Tillis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I feel at home here, its so much fun, noah is super cool. Never felt pressured to sign any contracts etc. Just come and play as long as you want. Noah has kick boxing, wrestling and the best jiu jitsu around. He’s a badass black belt and has been doing this game since he was in grade school. One of the youngest black belts to get promoted in the US. He is Carlson Gracie lineage. A black belt who competes and has won many tournaments. Come and be part of the family we will treat you well, and not break your arm.

Tillis BJJ is a great place to learn jiu jitsu. Noah is a very good instructer and has many classes you can go to every day of the week besides Sunday. I’ve been to four different places now (not for jui jitsu) but for other martial arts and this place deff is the most welcoming one I’ve been too. I’m currently at another gym and once my contract is up I’ll be coming here only, cause it’s such a good place to go. Everyone there is great and super help full if your begginer and you don’t know your stuff. I highly recommend this place if you live in the Whittier surrounding areas. Also the best price I have ever seen for unlimited access. I love this place and I can’t ask for more.

If you’ve been meaning to try out bjj — stop waiting! Tillis BJJ is the perfect place for persons of all skill levels and ages. Coach Noah has years of experience training, competing, and coaching. The vibe here is that of a family, everyone helping each other to reach their potentials. Excellent gym schedule with multiple classes offered every day Monday through Friday and open mat on the weekends.

I started going to Tillis BJJ in June of 2015 after being a member of another MMA/​Jiu Jitsu establishment for the past 5 years. They welcomed me with open arms and have learned a great deal from Professor Noah. He treats anyone that walks in the door with the utmost respect and upholds the respect that Jiu Jitsu has given him and that he gives the art form. I call my time on the mats at Tillis BJJ group therapy. The members at this academy is comprised of humble individuals that challenge each other every day. He encourages sparring with different people every day to work on your technique, get used to sparring with different people to sharpen your technique, and consistent drilling to maintain your technique. Each class leaves me wanting more because I want to be challenged and the atmosphere provides a place of camaraderie, laughs, a great work out, and most of all a place where you left better than when you walked in 90 minutes ago. I highly encourage anyone to take advantage of his 7 day free pass. It will take you 1 day to realize that you want to be a part of this team.

Just passed one year mark with Tillis BJJ. Noah is a super awesome coach. Very knowledgeable in BJJ, MMA, wrestling, kick boxing and just a great mentor. This place is not just a place to train. It’s family.

this is the gym where it all started for me! Noah is an awesome coach and professor who dedicates all his time to his students. This gym will always be home to me!

A great place to train and I am glad that they have a kids program now. It is awesome that the instructor is awesome. Next they have an all women class that would be the greatest or even women self defense. A great friendly environment. The price is great too.

Noah is a great instructor and very good jiu-​jitsu competitor. This gym would be a great place to train and learn the art from a very legit black belt.

Tillis BJJ is the place to go if you want to train! Everyone is friendly and its a great place to learn. Noah Tillis (BJJ blackbelt instructor) introduced me to jiu jitsu back in 2009 and Ive been learning from him ever since.

I’ve been training for a little over 3 years and Tillis is a great place to train. There’s a good vibe here and it’s very welcoming. You can’t go wrong by training here.

This place is the BEST. Noah is an excellent instructor. EVERYONE there helps everyone. No egos. Great vibe and family friendly.

I started training here about 3 months ago. It is definitely a life changer. Fitness was my first motivation, but I have to admit, after a few rolls, my inner Tyler Durden was breaking out of his shell. I had butterflies in my stomach on my first few sessions, but Professor Noah and Professor Crail take all walks of life at the academy and they teach with patience and they have a lot of faith in their students. There are no egos here. What there is plenty of at the academy is talent. The higher ranked guys and girls have been welcoming and they also serve as teachers to white-​belts like me. It’s been an honor training here and my goal is to compete next spring 2015 at the Copa Pacifica. I was at the Copa this past spring as a spectator and it was great seeing Tillis BJJ well-​represented. If you sign up here, you won’t regret it. If you have kids, his classes are great. They keep the lessons and rolls playful, never intimidating. The academy’s open mats are great. Practitioners from different academies show up and it’s a great work out. I highly recommend this place.

