I love it here at AOJ. I’ve been here since the opening of Mission Viejo, and by far it’s the best jiu jitsu school I’ve trained at. They offer both gi and no gi (no gi has 10 classes to choose from during the week). No gi was a big deal for me, because of course most schools offer the gi only or roll no gi as if they’re rolling in the gi but without a gi on (im a no gi girl so finding a good school for no gi has made me so happy). Many no gi schools are vice versa with the gi training, so that didn’t help me when competing in the gi. Here they have a true no gi game that has expanded mine and of course a successful tried and true gi program. I love the community of people at AOJ MV as well. Leo, Yan, and Yago at the front are always so friendly. Professors Zach, Jessa, Tainan, Pato, Sayuri, and Fran and Coaches Steven and Luca are, of course, just amazingly phenomenal coaches. My 2 kids and I all train, and I’m so happy with our choice
The gym itself is stunningly maintained, with a level of cleanliness that is unmatched, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere of the gym. Led by coaches and professors who are themselves world champions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the level of instruction is incredible. Each session is meticulously planned and executed, with a focus on teaching fine BJJ techniques that are both effective and applicable. But what truly sets Art of Jiu-Jitsu apart is its dedication to character development, particularly in its younger students. The coaches and professors serve as outstanding role models for the kids, both on and off the mat. They instill values of kindness, ethics, and respect, which are carried beyond the gym walls and into daily life. It's truly heartwarming to see the positive impact they have on shaping confident, respectful young individuals. Whether you're looking to become a top athlete in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or se
Our 10 year old son, Jason, who is a level 3 yellow belt has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for about 4.5 years. He recently joined Art of Jiu Jitsu Mission Viejo about a month ago and the experience has been incredible so far. From day one, he has been smiling, motivated, and genuinely excited to learn. The level of instruction is outstanding, with high-level professors and coaches, many of whom are black belts, bringing both technical precision and professionalism to every class. Most importantly, he feels psychologically safe when training at the gym, even when the rounds are challenging, the professors remain incredibly supportive and respectful. In a short time, we’ve already seen noticeable improvements in his technique, and his focus has only sharpened even further. What really stands out is the training environment. The room is filled with dedicated, like-minded athletes who push each other every round. Jason thrives in that
The most incredible jiujitsu studio I've ever seen! Myself and both of my boys train here. Outside of an amazing staff of professors and coaches,(who all compete and win regularly) they have an entire day filled with classes for every age and every skill level from first day ever, to full professional practitioners. These classes are offered every day, multiple times a day, Monday- Saturday instead of a couple days a week like many other academies. Their kids program is unbelievable and produce high level, competition ready programs as well as just starting beginners. If you're even considering it, just come by and check out the environment and culture they created here. I can assure you will be beyond impressed!
tried the women’s class for the first time and loved it. It was my very first experience with jiu-jitsu, and Coach Luca explained everything very clearly, which made it easy to follow as a beginner. I enjoyed it so much that I stayed for a second No-Gi training session for legs with Coach Marcos. Both coaches were very attentive, correcting techniques and showing how to do everything properly. I really liked how jiu-jitsu makes your mind and body work together. Such a great experience - I’ll definitely be back.
Okay I cannot say enough good things about this place. First of all this is the nicest Jiu Jitsu facility you will ever see it’s like a space ship from the future. Second of all everyone from students to staff to coaches are all super friendly and sharp. And thirdly you will learn the best techniques unlike other places that just show you some random technique then move on to another one this place shows you the best techniques and they show you multiple layers and concepts of the technique so you can master them And fourthly this gym is for absolutely everyone not just world champions but all levels of skill within this art whether you are a beginner or intermediate or advanced this place has your back. If you want to start Jiu Jitsu and you don’t know what gym to go to definitely come here if you can afford it you will not regret it at all. Thank you!
