Hello!
I’m Walter, head instructor of both the gi and no gi jiu jitsu programs at Renzo East LA. Thank you for checking us out. You may have a very good idea or no idea at all what drew you to Jiu Jitsu, either way, here you are… I think the mystery and complexity of jiu jitsu is part of what makes it so intriguing to such a wide array of people. It can suit athletes to mathematical thinkers to artists to stay at home parents. I have often found that what initially brings a student in to train is only the first ripple of many in a splash of positive (if challenging) changes and realizations of their physical, mental, and spiritual self.
Our school follows a long line of high level instruction from feet to floor position; meaning understanding the basics and complexities of grappling from a standing situation to a grounded situation. We teach in a technical and clear format so our students learn and retain movement quickly and in a safe and controlled manner. All classes involve a brief warm up, technique drilling, positional or situational sparring, and live training: all of which new students are welcome to participate in as their comfort and stamina allows. We always strive to train to the peak of our abilities while maintaining discipline and awareness of ourselves and our training partners.
If you are of the competitive mindset I have spent countless hours on the competition mats in various organizations, as well as coaching many students to their own victories.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or just contact us below to set up a free trial class.
