From the reviews
CGW is a great place to train and gain some skills, from combat to personal development. Coach Manny is a phenomenal teacher and a wizard in both gi and nogi BJJ!

Located near Jacko's Steakhouse in Nipomo, it's easy to find, with ample free parking directly in front and rear of the building. The gym fosters a supportive and encouraging atmosphere, making learning enjoyable.
The most balanced Jiu-Jitsu academy. Instructors are true to the old school, yet open-minded enough to evolve with the game. Great training, and a great group of people to be connected with. Highly recommend Westmore as a place to start / continue your Jiu-Jitsu journey. OSS
I've had an amazing experience at Westmore! The coaches and teammates make you feel welcome from day one. The classes cater to all skill levels, and the environment is both challenging and supportive, making it enjoyable to train. The instruction is clear and detailed, and the class format makes training fun.
New to BJJ? Start at Westmore Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Westmore Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Westmore Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
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.
