Ralph Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy

This is a awesome place if you want to know and learn the art of Jiu Jitsu. This art is VERY practical when it comes down to self defense. Amazing instructors, who know their stuff and know how to teach it to there students. My son has been coming here for almost 3 years and me and wife have watched him grow and learn this awesome martial art. Thanks to the team at Ralph Gracie.

I love my jiu-​jitsu family! They are more than just friends to me! Jiu-​jitsu is my life!

Best jiu-​jitsu around. I trained at another gym before coming to Ralph Gracie and it doesn’t compare. Everyone here is super friendly and the instructors are awesome. Anyone interested in training should come here first.

I have been to a lot of gyms and played around with other martial art academies. Ralph Gracie Jiu Jitsu of Chino Hills stands way above the rest. My training partners, my instructors Sean and Gabriel, and the front desk boss Laura all treated me like family. Once you are their student, they genuinely care about you and will do whatever they can to help your growth in Jiu Jitsu and as a person. There are a lot of get togethers as well so you can come make some new amazing friends.
As for those curious about the training partners you will find here. There are many body types, age, gender, and skill/​belt level training on a consistent bases. So come in and give it a try. You won’t regret it.

This academy has a great community of jiu-​jitsu students and teachers. The students are always more than willing to open up to new students and parents. Training with the team is always fun and challenging. Sean, Gabriel, and Laura are wonderful people who are able to help the student, or parent, with any questions they might have about the jiu-​jitsu community.
Overall, head on into this academy and you won’t be disappointed.

Great instruction. Gabriel and Sean are great instructors who provide a great environment for those who want to compete or train recreationally. The people who train there are very welcoming. They have many black belts who also train. Lora does a great job running the business. Thanks for the great experience.

I dropped in for a 10 am class and found the atmosphere to be most welcoming. Shogun is a well-​behaved happy dog who sits by the mat and doesn’t disturb class. Clean and well-​designed studio. Sean’s teaching and techniques are very high-​yield and applicable… he’s very open to sharing and discussing. Quite a bit that I picked up from a single one-​hour session… plus lots of fun! Thank you very much. –Albert

The best BJJ academy in SoCal. Everyone is friendly and there are always several blackbelts on the mat to roll with.

Best place around. Everyone is super friendly and the instructor are world class. They have programs for adults kids and women. I love this place.

Top notch jujitsu. I’ve been to Sean’s classes and they are phenomenal. He teaches fast paced enough to keep your mind flowing but gives you enough time to drill it well. So whether you learn by having lots of techniques thrown at you or you like to take your time to work on just a couple moves, you will be able to train to fit. He will also roll with students and is great about breaking down his technique and answering any questions that you have.
The owner is super cool. Supposedly he’s an amazing face surgeon who also sits ringside as the state physician for MMA fights. His wife Laura is such a nice lady. Everyone who is here is passionate. Thank you Ralph Gracie for having me. I hope to come back soon. Highly recommend.

Amazing Jiujitsu school! My boys have been going for 4 ½ yrs now & love it! All of the instructors are great with the kids & keep things interesting for them. If you are looking for a local BJJ school, look no further!

Best jiu jitsu school ever. Great instructors, good environment and Great for competition

My son had been asking to join Jiu Jitsu for about a year. After doing a lot of research and talking to Laura we signed my son up. All I can say is I/​he loves it here. Shortly after my son started I enrolled my daughter as well. Gabe and Laura are great. Laura is always updating everyone as to what is going on, not just in the academy but on the bjj scene. If you want great training and a family friendly environment come in and check it out. Now with the addition of Sean Roberts this place is even better

Ralph Gracie Chino Hills is one of the best! I have trained there for two years now. The instructors are black belts that truly love the sport and it shows. in The quality of instruction is top notch and the atmosphere in the gym is one of the friendliest I’ve trained at. Thanks RGCH.

This is the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) school around. I work in the area quite frequently and this is my favorite place to train. Gabriel Costa one of the the black belts there is from Brazil and has a great BJJ game. He is also a very very good teacher.
Greg Rivera is a black belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu. He was promoted by Ralph Gracie himself and is from Ralph’s original school in NorCal. I was lucky enough to also train with him in NorCal.
Also Sean Roberts who is a phenom in the BJJ competition scene is from this school. He is the owners son. This shows the level of passion they have about the martial arts.
I dont have any kids but judging by the number of kids they have their and the Happy Mom’s & Dads I see there the program is very successful.
If you are in the Chino Hills, Corona, Pomona or surrounding area this is my favorite marital arts school.

