Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Dana Point, CA

I’ve been training in gyms all around the nation. The culture, competition and community here is like no other. Amazing with kids and adults.

Beyond the great classes and excellent instructors, what makes this academy truly special is its amazing facility and location. The space is beautiful, spacious and very maintained, with an incredible ocean view that makes the experience even better. Great atmosphere and a welcoming team. Highly recommend!

This gym is absolutely amazing! I’ve taken classes with several coaches: Marcelo, Felipe, Carlo, Eric, and Regis, and I’ve had such a great experience with all of them. As a woman going into a gym that is mostly filled with men, I felt genuinely welcome, safe, and respected. I truly appreciated the positive dynamic, professionalism, and respectful environment, all of which made me feel comfortable from the very beginning… They offer classes at different times throughout the day, starting around 6 AM and going until 8 PM. As a student, my schedule is all over the place, so I needed a gym where I could attend classes whenever I had time. I highly recommend this place!

Best Jiu jitsu in the area

Great place to practice Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. This is a beautiful Gym with high level training. Ocean Breeze, large clean mats, and great people. The 7 day free trial period was perfect.

This is by far the best gym in the area. Top level instruction and an incredible facility. The vibe in the gym is super cool and everyone is so welcoming with no ego and to top it all off it has an ocean view!! What more could you ask for?

Peaceful Warrior, now in partnership with Brazilian Top Team, offers a clean, fun and safe environment for jiu jitsu, the instructors and students are all great. I love training here.

I am a long time martial artist who has trained in many establishments. At peaceful warrior , I found a safe family environment with all levels of training. Also, all walks of life, from people who want to compete , people who need it for mental health and just to get into shape. Everyone is friendly and happy to support members needs.

I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for six years across several gyms, but this one has quickly become my home and true family. This gym offers far more than just Jiu Jitsu with Muay Thai, MMA, and fitness all under one roof. The community here is outstanding: welcoming, supportive, and tightly bonded. It feels like more than a gym; it’s a real journey I’m grateful to be part of. I’ve watched the gym evolve and keep improving over time. It never settles for being good, it’s always striving to be better, which perfectly reflects the growth mindset these martial arts teach. The coaches are excellent, and offer classes from early morning through the evening for availability when my life needs it. They’ve given me a clear roadmap for my development and helped me create an actionable plan to level up. If you’re looking for a serious all-around martial arts gym with great people and constant progress, this is the one. Highly recommend.

I've been training at Peaceful Warrior Jiu-Jitsu for a while now, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. From day one, everyone was welcoming, and there was never that intimidating feeling you sometimes get walking into a new gym. The coaches do a great job of breaking things down so they make sense, and they're always willing to answer questions or help after class. No matter your experience level, you feel like you're learning and getting better every time you step on the mats. One of my favorite parts is the community. Everyone pushes each other to improve, but it's done with a lot of respect and encouragement. It's a place where people work hard, have fun, and genuinely enjoy seeing each other succeed. If you're on the fence about trying jiu-jitsu, just stop by and give it a shot. It's a great group of people, and you'll probably feel at home faster than you expect.
