From the reviews

Love this place, trained here while I was in the Seabees. Can't go wrong with West Coast, Brian is an excellent instructor

★★★★★ — Jesse, Feb 2018

Travis Calanoc cornered me for my first mma fight when I transitioned from pure kickboxing and bjj to mma. Even though this was well over a decade ago I still can count on him to bounce ideas off of. Since training with Travis I have gone on to coach fighters in the UFC, Belator, Glory kickboxing, and Legacy.

★★★★★ — Justin, Jun 2022

Thanks for having open mat on Saturday'sand Sunday's at 9am and Monday's at 6pm. It was how I was able to lose 40lbs and meet a great group of guys that have turned into family. This place has great value for your money. Your guaranteed to lose weight and learn to defend yourself and have blast doing it.

★★★★★ — Steve, Sep 2016

Been to a lot of different gyms. But West Coast Jiu Jitsu treats you like family! Coach Brian is one of the best coaches no matter what skill level you are. Fred is hands down of the the best striking coaches from kids to adults. West Coast has everything you need there.

New to BJJ? Start at West Coast Jiu Jitsu & Muay

West Coast Jiu Jitsu & Muay 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 West Coast Jiu Jitsu & Muay

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
