BJJ in Long Beach

Long Beach anchors the southern end of LA County with 12 BJJ academies — the second-densest city in the metro. The roster spans the full spectrum from structured lineage affiliates to independent street-focused gyms, making it one of the better-served mid-size cities in Southern California.

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Long Beach brings Eddie Bravo's no-gi franchise to the city, and Gracie Barra Long Beach carries the international GB flag. Gracie Jiu Jitsu Long Beach (Gracie Humaita affiliation) and Blue Collar Grappling fill out the traditional BJJ side. The independent side includes Fight Solutions HQ, HardWorx Fitness (two locations along the city's main corridors), Oddball Jiu Jitsu, Grounded Grit Jiu-Jitsu Studio, and Mixed Miracle Arts — a range that reflects Long Beach's blue-collar, diverse identity.

Signal Hill sits just north of Long Beach proper and adds three more academies (including BTT Long Beach and a Gracie Humaita location), effectively expanding the local cluster. Long Beach is 25–30 minutes south of downtown LA via the 710, closer for South Bay and Harbor-area residents than the Hollywood or Westside options. Expect $120–$180/mo for adult unlimited.
