What can I say about this place? From the moment we set foot it has been a positive experience!!! Went in so my little girl can get some classes and by the second time she told me she loved it( the first class she was a bit nervous)… Coach Jacob has been awesome throughout the whole process. His wisdom, his patience, his dedication to teaching is unmatched. Always greeting us with a smile and welcoming us in to train Yes I said US because I also joined !!! Kids are always having fun, and yes so do the adults, we share feedback with each other not to criticize but to help each other get better… if you’re looking for fundamentals and knowledge in Jiu Jitsu give this place a try and believe me you won’t regret it, only wished you started sooner!!! As of now my daughter is a gray belt and working on reaching the next level. I’m still working on my stripes as a white belt as well (of course adulting always has to come in and ruin the fun ) If you are interested don’t worry first few lessons are free and no matter what skill level you are you are welcomed in here!!!

My son has been taking classes with Coach Jacob for about a year or so and he LOVES going to Gracie jiu-jitsu! Coach makes it so fun for the kids and he is very kind and caring. He makes sure the kids know how to roll safely and uses the “Bullyproof” lessons to teach kids how to stay safe. My husband also came here for about 2 years to take classes as well and he really enjoys the lessons as well. I recommend Gracie to everyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Whittier. 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! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Whittier 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 Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Whittier 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?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
