Here is what our students say about us

Andrew Strassner

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“There are black belts in this world, and there are black belts who not only have a masterful understanding of Jiu-Jitsu but have a real calling and love for teaching jiu-jitsu, and Ricardo is the ladder. The icing on the cake is the direct lineage to Rickson and Kron.”
Randi Wishnow

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Both Ricardo and his son Henrique are the most incredible teachers to my 6-year-old son Asher! They are teaching him discipline (in a patient and living way)as well as teaching him how to protect himself! I would recommend LA Jiu Jitsu academy to anyone who is looking to get there kids started in the best self defense!!!”
Farhan Islam

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“LA Jiu-Jitsu Academy, under the expert guidance of head instructor Ricardo Rosa, is an unparalleled sanctuary for those seeking to master the art of Jiu-Jitsu.”
Peter Adam

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rickson Gracie black belt and head instructor, Ricardo Rosa is an amazing instructor! Enrique and Ruben are also extremely knowledgeable, patient, and caring instructors. They take their time and breakdown techniques clearly and proficiently. Great mix of self defense and sport BJJ with plenty of time to practice/roll.
Thomas Martin

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I've been training here for a little over a month and feel right at home. Ricardo, Reuben, and Enrique are all extremely helpful and welcoming coaches. The instructor lineage routes up through Kron/Rickson Gracie, so the form of Jiu Jitsu taught here covers many aspects of self defense that would apply to MMA or a street fight scenario.”
Justin Dumagpi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Dropped in for a class while I was on vacation. Super cool place to train. The professor and everyone were very welcoming and friendly. Great rolls.”
