It is difficult to find an honest place to train brazilian jiu-jitsu these days. Most bjj schools now will not give their monthly fee on the phone. Instead they tell to come and meet with one of their salesmans or counselors. And some of the schools have different prices depending on your level of skill. They will sell you a beginners package but they will raise their prices if you become more advanced to the intermediate or advanced classes. This is not so at Cosmic Training Center. The head instructor and owner Joseph Lee is up front providing a monthly fee for a few times a week or unlimited classes. He also doesnt charge more if you go to the advanced classes. Joseph also provides a very safe and fun atmosphere for training. He stresses to his students regularly that they are there to help each other to improve. The instruction here is top notch. Joseph is a brown belt from he lineage of Shawn William who is a black belt under the Renzo Gracie. Joseph is extremely knowlegeable in both the sport and self defense aspect of BJJ. He is also an currently an active competitor in the BJJ competition and he is great example to his students. He does his best to support his students if they are interesting in competing in sport BJJ.

I signed up in 2013, but due to health issues, I had to stop. Fast forward a year later, Im back, but I needed to modify the way I train and Joseph and the other students have been really supportive. This is definitely a family atmosphere and people roll light to competitive. You set the pace. Submissions arent cranked and they definitely watch out for your well being. This place is beginner friendly, but its also good for the more seasoned grapplers too because Joseph is well versed in the modern sport bjj as well as takedowns and self defense. Its a very open environment. The mats are cleaned daily. There are separate changing rooms for men and women. There is also a crossfit gym. There is parking in the back and street parking. You shouldnt have to walk more than a block or two, but Im usually able to park right within a block of the studio. If youre thinking about training bjj, come on by and give us a try. If you see a guy rolling with a Darth Vader like helmet, thats me. Dont worry, I wont use the force when rolling.

I love the atmosphere here! Coach Joseph is a great teacher. He is patient with those who are new to Jiu Jitsu, and if you are experienced then he definitely helps you to become a better Jiu Jitsu practitioner than you were before. The atmosphere here is very positive and all the students are supportive and encouraging. If you dont know how to do the moves, the other students will help to teach you. Joseph also holds a Cross fit gym within the academy that is run by Victor. Victor is just as nice and encouraging as Joseph and will push you just as so that youll meet your goal. This is a great school, with great people!

This is an excellent training facility for all levels. There is plenty of instruction for the beginner in a safe and none intimidating environment. However, there are many advanced BJJ practitioners, who well help those with more advanced skills grow in their sport. Coach Joseph has created a respectful, serious but fun environment. I love it. The schedule is flexible enough to accommodate the busiest of schedules at a very reasonable price for your investment. Stop thinking about! Come and join our community, we would love to have you.

Coach Joseph Lee is an excellent instructor. He is very patient in his instruction and goes over lessons step by step to make sure all his students understand the subtle details of the techniques. The atmosphere of this facility is very open and welcoming. Joseph as well as all the students are very friendly and willing to help each other improve. I highly recommend trying out some classes. In addition to learning an effective self-defense art, the lessons are also a great workout.

This is my first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. I was nervous since it is my first time learning a new art. I enrolled in Oct 2013. The experience has been awesome. Coach Joseph is a great teacher. Very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. He creates an environment that is safe, fun and open. The students are friendly and helpful, a testament to what Coach Joseph has created. I consider everyone here family. This school is awesome!!!!!!!

Visited LA from Melbourne. Dropped in for a class. Instructor Joe was pure class. His students embody the bjj brother hood. No ego just learning and teaching.
