Panza Jiu Jitsu, Torrance CA

I've been training here for years, you will not find a higher quality or more welcoming place to train and learn BJJ. Panza is a fantastic teacher and has created an incredible space for grapplers of all skill levels to grow and learn. If you are looking to start training or have been training for years then this is the place you want to be.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I tell everyone to go here when the topic of jiu jitsu comes up. I've trained at other gyms and this is by far the best. The top notch instruction and welcoming environment make this place a home away from home for your kids or yourself!

Very happy with our daughter's transformation during her time here. Our only goals when joining were to empower her to defend herself and give her confidence. She's accomplished that thanks to coach Panza and coach Camille. Both are patient, great with kids, and very clear in teaching fundamental techniques. Highly recommended.

I’m a 10+ year BJJ practitioner, and Panza BJJ is one of the best gyms I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of.
Whether you’re casually getting into bjj, or want to compete at the highest levels - this is the place to go if you’re in the Southern LA area.

Panza and the team are warm, welcoming, and family oriented, not to mention he has the accolades to match his top notch instruction.

Side note- he is also great with kids if you’re wanting to get your child involved with self defense and community at an early age

Started training at Panza jiu jitsu two years ago. The instructor is a world champion and high level competitor/ instructor. I would recommend Panza BJJ to all levels from beginners to advanced.

Master level class with one of greatest names on BJJ training you almost 1x1 is priceless. Panza is a very knowledgeable professor and his methodology makes you really improve your skills. A very easy going place to make friends, you always going to feel welcome. The new gym is beyond 5 stars!

For sure the best JiuJitsu in South Bay for all levels and ages!

This is the place to go if you’re looking for any self defense classes for kids or adults. Panza and team are so fun and welcoming. My kids were sold after one trial class!

Me and my husband have been training there for a couple of years now and we love it. Since day one we felt like we’re part of a family. There’s fundamentals classes, no gi, open mat, advanced and kids classes. No matter what age and where you come from, I’m positive you’ll always feel welcomed.

Panza JJ is such an amazing place for BJJ! My daughter has been going here for over 2 years and she not only loves it, but is learning so much about technique, discipline and patience. The coaches- Panza and Camila are exceptional! They are so patient with the kids and are great teachers. The kids have so much fun too! My husband has also been doing jj for over 2 years at Panzas. It is his second home, after ours, lol. Panza's is a family, a community and we love it so much!

I have been taking my kids to Panza for their class for about a year, they have learned so much. The class is a perfect mix of discipline and fun and of couse martial arts, they are learning how to self defense and for us is so important.
We recommend them 1000%

I began training here a few months ago after being at another school for years. The instructor is a world champion whose expertise shines through in every class, and the high-level students create an incredible atmosphere. The camaraderie among members is inspiring, and the facility is well-maintained with spacious mats for training. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Panza's BJJ school offers an exceptional environment to grow, learn, and be part of a supportive community.

Excellent BJJ, excellent folks. Excellent vibes. Panza does a fantastic job, and he is very funny too. Large gym, his and hers change rooms. Clean and fresh.
