⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an exceptional gym with high level instruction. The coaching is sharp, technical, and rooted in real fight experience. Every class has purpose, and the details being taught actually translate to competition and live training. The room is professional and disciplined. Training is tough but intelligent, with an emphasis on control, safety, and longevity. You get pushed, but you are not broken down or treated like a number. The training partners are solid and respectful, which allows you to train consistently and at a high level. If you are serious about fighting, skill development, and long term growth, this gym is the real deal.

Been training with Nick for 7 years now and I can't say enough good things about his gym (Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu Anaheim). He is personally involved with the classes and his focus is on safety and developing skills. Doesn't matter if you are new, experienced, young, old, small or big (I'm 6'6" and 300+ pounds) Nick has the ability to challenge you, teach you, and help you grow. Both my kids have trained with Nick for ,many years as well. We have had the chance to trial with the best in the world. We even got to train with Carlson Gracie Jr. himself.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu Anaheim. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu Anaheim welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu Anaheim train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu Anaheim. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
