One Jiu Jitsu - Lake Elsinore, California

Shantel Mendoza

We’ve been with this gym for over two years, and the growth we’ve seen in our two boys has been nothing short of remarkable. The confidence, knowledge, and skills they’ve developed under Professor Evan, Professor Adam, and their incredible team are unmatched. Our oldest daughter joined about a year ago, and her transformation has been equally impressive. She went from being a shy, timid little girl to someone who now exudes confidence and strength we never imagined.

This gym has truly become part of our ohana, our family. If you’re looking for a place where your children will not only learn self-defense and build their confidence but also gain valuable life lessons, this is it.

This gym family is truly remarkable. My 12-year-old son, whom I previously believed to be lacking in athleticism and coordination, has flourished here. Within a year of joining, we have witnessed significant progress. Despite unsuccessful attempts at various team sports, Jiu Jitsu has resonated deeply with him, surprising us given his gentle and non-confrontational nature. Professors Adam and Evan are exceptional instructors who ensure that the children not only grasp the techniques but also comprehend their practical applications in potentially dangerous situations. They maintain a fun and engaging learning environment, fostering motivation among the kids. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym and its supportive community to anyone considering enrolling their children in Jiu Jitsu.

Outstanding Experience at One Jiu Jitsu Lake Elsinore!

I had the privilege of attending a seminar at One Jiu Jitsu Lake Elsinore a few weeks ago with Giva Santana, and I have to say—it was an absolutely incredible experience! I brought my daughter for the kids' session and stayed for the adult session myself, and both were nothing short of amazing.

From the moment we walked through the doors, Evan and Adam made us feel like family. Even though we don’t train here, the level of friendliness and hospitality made it feel like we’ve been part of this team for years. Their passion for teaching and building a supportive environment was evident in every interaction.

The seminar itself was phenomenal. Giva Santana’s instruction was top-tier, and the knowledge he shared left a lasting impression on both my daughter and me. The kids' session was engaging and fun, with a perfect balance of discipline and encouragement to keep the young ones excited about learning. For the adults, the techniques we covered were detailed and practical, with a clear focus on building fundamentals while challenging us to grow.

What really stood out to me was the culture at this gym—it’s positive, uplifting, and inclusive. Everyone we met, from staff to members, treated us like part of the family. The sense of community here is unmatched, and it’s clear that the team has built something truly special.

Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned practitioner, One Jiu Jitsu Lake Elsinore is the place to be. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to grow in jiu-jitsu or simply join a welcoming community. Evan, Adam, and the whole crew—thank you for making this such a memorable experience for my daughter and me! ?

Got to take my son to his first day of class! Not really sure who was more excited between the two of us. This gym is clean, coaches and staff are very friendly and it definitely gives off that family vibe. Coaches did great along with all the other students making my son feel comfortable and apart of the group. This was his first time in this type of setting and he absolutely loved it! Definitely would recommend checking it out. They offer both children and adult classes.

About 15 months ago I finally got to a point in my busy life to try out jiu-jitsu. I'm in my mid-30's. I was going to try out a couple different gyms, but after the first week here I didn't even bother going anywhere else. This place has it all. Everyone (both coaches and students) are super supportive and friendly. The coaches are super knowledgeable. Very encouraging to help anyone out no matter what stage they're in or what pace they're looking for. The camaraderie is awesome. it's been an amazing and transformative journey thus far!

Really great group of men and women training to be better at jiu jitsu. They don't take themselves too seriously, but you get really good instruction and you have a good time doing it. Best thing is that it's not just the instructor leading class who wants to help. Upper belts will slow things down for you and explain things as well. Makes it feel like family. 10/10 would recommend.

I started training here last week with no experience at all. The instructors and Professor are super kind and helpful for all the students, both new and old.

I immediately felt like family and signed up right away. 10/10 recommend joining 🙂
