Connect Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I started at Connect about a month ago and absolutely love it. I was intimidated to start bjj but am glad I chose Connect; the professor is a very patient teacher. He is easy to understand and takes his time to make sure you understand everything he is teaching. The students are welcoming and eager to help one another.
I’m glad I chose to start leaning bjj at Connect. Nothing but welcoming and encouraging people!

Great place professor is a great teacher they have classes for everyone from all age groups to all skill levels from beginner intermidiate and advanced the professor is also a black belt i know some schools arent all black belts but yes i give it 5 stars everyone who trains here is respectful really cool people very happy i made the choice to join there group

I stopped by for a drop in class because I couldn’t make it to my home academy for a couple weeks and was welcomed with open arms. Top notch instruction by black belt Professor Gustavo Carpio. Lots of live rolling in class after drills. I can see why these guys brought home so many medals from the Pan Ams. I’ve visited a lot of other academies in the area and this one is definitely at the very top of the list. A big thank you to Professor Carpio, Becker and the entire team for making me feel so welcomed as a visiting jiu jiu player.

Far more then excited to begin my journey here at Connect BJJ and honored to train under Professor Gustavo Caprio.
Definitely a place I recommend to all friends and family. This place welcomes Everybody! They have a growing class of kids already competing and they even offer a FREE women’s class every saturday! Professor Caprio as well as Mr. Becker have an amazing devotion for their students, I feel honored to be training here.

Back in 2010 I was lucky enough to have trained under Gustavo for several months, his teaching and style impacted me so much that I can comfortably say he is one of the biggest influences in my jiu jitsu. I was elated to here that he is back in LA and now running is own school.
No matter where you are in your journey, learning and training with Gustavo is a must. He is an absolute wonderful person both within the gym and outside. I can not recommend him enough!

I’ve been looking for a fun new way to workout and I just found it. I’ll admit that I was a bit apprehensive at first because I’m a girl but I’m way into it now.
First and foremost I’m beginning to feel like I can kick butt if I need to (it’s important for a woman to know at least basic self defense). The instructor is very knowledgeable and is very patient with all the students. He’s a black belt with many, many years of experience so I’m confident that I’m learning good stuff. I’m new at jui juitsu but so far I see its very challenging and way different than what I thought it would be. It’s about technique.
Ladies, the mats are clean and the guys aren’t creepy. They actually go there to workout. You will get sweaty though (very sweaty). It’s a fun and different way to lose weight. Idk about you but I’m way over Zumba. I think they also have kids classes.
I’m lucky I live close by and I can come here. There is even a supplement store right next door where I can get a protein shake after my workout.

Connect is one of a kind school. If you are interested in learning or improving technique this is the spot. My 7 year has gotten that and much more. Instructors are great and truly care about your child improvement. You feel at home and like family. My son loves it and the people there. I can’t wait to try it myself. ;)

Top notch school!
Great environment, excellent black belt professor and friendly staff.
This place has been open for a couple months and there is people that feel confident enough to do major competition due to very good/​new techniques and great development.
They offer free lessons for you to try it out and GREAT PRICES compared to other place that I’ve gone before. If your looking to lose some weight and keep up with your cardio this is the place to be!

Good vibes, Great people, and AWESOME TRAINING! #CarpioDiem
One of the best things about training here is the talent that drops in to roll. One day it can be a brown-​belt wrecking crew or a one-​man wrecking crew… Can you say «meow»?
Professor Carpio is as technical as it can get and his level of focus and detail to each position definitely shows every time he steps onto the mat. He is so cool and humble which is a rare to find with so called «black-​belts» today. It’s definitely an honor each day to train under him.
BONUS: Professor likes to train with his students!
