West Coast HeadQuarters
Serving the Temecula Murrieta Valley Since 2007
Brand New Facility!
As the headquarters on the West Coast for Mr. Carlson Gracie Jr and his federation, our Academy has been serving Temecula/Murrieta valley since 2007’. Over the years, our students have grown, and several other schools from San Diego to Riverside County have opened as a result of the training that has taken place here.
The building has over 5000’ ft of training area, a student lounge, large dressing rooms and two restrooms. We carry a full lineup of equipment and offer in-house alterations and sewing as well.
What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport based on ground fighting and submission holds. BJJ revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend him/herself against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ can also be used as a method of promoting physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.

- "This is the number 1 place to take your children for Jiu Jitsu. Professor Tom is amazing and I know this because my brother took his two kids here before I started taking my two children here as well. They are a week into their training and I am very pleased at what I see so far. Last, the instruction at Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the best in the area.."
