As a member/participant in this facility I can say for a fact that it is clean, well worked, and friendly! Sure we get worked pretty hard sometimes but its martial arts, were meant to be working hard. (maybe not 5 push-ups per every late person worked though) The staff are kind to newcomers and veterans alike! All the coaches are nothing but the best by the way. Gold Medal Champions that will teach you everything that they know. (or at least everything you can handle) By the way if you're not into Jujitsu then these incredible people have a kick-boxing class and MMA class on Saturdays. not to mention their private classes which I have attended and their one on one teaching really does work. El Monte Jiujitsu also hosts Christmas and Halloween party's! I would recommend El Monte Jiujitsu for going long term, wether it be self-defence, competing and getting that beautiful medal, or just good excersise, this is the place to do it.
From day one, the professor and coaching staff have been incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive. The level of coaching is top-notch, and they really take the time to help you improve no matter your experience level.

Transferred from another checkmat. My son enjoyed the training here. He liked the multiple partners he had. I joyed the techniques being shared by the protector and brown belt coaches. As a gray black belt he was also given the opportunity to train with adults where he focused more. The adults class was welcoming. Great training partners with the adults as well. In the short time we have been here I’ve seen my sons confidences grown with understanding techniques and with in him self. This is a great location. Family atmosphere and 100% support as you explore your journey of bjj.

El Monte Jiu-Jitsu not only provides world-class training, but a family friendly environment and continuous support from the staff and fellow gym mates. Classes are led by Gabriel Almeida, a world class athlete. My first class was free, and then I was hooked.
