Many come to Los Angeles to visit landmark sites such as the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Venice Pier or even the luxurious shopts in Beverly Hills. However, if you are a Jiu-Jitsu fanatic, then you probably know Los Angeles is home to many amazing BJJ schools with world renowned Jiu-jitsu instructors.
Below is the list of BJJ Gyms you want to make sure and visit during your stay in the Los Angeles area. One thing to note, is that Los Angeles is big. Driving from one end to the other, could take you 2 hours plus, especially given the crazy traffic. So make sure you grab your acai bowl in between trips and enjoy the scenery.
10th Planet Headquarters
1314 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90015
If you love no-gi then you have to visit the 10th Planet Headquarters taught by the legendary Eddie Bravo. Unlike many other academies with famed instructors, Eddie teaches most of the classes himself. What makes visiting even more special, is that there is no other Jiu-jitsu story teller like Eddie. Get ready to spend a big chunk of the class listening to stories, followed by some high level instruction.
One thing to note is its location. Downtown Los Angeles can be a bit shady, so make sure you lock your doors and be ready to practice your Jiu-jitsu in real life in case something happens on your walk to the gym.
