“I cannot recommend Rhalan Gracie's studio enough! I have two children enrolled, and the experience has been transformative for both of them. • Tailored Instruction: My youngest is picking up techniques incredibly fast because the teaching style is perfectly geared toward her age and energy. • Inclusive & Supportive: My oldest, who is on the autism spectrum (ASD), is absolutely crushing it. Finding a coach who understands how to communicate and motivate kids with different sensory and learning needs is rare, and Rhalan excels at it. • The "Whine" Test: Perhaps the biggest win of all —my kids actually look forward to class. There is zero whining about going to training, which speaks volumes about the environment Rhalan has created. If you are looking for a martial arts home where your kids will be seen, challenged, and genuinely supported, this is it!”

I recently had the opportunity to train at Rhalan Gracie's academy while visiting Los Angeles, and it was an outstanding experience. Rhalan is an exceptional instructor who creates a welcoming and professional environment for everyone, regardless of experience level or background. The instruction was clear, detailed, and approachable, and the atmosphere on the mats was both challenging and supportive. You can tell there is a strong culture of respect, learning, and high-level Jiu Jitsu throughout the academy. I highly recommend training here whether you're a complete beginner, a seasoned practitioner, or just visiting the area. Thank you, Rhalan, for the great experience-I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in LA.

l've had a fantastic time training at the Rhalan Gracie Academy of Jiu Jitsu. I used to train with Rhalan in San Francisco, and I've been making trips to LA to train with him as much as I can! Rhalan is an amazing coach, super patient, kind, caring, and respectful. I've had private lessons and group lessons with Rhalan and he is without a doubt the best there is. I take any opportunity ! can to make the trip to LA and book a class with him! I started training bjj two years ago, and thanks to Rhalan I haven't looked back since. He has been a massive inspiration in my journey. If you're new and considering to try jiu jitsu, you won't regret giving Rhalan a go! Thanks Rhalan! | look forward to coming back!

The best team, and one of the most Jiu Jitsu educated and experienced black belts in the world. Rhalan Gracie is the gold standard to which I have measured all other instructors in my 6 ish years on the mats. His level of detail is at mastery level. If you are looking for a BJJ home, without a doubt I can give my HIGHEST recommendation to stop by and say hello to this academy.

What makes Rhalan Gracie such an effective coach is the quality of his instruction. Jiu-jitsu is something you have to feel and drill repeatedly in order to truly learn, and with his coaching style, l've learned far more from him than at other gyms I've trained at. One of the best parts is that you can train with him for both sport jiu-jitsu and real-world self-defense.
