What parents are saying:
Great place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Newport Beach. My 11-year-old son loves it. It’s been a great experience so far. The coaches are amazing. Highly recommended.
We absolutely love this studio! Our two daughters are having such a great experience in their classes, and we plan to be here for the long haul. The instructors are amazing with the kids and incredibly thorough in their teaching. Their credentials are impressive, and it really shows in the quality of instruction. We’re so grateful to have found this place!
I have a shy 4 year old who takes a while to get going with new things. The patience and support they have shown my son is amazing. Can’t say enough good things about all of the staff, and how engaging it is for kids, while still being informative. Thank you so much.
Neiman Gracie Jiu Jitsu is awesome. Professor Neiman is a 67th degree black belt when dealing with the kids! My son is thriving at this studio, and it has been amazing seeing his growth and remembering the moves. His wife Coach Karina is awesome as well and the family oriented program is welcoming to all levels. I’ve talked with other parents that came from other studios and they are all impressed with the instruction here.
I can’t talk too much on the adult program because I’m way too old and “husky” but maybe one day. I would imagine the class is exceptional as well giving Professor Neiman’s experience and lineage.
I would highly recommend Neiman Gracie JJ…don’t take my word for it, bring your kid(s) and/or yourself down for a free trial!
