Great studio with a great professor and quality training. Schedule is very accommodating with lots of different classes available daily six days a week with very competitive pricing. Great family atmosphere, Professor GUI and his wife Bea made me and my son feel like family from the very first day that I signed my son up about a year ago. Coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable, the team was also very welcoming and friendly. Loved having my son here so much that I actually started training myself in February for the first time at 49 almost 50 years old. Thought I was too old and too broken to start jiu-jitsu at this age, but so glad that I did and so glad that I have chosen to do it here. My son and I train a minimum of four days a week up to six days a week. So proud to be part of the Simi Valley Morumbi family! Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
I can’t recommend this academy enough. As a complete beginner walking into my first class, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect, but those nerves disappeared quickly thanks to Professor Gui and the incredible team at the gym. Gui has a real gift for making Jiu Jitsu fun, approachable, and easy to understand, even if you’ve never stepped on the mats before. What really sets this place apart is the community. Everyone, from white belts to higher ranks, was extremely friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. There’s no ego here, just great vibes and people who love to train and support each other. If you're even thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu, this is the perfect place to start. You’ll learn a ton, laugh often, and feel like part of the team from day one.
The academy offers top-tier Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. Professor Gui leads the Simi Valley location with exceptional skill, positivity, and care for his students—he’s a phenomenal teacher. The Morumbi curriculum is world-class: structured, technical, and designed for consistent progress at every level. Backed by the leadership of Professor Fabio, a globally respected BJJ black belt, Morumbi Simi Valley delivers elite training with a supportive and family-friendly community. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grow on and off the mats.
Morumbi Simi Valley is an incredible place to train Jiu Jitsu for both kids and adults. Professor GUI brings expert instruction as well as a warm and supportive environment that helps students grow in more ways than one. For children specially, the classes are fun and engaging while teaching them core values like respect, commitment, communication, teamwork. Whether you are just a beginner or looking for competitive training, Professor Gui offers a class for all levels. What I love the most though is how genuine he and his wife Bea are. Great training and great people.

Professor Gui is incredible with the kids, patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what he does. He brings out the best in each student, whether they’re just starting out or preparing for competition. We are truly grateful to have had such a supportive community.
