moreI've been training here for 14 months and it's everything you want for learning Jiu Jitzu
1) Safe - you won't get injured because there is extraordinary care taken to do each move safely
This is not an MMA or Sports Jiu Jitzu, so you aren't going to spar until you learn the moves safely. What's so great about that is you don't have to worry about your training partner doing something dangerous to you.
2) family friendly - it's super clean and professional. There isn't bad language or any drugs or alcohol tolerated. I bring my son to train with me and so do many other families. There are females that train here safely too, no weird vibes or anything- everyone is treated with respect. There are kids programs too, called Bully Proof.
3) well organized and structured. Each class has a purpose to teach a specific move. Each move is chosen because of its effectiveness at self defense in a street fight. You will gain confidence and you will also have a great workout. I came here because I was in a sedentary routine and I needed a hobby to help me live a more healthy life. What surprised me was how quickly I have found friendships here because every single student is fun and easy to talk to. Everyone supports each other.
4) the Professor and staff are world class. I am constantly amazed at how dedicated they are to Jiu Jitzu. For me it is a hobby. For them, it is their life. They have dedicated everything to this and it shows. If you value excellence and precision- this is your place.
Come in and give it a try. If you need a friendly person to train with, ask for me, Joe, and I would be happy to partner up with you to show you what i have learned. You belong here with us! Come check it out.
Laguna Hills California is very lucky to have professor Arman as an instructor for jiu-Jitsu! He has a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the art that amazes me. He has a school that is welcoming for beginners and even advanced students. Everybody leaves their ego at the door and is there to improve there skills. You have nothing to lose for coming out and taking some intro classes for free to see if you're yourself what all the hype is about. This is a Gracie Certified school. Trust me I've been doing jiu jitsu for 20 plus years in Chicago and visited tons of school in the world and this is a place to get better at the art of jiujitsu. Hope to run into you one day on the mats when I come to California to train on those mats.
One of the best players in the OC area. Highly recommend - I had no experience prior, but it is one of my favorite work outs now.
If you're on the fence of diving into it, just do it!
