parking in the Triangle Square structure. Whether you’re looking to add a new activity to your fitness repertoire, looking for a fun workout at an affordable price, or looking to learn practical self defense moves, Costa Mesa Jiu Jitsu is where to be!
AWESOME experience so far with Tony and the entire Carlson Gracie coaching staff. They provide personalized coaching to ALL of their students, regardless of age group. For younger ones, Tony and the coaching staff keep them entertained and coach them on how to protect themselves. For adults like myself, they help with all levels of skill and provide hands-on coaching where you truly see improvements every week. The best part yet, is the current price....get in while you can now! This level of training/coaching excellence should cost way more! SUPER welcoming environment all around and made it easy for a beginner like me to get started and see vast improvements already. Big THANK YOU to Tony and his coaching staff!
Carlson Gracie Costa Mesa is growing and going to be an incredible place to train. Head Coach David Hudson is an incredible tactician and Jiu Jitsu game player. He relates well with both Kids and adults. My daughter and I have had the pleasure of training with Coach David for the past two years and we have both improved along the way. My daughter has been taking private lessons with David which has helped her competitive level rise to great heights and helped her to win several tournaments. I highly recommend the gym and Coach David Hudson for all of your Jiu jitsu training needs.
If you’ve been looking for a sign to start jiu jitsu, or just learn some self defense, this is it. From top to bottom, Tony, the professors and coaches, the members, the events, and the dojo are all the best of the best. As a female participating in a male dominated sport, I have felt safe and welcome from day one. The teachers are supportive and adapt to your level of experience for every class. Don’t get me wrong, Brazilian jiu jitsu is hard. But classes here make it interesting and fun along the way. Plus, they offer a 6 week beginner class that is affordable and a one week free trial; I ended up joining after! Stop in and join the family!
I can’t say enough good things about CMJJ! From the moment I stepped onto the mats, I felt welcomed and part of a supportive community. The atmosphere is both friendly and focused, making it the perfect environment for practitioners of all levels. The instructors are truly exceptional. Their expertise in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is evident, but what sets them apart is their ability to teach. They break down complex techniques into manageable steps, ensuring that everyone can grasp the concepts, regardless of their experience. Each class is well-structured, blending drills, sparring, and valuable insights that keep you engaged and eager to learn. What I appreciate most is their emphasis on respect and camaraderie. The instructors foster a culture where everyone encourages each other, creating a safe space to grow and challenge ourselves. They are always available for questions, offering personalized feedback that helps you improve your skills
