I enjoyed it for the past 10 years off and on. Its been a long journey in training and learning from the best. I tried other gyms but this one I enjoyed the most. If u are local or out of town, I strongly recommend this dojo. Lots of great people from all backgrounds of fighting styles and the classes are intense.
Im a blackbelt that was passing by the costa Mesa area and manage to spend some good hours training at this academy. I don't usually write reviews but this academy deserve it. Good people, good positive vibes. Everyone are very welcoming here.
Your first BJJ class at Tomacelli Academy: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts
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.
