My wife and I have trained BJJ for a while, and were visiting Long Beach. We found The Jiu Jitsu League online, and recognized Professor Kevin Howell as one of the authors of Jiu Jitsu University. We ended up taking 3 drop in classes while visiting, and EVERYTHING about the school was excellent. First and foremost, it was immaculately clean. The first thing we saw, entering the school, was a mop -- and after every session when we were there the students cleaned the space. The instruction was excellent, and the professor teaches classes regularly (unlike some schools where you are not guaranteed to ever train with the founder or black belts). All of the students were very nice and welcoming, and while we were there they went out of their way to teach us and help us improve (again, not common everywhere, especially for a drop-in class). In all of the classes, we were encouraged to roll with higher belts, and got mat time with everyone, including brown and black belts. The general vibe was extremely friendly, and while it is clear that the students are all very high level, they were not unnecessarily aggro or spastic. Literally every day since leaving the area, we've both talked about how much we liked the Jiu Jitsu League, when we plan our next trip out there, and how we wish we were training there now. The Jiu Jitsu League is an exceptional school with a positive atmosphere and a culture of inclusion and support.

Let me tell you about what kind of people the owners of Jiu Jitsu League are. Only a month or two after joining, I decided to fundraise for a 5k run for non-profit event for Parkinson's disease research for my father. Of all my friends and family, Hayley and Kevin were the FIRST to donate money to my fundraiser. Totally unexpected and appreciated. I honestly thought I was just going to be a number like any typical gym membership. They and all the members have been super supportive with me inside and outside of Jiu Jitsu. Let me tell you about what kind of people I meet at the Jiu Jitsu League. I live in a neighborhood with the worst parking conditions. I took an Uber to class one night. After one of basic classes, one of the members who I JUST met during that same class offered me a ride home. I could have been a serial killer or lived in Canada, but that member offered me a ride in his car without even knowing me. Everyone at the gym is supportive and friendly. I was able to make friends very fast. There hasn't been anyone I didn't like or am afraid of. The new location has plenty of parking, larger mat space, a filtered water fountain. There is a minimalist feel to the new gym. Less is more. There is a Starbucks, Chipotle, BWW, Ralphs grocery store, Ulta, AMC, Barnes and Nobles, BOA ATM and local shops/restaurants that share the same plaza as the gym. The gym schedule is awesome. In addition to their schedule, they now offer 9AM drilling classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. There is even Open Mat on Sundays too! The gym also uses a brand new $500 Dyson vacuum cleaner to clean the mats. I bet there is no other gym in the universe that has invested in a Dyson to clean their gym. There is positive karma and good vibes glowing out of this place. You don't meet great, genuine, and kind people like this everyday. I will defiantly stay as long as I can here. I am extremely thankful to be part of this community. Thank you Kevin and Hayley!

I’ve been coming here for over a year and I can honestly say this is the most welcoming dojo I’ve ever been to! EVERYONE is humble and willing to learn from one another. The energy in this place is fantastic because the way it’s run. Professor Kevin Howell and his wife, Haley Howell (brown belt) and great. I was hooked on the first night. Now they’re family.
