Veteran owned and operated providing a warm welcome to any and all interested in self defense and combat sports especially juijitsu. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a Juijitsu gym to call home or drop in. Just check your ego at the door bc otherwise you might not see the best part which is being treated like family.
As an active duty service member preparing to come home for retirement dropping in felt like not just being home in old school Los Angeles / Long Beach but it had the camaraderie of being at the teams or a platoon. Kids classes were safe yet challenging as I brought my son and he had a blast learning new techniques and movements. Definitely a family oriented spot.
Six blades - San Pedro is one of my son's (8 yrs) favorite places to go, he's made friends and family there. He has also learned so much from coach Brian & Tara and all of the other amazing coaches in the past two years. He's already gotten 10+ medals!
The gym is always super clean & a lot of space to roll, mats are always mopped down, located in a nice location with lots of parking.
Brian and Tara have changed my little girls life for the better. They’ve been so welcoming, patient and kind. Truly a hidden gem 💎 …
