Dojo by Leo Vieira / Jiu Jitsu

"We are a family with 4 boys ranging from 2-11. Dojo is hands down on the friendliest and easiest gym to work with. They met our boys (only familiar with wrestling) where they were in skill sets and made every minute on the mat a fun and enriching experience. After meeting one of the owners Alvin on our first visit we signed up immediately for 2 classes a week. The sibling discount was a huge plus. They have a super flexible scheduling method that accommodated our home school schedule at times that were appropriate for each of our staggered age groups. If you want your kids to learn self-defense, body control and discipline in a fun, friendly and safe environment, with top notch instructors with amazing individual talent then DOJO is for you."

"My girls have been coming to this Dojo for the last 6 months and they love it. The Instructors, Kebler, Victot, Mia, and Alvin are amazing with the children. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school."

"I started training here back in 2019 and I will always think of them as home. With no prior experiences in marital arts, DOJO definitely left an incredible impact from first impression until the moment I had to say good bye due to moving out of state. First and foremost, there can be many great gyms to train at but for me it will always be the people and the environment/atmosphere of the place that will determine whether or not I say. They are friendly, professional, and overall show the genuine care and concern for their members. They are and have been unbelievably welcoming and I would say the best place to start, especially if you were like me and had no prior knowledge of what I was even getting myself into. I was committed, I started off training very little (yet remained consistent) because I worked in Santa Monica and lived in Long Beach. Nevertheless, I had no intention of going to other gyms because of how amazing the people are here. Whenever I find myself back in CA, I will definitely stop by to train any chance I get. All my friends I have referred DOJO to has not been disappointed either. I highly, highly, highly recommend giving them a try!"

"I started my Jiu-Jitsu journey about 2 years ago when I had a new year’s resolution to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I’ve always stayed in shape by going to a gym and lifting weights, but I wanted something more challenging and a bit out of my comfort zone. When I started looking for a gym, I didn’t know much, but I knew I wanted to go to a place that had a positive yet challenging environment. From my experience, it’s easy to find one or the other, but not both. I tried a few places ranging from Costa Mesa to Long Beach and eventually found Dojo. At Dojo, there are no egos or anything like that; just a community of people working to improve their Jiu-Jitsu skills. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and care about your progression through Jiu-Jitsu. Your peers are also very supportive and always training hard to improve their game while helping each other out. Whether you want to start a new hobby, start a new year’s resolution, or compete at the highest, level Dojo is a place where your goals can become achievements!"

"Our daughter and son started attending class and immediately loved it. The instructors are all very knowledgeable, incredible achievements of their own, and patient with the kids. They keep them engaged with varying ages and levels. Everyone on staff are dedicated to their craft and committed to the family environment they promote. We have been very happy with the lessons they create and the relationship they establish with each individual student. Even during this quarantine time, they’ve restructured the classes to accommodate the shelter-in place with virtual Zoom classes 3x a week for 30 minute sessions. It provides our kids an opportunity to connect with others and continue their training."
