Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Schools in Whittier, CA

7 of the 22 martial arts schools we list in Whittier have a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program. "Martial arts" on a map search lumps BJJ mats in with karate dojos, taekwondo studios, and kickboxing gyms, so grappling-specific searches drown in strikers that never teach a guard pass. Every school tagged here has BJJ confirmed as an actual class on its own schedule or program page, not just a mention in a general "martial arts offered" list.

Ask about gi vs. no-gi before you show up. Most academies run separate gi and no-gi classes on different nights, and some require your own gi by the second week — a decent Gameness or Fuji starter runs $60-90. Also check the school's competition lineage (who's the black belt under, and which federation they compete in); it tells you more about instruction quality than the website ever will.

Good to know

How much do BJJ classes cost per month?
Most U.S. academies charge $150-200/month for unlimited BJJ classes, with some bundling in no-gi or open mat for the same price. Drop-in classes typically run $20-30, and many gyms waive the enrollment fee if you sign up during a trial week.

Do BJJ gyms offer a free trial class?
Yes — the large majority of U.S. BJJ academies, including chains like Gracie Barra and 10th Planet affiliates, offer one free trial class or a discounted first week (often $19-49) so new students can try a roll before committing to a monthly membership.
