About San Dimas CTC

# San Dimas CTC

At San Dimas CTC, we're proud to be part of the Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers family, which means we uphold the lineage and principles that have defined Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for generations. Our affiliation guarantees that every class you take with us is rooted in authentic Gracie technique and proven teaching methodology. We've earned this certification not just by displaying a logo on the wall, but by committing to the standards that make genuine Gracie Jiu-Jitsu accessible and effective for our community. Your instructors here train continuously to stay current with both classical foundations and modern applications, ensuring you learn from people who understand the art deeply and live it daily.

Our training philosophy centers on building not just skilled grapplers, but thoughtful martial artists who understand the "why" behind every technique. Whether you're a complete beginner stepping on the mat for the first time or an experienced grappler working toward your next belt, we believe progression should be steady, injury-conscious, and rooted in fundamentals. We offer classes for kids, teens, and adults across all skill levels—from our foundational Fundamentals program that teaches core positions and escapes, to our competition-focused advanced classes where serious competitors refine their edge. We also run specialized programs like Women's Only classes and hybrid Gi/No-Gi sessions depending on what resonates with our students' goals.

When you walk through our doors at San Dimas CTC, we see you as someone joining a team, not just paying for classes. We keep class sizes intentional so our instructors can give real feedback to each person. New students get genuine introductions to the art during our on-ramp process, and we celebrate every belt promotion like the milestone it actually is. Jiu-Jitsu is humble work, and we're here to do it together.
