Excellence School of Jiu-Jitsu

This is the best jiu-jitsu gym I’ve ever been to. Eduardo is an outstanding teacher and coach, creating an environment where training feels like you’re among family

This gym saved me during covid. My cousin Beau said there is amazing jiu jitsu in that academy that has blocked out the windows during the pandemic, just enter through the back alley. Once i did it changed my life. I haven’t competed in 20 years. Eduardo, Syang, Bruno, Zaca, and all the ESJJ family pushed me to get back out there and push myself, and to get healthy again. You have been so kind to me, my kids and all my friends and family i have recommended to come train. The name reflects the results. A school of excellence! Osss

Professor Santoro and his wife Syangy are awesome coaches and all around incredible people. They are very patient and care deeply about each and every one of their students. This gym is great for all levels and ages of BJJ players, from kids to adults and beginners to very advanced. Professor Santoro enjoys the art of teaching BJJ and is a multiple time world champion. If you're wanting to explore BJJ, learn self defense, elevate your BJJ game, or just meet new people and practice healthy habits - you need to join this gym. All of the members are very friendly and caring. I've been training here for a year and a half and absolutely love the place, Professor Santoro, Syangy, and the entire ESJJ family! See you on the mat. :)

Eduardo Santoro is one of the best athletes on the history of jiu jitsu. And a great teacher. And this becomes even better with the junction with another legend of jiu jitsu that is the Cobrinha. Eduardo santoro has a great teaching with children and adults! I've trained with him for a long time in Sao Paulo and now Torrance has the honor of having the best Jiu Jitsu.

Eduardo Santoro is one of the best BJJ fighters in the world and an amazing teacher. One of the most knowledgeable masters of BJJ anyone could ever meet. A great friend too. Anyone who has access to him is very lucky. Miss training with him a lot.

This is a great environment for people of any age to learn high-level jiu jitsu. Classes are led by competitive blackbelts from Brazil – Eduardo and Syang. Cobrinha BJJ has produced some of the most successful competitors in the sport today. The instructors here are completely dedicated to ensuring that everyone learns solid, effective jiu jitsu. Everyone is treated with respect. If you want top instruction and hard training with motivated, talented people, then this is the place to be! It’s a welcoming, safe place to learn. I love training here. The facility is brand new and very clean.

I trained with Eduardo Santoro as bjj instructor in Sao Paulo/Brazil for 2+ years. He has an outstanding teaching skills, sharing plenty of details and correcting any minor mistake. Eduardo is also an easy going person. I am really his fan!

This is one the best places to start training Jiu Jitsu in South Bay Area. They already have a solid teaching program that Cobrinha headquarters in LA have been using to graduate World Chanpions for years now. Eduardo, the main coach from Cobrinha BJJ Southbay is 2 times Black Belt World Champion and is one the most prestige fighters inside BJJ. He has graduated dozens of black belts and has been holding his black belt for over 18 years. This brand new facility is always clean and smels really good. It has the best mat available on the market so students can practice with confidence, safe and more efficient. I have been taking classes for about 3 weeks now and my skillls and cardio are far beyond I ever been or expected. They also have the kids program which my daughter is been part of and she is loving in it. This group of kids are learning and improving their Jiu Jitsu skilll and at same time they are making a good phisical exercise, socializing and having lots of fun. I am also trying to convince my wife and take the women's class that are coached by professor Syang, a top rank black belt BJJ. So far, I just have to been thankful to professor Eduardo and I look forward to one day become a black belt.

Cobrinha is the best jiujitsu in LA. Eduardo is a high level instructor with over 20 years of experience. He is an amazing 4th degree black belt competitor who teaches all levels of BJJ from beginners to competitors. Cobrinha is a family environment with a passion for the sport. You will be happy to join after your first session. Oss

Much more than a Master... a Champion.. a Leader... an Idol. Try his classes and you will find out that behind of excellent very technical teacher, a humble, respectfull and a great man.

Eduardo Santoro is such a great teacher and competitor. In just 3 years since I've started to train Jiu Jitsu at Excellence School of Jiu Jitsu at Sao Paulo, Brazil, I could see he competing in high level, and always exchanging knowledge with the best competitors of the world: Cobrinha, Gurgel, Cyborg, Langhi, Lepri, Tererê and so much others are just an example of great persons we had the pleasure to receive on our mats. Cobrinha + Portugues = Success guarantee!

Mestre Portuga, one of the most important Jiu fighter in Brazil ever! Now expanding his knowledge in the US. My oldest friend since 1980...his strength, personality, commitment contribute to be a great teacher in the marcial arts. Let your kids in his school and you will see how Jiu Jitsu can contribute to their education.

Love this gym. Instructors are very patient with the kids. My child has been practicing for just under a year, and he’s learned so much and gained a lot of confidence. He enjoys every class.

Best place to train Bjj in LA area! Eduardo is a very committed teacher and very talented. Also he is a very good person and he cares a lot about his students.

Sayang and Eduardo are fantastic and patient professors for both kids and adults. We moved both kids to this studio from another studio after they tried out the classes a few times. Such a joy watching my 5 year old arm bar another kid :)

This place is so clean and so friendly! They make you feel welcome no matter what your skill level is. Eduardo is very skilled and knowledgable and Syang's women's class is the best! I feel more confident as a women with the self-defense I have learned here. I strongly recommend joining!
