From the reviews
I have trained here many times during my period in the US. The teacher "Cartmell" is one of the best Ju-Jitsu coaches I have ever met. All his entire team is really friendly and well trained; even if the school is not an huge place, it is a cozy place where you can feel yourself at ease, and the school is very great.
I love Ace. I’m not close enough in proximity to be one of their students FT but I stop in once in a while. I belong to one of their affiliated schools. They have a great crew. Master Tim Cartmell shows you technique over strength.
This is my favorite place in SoCal to train. This is their new location in a plaza next to the Fortune Cookie restaurant. The mats are new and the head instructor Tim offers in depth explanations for people interested in learning grappling. I highly recommend checking this place out to train.
Our kids are learning great defense strategies. They have gained confidence and physical strength under the direction of caring instruction. Class atmosphere is warm and friendly with positive encouragement. ACE offers adult classes too, which our extended family rave about.
Your first BJJ class at Ace Jiu Jitsu LLC
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
