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 always has good vibes and great technique! Very disciplined old school jiu jitsu feel but always open to modern bjj. Positive influence on the San Pedro jiu jitsu communityPosted 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.

A LETTER
From Sensei
Hey there!
I’m Sensei Pedro Soriano, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, known worldwide for its Jiu-Jitsu scene. With over 30 years of martial arts experience and more than two decades teaching both kids and adults, I’m proud to lead the Pedro Soriano Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy right here in San Pedro.
For me, there’s nothing better than seeing folks grow on the mats. It’s not just about learning moves and getting belts – it’s about building skills that last a lifetime.
Martial arts isn’t just about fighting. It’s about getting fit, being aware of your body and mind as well as becoming a better person overall. And yeah, it’s also about knowing how to efficiently defend yourself.
When kids train with us, they learn more than just moves. They learn RESPECT and DISCIPLINE, and they gain CONFIDENCE that carries over into everything they do.
And let’s not forget the FUN! Our classes are a blast, and every session is packed with excitement.
I started my own martial arts journey as a kid, just like many of the young ones here. It’s awesome to pass on what I’ve learned to the next generation.
Check out our programs to see how we can help your kids grow, both on and off the mats into a successful life.
All the best,
Pedro Soriano – Sensei

My son was excruciatingly shy and was uncomfortable if another kid touched him... learning how to have physical contact with other kids brought him out of his shell in the most amazing way and gave him a social confidence.
