Neiman Gracie Jiu Jitsu hits the trifecta of a pristine facility, elite instruction, and a welcoming community. The facility is top-tier: brand-new and immaculate, with high ceilings and great lighting that make for an incredible training environment. The level of instruction is truly rare. As an elite black belt who has competed at the highest levels of both BJJ and MMA, Neiman brings a wealth of real-world experience to the mats. He personally teaches every class and often rolls with his students. He is an incredible instructor who knows exactly how to advance everyone from total beginners to professional fighters. Beyond the techniques, the community is what makes this place special. It’s a family-run business with a welcoming, ego-free atmosphere. The class sizes are small relative to many other gyms, and they do an amazing job with the kids' program, making it a great environment for the whole family. Whether you are just starting
Neiman Gracie is the definition of what true Jiu Jitsu represents. Not only is he an elite competitor at the highest levels of MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but he carries the Gracie legacy with humility, professionalism, and class. His technique is world-class — precise, efficient, and deeply rooted in fundamentals that actually work under pressure. What stands out the most about Neiman isn’t just his skill — it’s his character. He teaches with patience, explains details that most people overlook, and makes complex concepts feel simple and applicable. You can tell he lives and breathes Jiu Jitsu every single day. Training under someone like Neiman is not just about learning submissions — it’s about understanding timing, control, discipline, and respect for the art. A true ambassador of the sport. A warrior inside the cage. A professor on the mats. Nothing but respect. 👊🔥 #NeimanGracie #GracieLegacy #JiuJitsu #RespectTheArt
I’m a blue belt who has trained at several gyms in the US and Brazil. I dropped in for a trial class last night while visiting Newport Beach. I had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The gym has a welcoming, professional feel, and the culture was immediately warm and inclusive—even for an out-of-town guest. Nieman personally taught the class and was exceptional as an instructor. His teaching style is clear, thoughtful, and accessible, with great attention to detail and an ability to meet students where they are. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people improve, not just demonstrating technique. What really stands out is the combination of world-class skill with humility and approachability. Training under someone of his caliber—who is also so grounded and welcoming—is a rare opportunity. If you’re looking for high-level jiu jitsu in a positive, supportive environment, this place is something special. I’d highly
Neiman Gracie Jiu Jitsu is awesome. Professor Neiman is a 67th degree black belt when dealing with the kids! My son is thriving at this studio, and it has been amazing seeing his growth and remembering the moves. His wife Coach Karina is awesome as well and the family oriented program is welcoming to all levels. I’ve talked with other parents that came from other studios and they are all impressed with the instruction here. I can’t talk too much on the adult program because I’m way too old and “husky” but maybe one day. I would imagine the class is exceptional as well giving Professor Neiman’s experience and lineage. I would highly recommend Neiman Gracie JJ…don’t take my word for it, bring your kid(s) and/or yourself down for a free trial!
Took a class at Neiman Gracie Academy in Newport Beach and it was next level. The space is incredible — super clean, bright, and you can tell they’ve put a lot of thought into every detail. Rolling there felt different: comfortable, roomy, and just the right atmosphere to push yourself. Neiman is legit. His instruction is clear, precise, and he really cares. He breaks down technique in a way that's helpful whether you're just starting out or have been training for a while. No fluff, just really solid teaching. If you're in SoCal and looking for a place to train that’s both high‑quality and welcoming, this is it. I left feeling inspired, motivated, and excited to get back on the mats.
Just started taking classes - and enjoying it thoroughly! Neiman is a fantastic instructor - he makes sure all students, at all levels, understand the fundamental concepts and time to practice the techniques. Would highly recommend dropping by and checking out what is going on, and seeing if his teaching style works for you. Right now the classes are split with roughly in half with advanced and beginner students - and advanced material is demonstrated and taught for people with experience. Give it a shot! It's also the closest brazilian jiu jitsu gym to UCI!
