Phenom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I train Gracie Jiu-​jitsu (Gracie Academy self-​defense program) but since I also love to compete I was looking for a sports jiu-​jitsu academy to sharpen my competition techniques. Since meeting Prof. Larry and one of his students, Paula at a tournament, I was impressed by their friendliness and decided to give it a try. Here are my impressions:
The place is clean, ample parking in the lot and street, plenty of students to practice with (ladies are few as in any BJJ academy), most are friendly and respectful (as in any place, there is the occasional douchebag, not place is perfect), the mat space gets tight when the place is full, but we still have space to train, Professors Larry and Christian are friendly and good instructors (Romulo Barral black belts) and they even spar with students. I have recommended Phenom to others and feel this is a good place to train BJJ.

My 4 year old son has been going to the jujitsu class since last month and private coaching with George the last 2 weeks. I can’t thank this guys enough for the self-​confidence my son has gained! He loves going to the class after being the whole day at school. Neal has great coaching skills, efficient professor!!! Thank you guys for this great place for all ages! Thinking to try the strength and conditioning class for myself very soon!

I met awesome people here. The instructors and people there are nice. Miss going there :(

I had try every fitness center to try to lose weight n diet pills onto now I have join phenom jiu — jitsu I have the best results I went from a size 44 to a 38 The best cardio you’re going to get all natural and great people to train and learn the best technique

New to the sport and Phenom but everyone has been very welcoming and come at me in a way that I something new each time I go. Like one of the main instructors said my first day we are all men with jobs and families and we are not out to injure anyone. I could tell he loved the sport and his comrades.

I signed up my then 4 year old daughter and she has gained so much confidence. Professor Neal is excellent with children. Overall, all the coaches/​staff are great! We’ll be attending Phenom for the long run and hope my daughter will get to compete one day.

This is the best bjj school in town! The atmosphere is motivating and welcoming, been coming here since day one and not turning back

I signed up at this BJJ school because it was down the street to my house. It was the best decision I have ever made. Everyone that trains there is supportive and friendly and the coaches and professors there are so knowledgeable. Professor Christian Bello is super nice and understands what his students want to get out of his students. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to better themselves. Hope to train with you soon!

As a beginner, it can be intimidating to walk into a new gym, but that was not at all the case here. This place is awesome! The staff was super welcoming and helpful. I could tell right away that they teach their students to have humility and to leave their ego at the door. I learned so much in just one hour of training and walked away feeling better than I have in years. I couldn’t wait to sign up. 100% addicted!

Phenom Bjj is a school were grapplers from all affiliations are welcome. There’s a family atmosphere and lots of camaraderie amongst the students. If you’re looking to get in shape, or just change up your training routine, go check em out!

This place is the best to relieve stress, learn self defense, meet very cool professors, and have fun. Professors Larry and Christian, Coach Hernando are very down to earth individuals. It’s also very convenient from my place. It’s near the freeway so it’s easy to hop back on. The facility is great, very clean and everyone is respectful to each other. Its only my 2^nd class but I can see that I will become a regular and become a part of this family.

My 7 year old son has been disciplined in Kickboxing here almost exactly two months to this day. He has shown tons of progress. It’s amazing how he wasn’t sure he wanted to do the classes at first, but now he can’t get enough. His confidence has grown tremendously — on and off the mat — over those last two months.
Much respect to the guys at Phenom for all their patience with the kids!

I love that they have a schedule fit for working Moms like me… if you’re looking for a place to have your kids trained and or for yourself, come check ‘em out!
They’re awesome!
Owners are very accommodating, nice and helpful!
The trainers are real MMA fighters!
My kid’s only 4 and a half & they work with him with patience & know how that he’s only a toddler! My #donjalen loves it!!!

Phenom is the place to be if you’re serious about high level training. The professors and coaches are all extremely skilled and are more than willing to help you improve. They don’t force you to buy a certain Gi brand which i really like. I always recommend phenom to all my friends when they are looking for somewhere to do «UFC».
The gym is well equipped with high quality workout equipment and two ropes that reach the ceiling. The academy just recently installed new mats and is extremely well maintained. Phenom keeps improving and is generously priced, definitely a school that I am very grateful to be training at!

I had signed my son up in late December and little did i know that I would fall in love with Jiu Jitsu myself! When i had first witnessed a class, it was definitely intimidating (especially being a girl) and probably the last thing i could ever see myself doing. It has been about six months and i am hooked! All of the highly skilled professors /​coaches are extremely helpful, patient, and just overall great people. They also offer a fantastic strength and conditioning as well as kickboxing class. So glad i found this place!

I started a free class back in November 2013 and I got hooked and became addicted to Jiu Jitsu, I started just to lose couple of pounds but ended up competing in local competitions.
What I love the most about this place are the instructors and teammates, super friendly, helpful and focus on each team member to help them achieve their goal.
The other thing I love about this place it is ego free, higher belts always step up and help and professors and coaches make it clear that ego got no place in this gym.
Look for coach Hernando to help you get on the right track of fit and healthy.

Training at Phenom has been Great!!! My instructors are the best. Love the people. Everyone has been so encouraging. As a female it’s been difficult to find a gym with other ladies to push and motivate you. This gym offers just that. Plenty of sparring partners to select from in order to make you the fight you’d like to become. Love love love it.

I’ve always wanted to do some type of martial art and I checked out a couple of gyms but they weren’t friendly towards females. I finally found Phenom and I’m so glad I did.
Phenom offers a women’s only kickboxing class so I tried it out and loved it. The coaches are all experienced fighters which was intimidating at first, but the instructor I had, Herman, knew my name right away and was so helpful. I liked the class so much I signed up for the co-​ed muy thai kickboxing twice a week and I can’t wait to learn more.

During my tenure of bjj, I have to say this place is the best I’ve been to. Great instructors on sight especially Hernando who is very enthusiastic about teaching the sport of Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu. Also, the rate is incredibly cheap and cheaper than most places. If you want to train bjj, then Phenom is the place go!

What a difference a month makes! As of tonight, I’ve enjoyed every one of my seventeen sessions. The commeraderie and support at this place is truly PHENOMenal! The training skills of Christian Bello, Larry Scott, Neal Abrams, and Hernando Thola is top notch.
I’ve gained a new family and a whole bunch of brothers I know would defend me if push ever came to shove. (I’m always humbled that they let me roll with them.)
I’ve trimmed up hips and legs, gained muscle mass, lost 3 whole points worth of body fat, and got rid of 25 unwanted pounds. Who needs to carry that around?
Looking for a great location to learn and train Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu? You’ve found it. Come on in and get a head start on those sneaky Holiday pounds.
