BTT Long Beach is a home great people from all walks of life, all ages, and has a curriculum that all BJJ practitioners can understand. All classes consist of technical instruction, sparring, and comic relief! All your worries will disappear for the length of a training session. I sincerely mean this. Professor Marcelo Perdomo is extremely technical, open to answering questions, and willing to set aside time after classes to go over material if you are having trouble. No student is more important than the next. Professor Perdomo recognizes everyone, no matter what belt rank, as a contributing member of the team. Everyone helps out each other. The school has multiple IBJJF titles that clearly demonstrate the teams mentality and mindset. In addition, the family atmosphere is great! One team, one effort! We all learn from each other. Everyone helps out their teammates. Whether you are trying to learn a new skill or getting prepared for competition teammates are willing to help you go the extra mile to accomplish what you set your mind to. It doesnt matter if you are new, visiting, or joining as a seasoned veteran. Everyone here is welcoming and it wont take but a few visits to establish close friendships and find great training partners among a sea of talent. For any timid females, feel free to come check out the gym. We have a group of females that train regularly and are willing to help you ease into your Jiu-Jitsu journey. Law enforcement, fire, and military are all welcomed! For the people who worry about hygiene, the mats are cleaned after every training session. Consider this peace of mind. Furthermore, the gym offers Muay Thai Kickboxing and Strengh and Conditioning classes. This allows for variation in your training. Always good to mix things up. Additionally, we have many visitors from all over the globe who drop in at all times throughout the year. The far-reaching network that BTT has brings in practitioners that are more than willing to share their wealth of knowledge so everyone can learn. BONUS: Unlike some academies out there, Professor Perdomo will train with his students and will encourage them to work on deficiencies in their game. DISCLAIMER: All egos will be check at the door. No exceptions. It has been an honor and a privilege training here and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to become well versed in BJJ. Just remember, Jiu-Jitsu isnt a sprint, but more so a marathon. So, dont expect handouts. You get out what you put in. Hard work will be noticed. Come check out BTT Long Beach!

Ive been with BTT since 2008. I started as a wrestler that wanted to expand my martial arts skills. I want to make it clear that the people at this gym really have become close friends to me. I joined in 2008 but left for a year because of Army training. When i came back to long beach i thought maybe some of them wont remember me but as i walked back in those doors the entire team greeted me. I have to give all credit to marcelo for how far i have gone in the sport. He takes the time to make sure each and everyone understands the details in the technique that he showed. Everyone no matter what belt rank they are help each other out. The higher ranking belts understand that white belts are the future of the sports so instead of smashing them to feel superior they take time to help them. There are no egos in this gym which is great because thats what the sport of jiu jistu is about. The class times fit for anyones schedule. Tuesdays and thursdays there are early classes that make a great way to start ones day. The price is a flat rate and never changes month to month. BTT membership is accepted at all BTTs worldwide. Prior to joining BTT I looked around at other schools and what i love about BTT is that i pay a flat rate and can train in whatever class i want. Other schools have different rates for different class schedules. Its great for those that have jobs where your schedule changes every week. If anyone doesnt believe this review I say feel free to come in and try it out. Doesnt hurt to try does it?

What I like most about the Academy is the “no ego” approach to passing on the rich tradition of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This spirit is prevalent in the students at Brazilian Top Team. Professor Marcelo instills in his instructors, as he himself instructs, with the mindset that each person can achieve their individual goals through sound teaching and a personal commitment to dedicated training. The atmosphere at BTT is distinctive in that on any given day you will see, simultaneously, a senior belt teaching a beginner while sparring together, groups of other practitioners doing cardio and strength training, while an army of youth train at our kids classes. All of this contributes to the “family atmosphere” that is fostered at the School. Another distinguishing fact about the Academy is the ability and availability to train Jiu-Jitsu everyday, all day, with no additional fees outside the monthly tuition. This flexibility of cost and schedule is unheard of at other Schools. The schedule is flexible for all work, school and family obligations and allows you to train throughout the week regardless of what your timeframes may be. If you’re seriously contemplating Jiu -Jitsu Academies, seriously contemplate training at Brazilian Top Team.

I moved from Chicago two years ago and was looking for a BJJ school with Carlson Gracie Lineage. I could not have found a better school! Ive been training at BTT Long Beach for nearly two years now and the training could not be better. It all starts with Marcelo Perdomo. Hes dedicated his life to jiu jitsu and it shows through the detailed technique and his passion for teaching. His love for the game permeates through his students, which results in a cohesive environment where everyone acts and is treated as a member of the team with the overall goal of becoming better jiu jitsu practitioners. Marcelo is constantly thinking of new ways to improve his individual students and the team overall. In addition, the higher belts are always willing to teach and help identify any holes in your game. If you are looking to try out jiu jitsu for the first time or an experienced practitioner, BTT Long Beach is the place to get the be! From white belts to black belts, everyone loves the game and the scheduled classes and availability of open mat will ensure that you take your game to the next level! Trust me, you will not be disappointed! Oos!

Ive been coming here for about 5 months now and I agree with all the reviews about how great this place is to train. The expert instruction, the attention to details, the camaraderie, the helpfulness of other students, etc.... What I wanted to add is that the philosophy here is not just about learning jiu-jitsu, but to learn striking and MMA as well. To be well rounded. Now of course, if you dont want to learn striking, you dont have to, but the option is there. And we have excellent boxing and muay thai instructors as well as our head coach, Professor Marcelo Perdomo teaching the MMA class. Marcelo comes from a long lineage of truly legit fighters such as Carlson Gracie and Murilo Bustamante. He has such a wealth of knowledge that you cant find just anywhere. Anytime anybody asks him a question, he immediately has an answer. Dont be intimidated. There is nothing to be intimidated about here at BTT Long Beach! Do what I did, and give BTT a call. You will agree that although Professor Perdomo is a badass, he is also a very friendly, down to earth guy, who has a passion for teaching and sharing his vast knowledge.
