From the reviews
The best marcial arts in USA The instructors are amazing!! Master Brookman is the best!!
We have been a part of the Z family for almost 15 years. My son has loved training at the Costa Mesa dojo. His skills have continued to improve and refine and he has matured into the young man that he is today because of instructors like Master Brookman.
By far the best place to go to learn self defense. They are great with kids and have amazingly talented adults as well. The husband and wife owners are well qualified, knowledgeable, and excellent at their craft.
I’ve been going to Master Brookman’s lessons since I was 13. I’m 33 and he has been a guiding light to my life. I’m happy to be part of this studio that I feel I can call home.
Your first BJJ class at Z-Ultimate Self Defense Studios
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.
