Since 1997 we are leading the way in transforming Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into American Jiu Jitsu.
Founded by the esteemed Bob Bass, the first-ever American coral belt and the first Machado's American black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu history, our school represents a legacy of excellence in martial arts. Our dedicated instructors, including former UFC fighters and world-class wrestlers are committed to guiding students of all skill levels toward mastery in a supportive and challenging environment. Join us to elevate your ability and embrace this incredible sport. We are just a stones throw away from the ocean. In gorgeous Hermosa Beach California in the South Bay of Los Angeles County. Originally sourced from Brazilian jiu-jitsu we have morphed our form of grappling into what is truly the first American jiu-jitsu school. We utilize wrestling, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, catch wrestling, and mix martial arts techniques to really effectively and uniquely teach our members how to be at the top of their game. We offer kids classes and encourage competition as well. South Bay Jiu Jitsu constantly has guest instructors from all over the planet that come and teach our members as well.
