From the reviews
If you are going to learn something, you should find the most accomplished teacher you can find and learn from them. Professor Ricardo is a World Champion, Pan American Champion and National Champion in BJJ. I have trained with Ricardo for years and now my children train with him as well.
BJJ here at Gracie Temecula is truly a life changing experience. Great vibes all around. If you're on the fence about joining, you must do the first step and just get in here! Professor Ricardo and the other Coaches on staff are all very informative, and knowledgable.
I’m excited to post a review for this school. Professor Ricardo is hands down the best out there. The belts and metals don’t lie. Aside from his technical skill (um he’s like a award winning champ) he’s amazing w all levels of a jiujitsu practitioner. From a small child, to an experienced black belt.
An incredible atmosphere of learning, friendship, and competitive camaraderie under the watchful eye of Professor Ricardo. My experience here has been so exceptional I've also brought my boys to the school. I just can't say enough good things about the school and the students.
New to BJJ? Start at Brazilian Jiujitsu Gracie Humaita
Brazilian Jiujitsu Gracie Humaita comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Brazilian Jiujitsu Gracie Humaita
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.
