The Grappling Lab

Small class but legit Black Belt. Classes will feel like a private class sometimes. LEGIT JIU JITSU BLACK BELT. Jiu Jitsu class starts at 7 sharp

Best coach I've come across!! Coach Edwin has a comprehensive approach to teaching jiu jitsu. I've been to a couple other establishments and its not even close. If you are a beginner or expert, coach Edwin will not disappoint. His prices are extremely low for the knowledge and experience that he shares. Ive only been training with him for a month now and can't wait to see where I'm at in a year.

Don't waste your time with other facilities and sign up now.

Edwin really runs a great a good training spot here. Some other gyms in the area have more students or more well known name, but I think the overall training and attention you get by having a smaller school is a great value. Edwin is really accommodating if you have any questions and is a legit black belt. He does a good job of focusing on actually developing knowledge of the movements needed for jiu jitsu without over explaining. It's especially easier training here if you're new at bjj because it's not as much dog eat dog mentality like some other places. I highly recommend training here.

I've been practicing BJJ for a couple of years on and off, so I've tried other BJJ gyms in and around Long Beach. Edwin is by far the best teacher I've come across! I've learned much more in the short time at the grappling lab than at any other gym. As a smaller woman it's easy for me to feel intimidated, but never felt that training here. So, if you've ever wanted to try bjj but felt intimidated, dont be! Stop by the grappling lab and give it a try! It's still a small school but I look forward to seeing it grow.

This school just opened up and I think it's a gem waiting to be discovered by the grappling community. Edwin is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and uses his advanced knowledge of sports science and body mechanics to create a very unique approach to teaching the art. The curriculum focuses a lot on the fundamentals of jiu jitsu and grappling. He doesn't just show a technique and have you practice it, but has you stay in specific positions long enough for your body to naturally adapt to the mechanics while guiding you and making corrections. I wish more BJJ schools taught like this, but hopefully this method of instruction catches on.
