I moved back to Mission Viejo 3 years ago after being raised here and was very happy to find Professor Marcelo and Ralph Gracie Mission Viejo. I trained Jiu Jitsu for a number of years before moving and I was looking for a Jiu Jitsu school with a warm and welcoming environment, friendly students, an outstanding kids program, and amazing Jiu Jitsu instruction. I found all of these in Ralph Gracie Mission Viejo and now my 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son train here and they love it. More importantly, my wife and I can see the positive impact Jiu Jitsu has on our kids. I would highly recommend for kids, adults, and families.
Great local jiu jitsu academy for kids and adults. All lessons taught by a legit bjj black belt, Professor Marcelo Lucena. After a 9-year hiatus from the sport, I was looking for a nearby school with a convenient schedule to resume training. I was always making excuses -- work was too busy or I was too tired -- but thankfully my son was at the age that he could join the kids program. That motivated me to recommit to jiu jitsu and to stick with it. My son is learning the meaning of hard work and grit, composure under pressure (literally), and challenging himself to follow instructions independently. All things he will need to succeed in his generation. Prof. Marcelo provides all his students with a steady push to do better each and every day. The adults program is safe and has good training partners of all belts, sizes, and ages. There's never a perfect time to start or resume training, so if you're on the fence, just step in the door an
46 year old guy here. Body is broken down from years in military. Multiple injuries and surgeries. Trained before, but was injured. Came into Ralph Gracie a few months ago. My goals are to make this part of my life, learn offense and defense, lose some pounds, and lower my BP. I have a very high respect for those who train BJJ. I am usually good at things, but this is extremely challenging. I struggle with most moves, I lack flexibility, and I gas out quick. But whatever, I enjoy it. I enjoy the sweat and feeling after class. Watching my partners train is so inspiring. Professor Bob is excellent. A highly accomplished 5th Degree Black Belt. He has taken the time to roll with me occasionally. It is incredible his skill level. He could do anything he wanted to me, regardless of my intent. Feeling that and seeing that is beyond impressive. He is compassionate and very detail oriented. He treats me with respect and ensures I don’t get hurt.
We absolutely love Mission Viejo Jiu Jitsu. Since starting the program, my son has grown in so many ways. Emotionally, he’s become more resilient and often repeats phrases like “we always try our best,” which shows how much the lessons are sticking with him. The program is also a great outlet for his energy-something he definitely has plenty of! The professor is the perfect balance of warm and stern, creating an environment where kids feel supported while still being challenged. I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback he provides. Overall, I would highly recommend Mission Viejo Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to help their child grow and be the best they can be.
Excellent Brazillian JiuJitsu academy that focuses on quality of instruction. The academy has a welcoming and friendly vibe that embraces newcomers. Experienced practitioners, middle age guys, young bucks, and women thrive here. All are welcome. I started training here five years ago when I knew nothing about BJJ and was out of shape. I lost 20 pounds and now competing at major BJJ competitions.
My two sons and I have been students at the academy for three years. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I was welcomed and treated like family since the first day I stepped into the mats. Professor Marcelo is an amazing instructor, mentor and friend. He is a professional who is extremely accomplished in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If you are looking to train anywhere from recreational to high level competition, I would highly recommend checking out this academy.
