Meraki in Los Angeles, California

“This is a great academy for learning BJJ, I've been here for about 8 months as a noob white belt. The instructors and fellow students are great, while most are hobbyists, they still train hard without being overly aggressive. Some of the professors have over 20 years of experience in BJJ, and many have background in other styles also, making them well-versed warriors.”

It has one of the largest mats in SoCal, in a gorgeous facility, complete with private training room for beginners and privates, and a barber shop! Jason is a walking BJJ encyclopedia, all the professors are top notch. Everyone is very respectful... it's the perfect gym for competitors and hobbyists.”
