GETTING IN SHAPE IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF GENDER OR SIZE.
Learning Martial Arts challenges both your body and mind while equipping yourself with essential Self-Defense skills.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ( BJJ ) is a unique Martial Art that teaches the students how to use leverage and technique to control opponents, whether in competition or real-life situations. Evolved from Judo, BJJ is a sport and highly effective Self-Defense system. Very Fun to learn too!!
ACHIEVE RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY LESSON!
Training in BJJ can transform your fitness, helping you get in the best shape of your life. It is an effective way to lose weight, tone muscles, and gain significant skills necessary to defend yourself. Even against larger opponents.


BJJ BUILDS MUSCLE AND MAXIMIZE PHYSICAL FITNESS
BJJ provides an intense, full-body workout that’s an awesome way to lose weight, increase your muscle tone and cardiovascular capacity. In other words… You are getting in shape!
By combining cardiovascular training with toning muscles and grappling, BJJ students push their bodies hard and learn what they are truly capable of.
BJJ TEACHES PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE SKILLS
The idea of defending yourself against a larger, stronger attacker can be intimidating, but BJJ is specifically designed to help you face these adversities and fears.
By teaching our students to take the fight to the ground – (if necessary) – , BJJ equips you with chokeholds, joint locks, pins and other collections of effective techniques to efficiently protect yourself, allowing even a smaller person to turn the tables on an attacker.
Most importantly, BJJ builds both strength and agility – essential qualities that enhance your ability to defend yourself in real-life situations.


WALK WITH YOUR HEAD UP CONFIDENTLY AND PRIDEFULLY
Few things compare to the confidence that comes from knowing your body is strong, agile, and capable of achieving anything you set your mind to.
Training in BJJ empowers students to harness their body’s strength and accomplish feats they once thought impossible.
With time, this builds Self-Confidence and Pride that extends beyond the mat, positively impacting your work, home life, and every aspect of your personal journey.
BJJ COMPETITIONS DELIVER A UNIQUE CHALLENGE
For students with a competitive spirit, BJJ is the perfect blend of sport and Self-Defense.
In addition to sparring and training in class, students have the opportunity to compete, testing their skills and advancing to new levels of achievement.
BJJ competitions provide a chance to set goals, work towards them, and experience the thrill of victory.

I got the chance to visit Pedro Soriano BJJ while I was in Long Beach for work. I had an incredible experience! Coach Pedro and everyone at the school were super welcoming and friendly! I trained 2 days of gi and 1 day of nogi with Coach Dell. We worked some back takes when the opponent is escaping mount, single leg X, X guard and some other things. I had some tough but great rolls! The training partners take care of each other. I'm looking forward to visiting again when I get the chance! I would definitely recommend this school!Posted on Google![]()

Discipline, courage, self control, respect, kindness. We were blessed to become a part of Pedro’s jujitsu family almost a year ago and seeing my son’s growth is nothing short of amazing. The Camaraderie between the students, the instructors, the parents is great to see. Pedro is hands on with every student, makes time for every parent, and the kids feed off that. Not only does he train them in the art of jujitsu, but holds them accountable for their actions, preparing them to be role models and productive members of society. Encouraging competition, mental and physical toughness, and compassion. I would highly recommend that all kids be a part of this movement.Posted on Google![]()

Started classes at Pedro Soriano studio few months ago and still enjoying every single time. I did not think I was going to love it that much. The place has a great vibe; no matter how tired you are and what mood you are in, once you walk through the door you surrounded by great people - both stuff and classmates. I would highly recommend it, even if you have never done any martial arts before. Sensei Pedro is great at accommodating all levels. T. SarinaPosted on Google![]()

Finding Pedro Soriano Jiu-jitsu has truly been a blessing for my 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter. In the time they've been coming here, they're self confidence and respect has gotten so much better. My kids love coming here. Sensai Pedro has taught them so much respect for the sport and a better understanding of what jujitsu is, "it's not fighting, it's self defense", my daughters saying when asked what it is. Sensai Pedro, his staff and other Sensais really go above and beyond to know your child, teach them and really get to know them. I wish we could've put our kids in so much sooner. Highly recommend Sensai Pedro, he's the real deal. Thank you Sensai PedroPosted on Google![]()

Pedro Soriano Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu one of the most welcoming clubs I have ever been to. Pedro is a class act and he represents his gym and the sport with nothing but the same. I was very impressed by everyone’s technique, respect and friendliness. This is a top tier gym with an amazing group of people. I would 100% recommend this gym and look forward to my next trip to San Pedro.
