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.
