The Difference

Why Prime Club

Gracie-Rooted Structure

Every class follows the Gracie curriculum — the most proven, methodical system in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. No improvised class plans. No wasted mat time.

Premium Clean Environment

A boutique facility maintained to the highest standard. Clean mats, quality gear, and a space that signals how seriously we take this sport.

Sauna Recovery COMING SOON

Our in-house sauna is coming — an exclusive recovery benefit designed to complement your training and keep everything under one roof.

Serious but Welcoming Culture

No egos. No machismo. Just focused students helping each other improve. The kind of culture that keeps people training for decades — not just months.

"A boutique academy built for students who want more than a crowded, generic training room."

COMING SOON

Train. Recover. Return Better.

Our in-house sauna adds a simple, high-value recovery element to your routine — without distracting from what matters most: jiu-jitsu. Post-training sessions to flush lactic acid, improve circulation, and decompress.

Student Stories

What Our Students Say

Prime Club changed my relationship with training. I've been to four different gyms in LA and this is the first place that actually felt like the culture matched the technique. Professor Stefan is the real deal.

M
Marcus R.
Blue Belt — 2 Years

I enrolled my son in the kids program and the transformation in his confidence and discipline has been remarkable. The coaches here are patient, attentive, and clearly care about each student.

S
Sarah T.
Parent — Kids Program

I came in as a complete beginner and never felt out of place. The fundamentals class gave me a real foundation — clear structure, patient instruction, genuine progress every week.

J
James K.
White Belt — Beginner

Competition training here pushed me to a completely different level. Professor Stefan knows how to prepare you mentally as much as physically. I podiumed at my last tournament. First time ever.

Frequently Asked

Do I need experience to start?
Not at all. Our Fundamentals program is specifically designed for beginners with zero experience. You'll start with the most foundational concepts and build from there in a safe, supportive environment.
Is this Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Yes. Prime Club is rooted in the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu methodology — the original and most complete self-defense-based system in the world. Our curriculum and lineage trace directly to the Gracie family.
Do you offer beginner classes?
Yes — the Adults Fundamentals class is dedicated entirely to beginners and white belts. Classes are structured so that every new student knows exactly what to expect and can follow along from day one.
Do you have kids classes?
Yes. Our Kids Program is available for ages 5–15 and runs multiple times per week. Classes focus on discipline, confidence, and physical coordination through age-appropriate Jiu-Jitsu instruction.
What should I wear for my first class?
For your first free trial, comfortable athletic wear is perfectly fine — shorts and a t-shirt work great. If you continue training, we'll help you get properly fitted for a gi. No need to purchase anything beforehand.
Do you offer sauna access?
Our in-house sauna is coming soon. It will be available exclusively to Prime Club members as a recovery benefit. Stay tuned — we'll announce when it opens.