Before I begin the review, let me comment on Rj Q.‘s one star review of Tillis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu:
In searching for a new gym, Rj discovered TBJJ. Upon entering the «Hole in the wall,» was greeted by the instructor and an awful smell of «sweat and poop.» As it ‘filled his nostrils’ he «had to leave the place» because the «smell was just too much.» Then makes a kind suggestion «Clean up ppl please.»
You know what smells awful Mr. Q? Your post. I had more to say but that just about sums it up. Though let me say this: the facility is very clean. They sweep and sanitize the mats down after each class. The gym has a fresh airy scent to it, no ‘poop’ as Rj so eloquently described. You might get a hint of sweat after a class is finished, which is completely normal. Like I said, the only shit I smell is is from your post Rj Q.
Anyways, Tillis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, upon my search for a BJJ gym, is by far the best gym I’ve experienced. I will NOT name the other BJJ gyms I have been to, but I will say:
What separates TBJJ from any other BJJ gym is the intimacy you feel with everyone around you. Whether it be my fellow students or the general atmosphere of the place, I have never experienced such a close-​knit BJJ community. The goodness that radiates from this gym overflows and benefits the community around it. You will notice this as you visit the liquor shop next door to purchase a beverage, the cashier ask you with a smile «So you’re training next door eh?»
This happens to be one of the closest gyms to my home, which I am grateful for. But in any case I would drive farther just to support a quality instructor who is knee-​deep in the BJJ community and trains himself to become better at the art he loves.
Parking is excellent

Great training. Great coaching. BJJ. Fundamentals. Kick boxing. MMA. Family friendly.

Always great vibes and rolls. No ego, no aggressive crazy strong arm business tactics. Noah Tillis is an awesome teacher and a fair business man (which don’t always come together in the same package, let me tell you). This place is my happy place.

Was nervous to try bjj then I came here and never wanted to leave whether you just wanna try it out or your seasoned and wanna hone your skills I recommend coming here

So let’s see where to begin. i went in to check this place out to find a new gym to train bjj and this place is a hole in the wall. Upon entering i was greeted by an instructor and an awful smell of sweat and poop filled my nostrils i had to leave the place the smell was just too much clean up ppl please

Amazing gym with top notch instruction. Noah teaches with passion and has been a competitor for years. Highly recommended. There isnt a better place to train or get instruction in Whittier

Tillis BJJ… Great place to train. from beginners to guys with more experience, there is room for all levels. great guys and an awesome instructor, BJJ black belt, Noah Tillis.
open mats on saturdays rule! begins at 11am every saturday.

I visited Tillis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu couple of days ago and I was very pleased with the visit.
Plenty of parking space, easy to find, next to a mini-​mart so I bought myself some fluids before my rolling session to stay hydrated.
As I walked in «Plenty of Mat Space». You don’t have to worry if someone rolls into you as there is plenty of space.
His mats are super nice, excellent quality. I’ve attended other BJJ schools. These were among the best mats I stepped on in a long time.
I don’t know Mr Tillis personally but I’ve heard nothing but great things about him. I visited OTM shop couple month ago to buy some gear and a couple of guys where talking about his skills and World Championships tourneys he has taken. WOW
As I was leaving Mr. Tillis greeted me and said I was welcome anytime. I felt no pressure what so ever. Felt very welcome :)
I also had the opportunity to meet Johnny Ramirez & John Ouano from New Bread while at Tillis BJJ School «Great People». They are from Rodrigo Medeiros BJJ Revolution under Carlson Gracie. This would be same lineage Mr. Tillis would fall under.
In all, if your near La Mirada or surrounding area definitely check this school out. I hope this helps out in your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey.
Best of Luck
