Beginner-Friendly classes for Kids and Adults Led by Neiman Gracie.
KIDS PROGRAM
Want to help your child build confidence, discipline, and real-life skills, all while having fun?
Our Kids Jiu-Jitsu program offers a life-changing experience for children of all ages. Classes are thoughtfully structured by age and skill level, so every child gets the attention, guidance, and encouragement they need to grow both on and off the mats.
We offer Gi and No-Gi classes and two age-based groups:
• Little Kids (ages 4–7)
• Big Kids (ages 8-13)
Through movement, teamwork, and positive coaching, kids develop confidence, focus, respect, and resilience, all in a safe and supportive environment.
ADULTS PROGRAM
Our classes are designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners, offering a safe, supportive environment to develop your skills.
You’ll learn how to control opponents, escape difficult positions, and apply submissions-all while building endurance, flexibility, and confidence.
FUNDAMENTALS PROGRAM
If you’ve always wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu but felt nervous about getting started or worried about getting hurt, our Fundamentals class is the perfect place for you to begin.
This class is designed to help you feel comfortable on the mats while learning the essential building blocks of Jiu-Jitsu. We focus on proper movement, basic techniques, and core concepts so you can develop a strong foundation at a safe, steady pace.
You’ll build confidence as you train, improve coordination and fitness, and start to understand the art in a clear, beginner-friendly environment. No experience is needed, just a willingness to learn.
Our goal is to support you from day one while you build real skills and get comfortable training.

Reviews
Just started taking classes – and enjoying it thoroughly! Neiman is a fantastic instructor – he makes sure all students, at all levels, understand the fundamental concepts and time to practice the techniques. Would highly recommend dropping by and checking out what is going on, and seeing if his teaching style works for you.
Right now the classes are split with roughly in half with advanced and beginner students – and advanced material is demonstrated and taught for people with experience.
Give it a shot! It’s also the closest brazilian jiu jitsu gym to UCI!
Great place and Great people, With an awesome ambience.
Full of World class knowledge and family feel, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Neiman is one of the kindest people I know and it shows when he teaches. He’s passionate but more importantly he’s patient. Beginner or competitor it doesn’t matter he’s going to help you develop your skills.
Great atmosphere and world-class training. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also patient and supportive. This academy truly feels like a family and motivates you to grow every class
