From the reviews
I carefully chose a place to study Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and when I came here, I immediately realized this was exactly what I was looking for. First of all, the professionalism of the coaches — the quality of instruction is very high. They teach everything from the basics to advanced skills. Second, the atmosphere.
I started my martial arts journey 2 years ago at Renzo Gracie LA. I started because I enjoyed watching UFC and wanted to dip my toes into training. I knew absolutely nothing about jiu jitsu and no one at this gym. 2 years later I’m so much more confident in myself as not only a grappler but as a man.
Some of the best people I've met in my life train at this gym. I took a trial class two years ago and knew within minutes that I'd found a supportive community where I could learn, grow, and get stronger, and I have. My training partners/friends care about me on and off the mat. We keep each other safe.. and it's fun.
Gym is unlike any other!!! Family is definitely what resonates here. Coach Cortes and Albert are the best and they understand the teaching essentials and how to properly guide you through class. Purchased a year membership and don’t regret!!!
New to muay thai? Start at Renzo Gracie Los Angeles
Renzo Gracie Los Angeles comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Renzo Gracie Los Angeles
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