Love this place. My kids and husband train here. The instructors are awesome! They keep the kids in line without demeaning them. The training has helped empower my shy daughter! Laura makes you feel do welcome. It’s a great family oriented studio!!!

Unlike some of the striking martial arts which often send you off to punch pads, Jiu-​Jitsu is safe enough to do lots and lots of sparring. While the submissions are quite effective, the loser can tap out and start over again time after time. A typical hour and a half class here has at least a half hour of sparring and on occasion it is just about the entire class. With that much time on the mat you quickly learn to apply all sorts of joint locks and chokes which are remarkably effective.
Because nothing is better motivation to not hold back than someone trying to remove your arm, this is a really good way to go to get in shape. I have seen several people lose 30lbs or more and go from looking fat to being in remarkable shape. It won’t be easy, but if you are willing to put in the effort it is unquestionably effective. Even at the once or twice a week I make, I am in a whole lot better shape than when my only exercise was walking across the office to get coffee.
For tournament gi Jiu-​Jitsu I would recommend this school to anyone from the person with no martial arts experience who is just looking to get in shape all the way up to someone with years of experience who wants to win big tournaments. Most days they have two adult classes a day of gi Jiu-​Jitsu so you can get in quite a lot of training. They also have fairly good training for no gi but it isn’t emphasized as much.
During the off-​season they have wrestling classes but it is usually just one or two nights a week.
For the past few months they have a judo black belt who teaches some classes, but as of yet that has not been a big focus for the school.
They also have Muay Thai classes but I have not yet attended any of them so I cannot comment on them beyond saying that they exist.

I attended 2 schools prior to coming to Ralph Gracie and I must say that this is the best school for both beginners and those looking to reach new levels.
Friendly teachers and friendly students makes for a productive and comfortable place to learn jiu jitsu for all belt levels. No egos! Lots of humble nice people trying to make each other better.
There are ton of students of various sizes and levels to pair up with during training.
I started attending Ralph gracie about 4 months ago right when I started medical school and I must say that this place is my main outlet for stress relief and for keeping in shape.
They have the best schedule I have seen thus far because of 3 in house black belts that teach. As busy as I am their schedule is extremely convenient! Plus they have impromptu open mat sessions set up on their facebook group outside of the planned schedule, which is something I have not seen at other gyms.
Lastly, I think its the atmosphere is the biggest reason the place deserves 5 stars. The instructors exhibit so much passion and sincerity for this craft that it inspires me to not only want to train harder at jiu jitsu, but to work harder in all other aspects in my life. This in combination with the approachability and camaraderie felt at this school is something very unique and priceless.

Excellent facilities, amazing instructors, and a selection of classes that is second to none. Their world renowned system of martial arts will improve the character, fitness, and discipline of your children, while giving them an opportunity to train with the best the sport has to offer. Whether your goal is self defense, improved fitness, or to become the next world champion, Ralph Gracie Jiu-​jitsu has got you covered.

BEST JIU-​JITSU ACADEMY & my kids love it!
I have 2 boys who have been going to Ralph Gracie Jiu-​Jitsu (Chino Hills) for about a year now. During this year, my kids have learned discipline, respect, how to defend themselves and much more. Coming from a family of fighters myself, I did my homework on many academies around the area (Inland Empire) before committing to this studio. This has been the BEST decision I have ever made. This studio is like our second home. I am not a local, so I do drive a ways to get there, but well worth it. The prices are very reasonable and they offer classes just about every day of the week and Muay Thai on Saturday.
And the best part of all, this studio has the most amazing professional Black Belt Instructors. Gabriel Costa and Greg Rivera are phenomenal. These guys are the best around and my kids love them. They work very well with the kids at their level and make it fun and easy for them to LEARN and RETAIN the techniques they have been taught. My kids compete in tournaments now and are doing awesome. I am so proud to be part of the Ralph Gracie Jiu-​Jitsu (Chino Hills) academy.
Gabriel you rock! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
