I’ve been to a number of Brazilian jiujitsu academies, but this ranks as one of the best. Coach Malachy is thorough in his instruction and I’ve seen my jiujitsu progress leaps and bounds. The Muay Thai coaches are also super personable and take time to get to know you as well. If you are in the area, it is a MUST.

Awesome place, plenty of room to train, plenty of parking. I came in only looking to train in muay thai but I gave bjj a chance and after a few weeks I feel like I'm getting somewhere in my training. Malachy is a great coach willing to take the time to train you one on one.

I primarily train at their Hollywood location but have had the pleasure of visiting their newest location not too long ago and it is just gorgeous. The vibes are immaculate - this is an ego free academy and the people are friendly and respectful. On top of all that, not only is there PLENTY of parking but you get world class training. Head BJJ coach Malachy Silva is a prime example of that. He leads by example and cares about every single one of his students and always takes the time to answer any and all questions you have regarding technique until he sees you get it. Renzo Grazie East LA is a must try if you live in the Commerce area and have always wanted to give martial arts a try!

How Important Martial Arts Is for Kids?

In a world filled with screens the importance of martial arts for kids cannot be overstated.Engaging children in martial arts training at an early age can have a transformative impact on their growth and development. Here’s why it is essential for kids to practice martial arts:

Physical Benefits of Martial Arts for Kids

Martial arts training involves a variety of movements that enhance cardiovascular fitness, agility, and overall physical health. Executing martial arts techniques requires the engagement of various muscle groups, leading to increased strength and coordination in children. These physical attributes are beneficial not only in martial arts practice but also in everyday activities.Flexibility is a key component of martial arts, as practitioners need to perform kicks, strikes, and defensive maneuvers with ease. Regular practice can help kids improve their range of motion and flexibility, which can have long-term benefits for their physical health.

Mental Benefits of Martial Arts for Kids

As children master new techniques and progress through belt levels, their confidence and self-esteem receive a significant boost. Martial arts instills a sense of accomplishment and empowers kids to believe in their abilities. Martial arts training emphasizes the importance of respect , focus, discipline and patience. Kids learn to follow instructions, adhere to a structured routine, and concentrate on the task at hand, all of which are valuable life skills.

Teaches Respect and Self-control

Respect for oneself and others is a fundamental principle in martial arts. Children are taught to show respect to their instructors, training partners, and opponents, fostering a sense of humility and self-control.

Emotional Benefits of Martial Arts for Kids

Engaging in physical activity releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones that help reduce stress and anxiety. Martial arts provides a healthy outlet for kids to channel their emotions and achieve emotional balance.
