Since joining Champions I’ve fallen in love with training again. They’ve helped me get that fire back that I needed and know exactly how to level up your skills! If you are on the edge of wanting to try boxing, Mui Thai, or Brazilian jujitsu Champions gym Is the way to go no doubt.-Maui

Great place. Ive taken my nephews to practice and I couldnt be more pleased. The coaches are well engaged and so are my nephews. Every time they see me they talk about how much they love it and talk about how much they learn. They have plenty of time to roll as well as get attention from the coaches during drilling. They even compete against other kids and that is my favorite part to see.

Incredible gym to learn martial arts, get into shape and meet great people. The coaching staff is the best and make sure that everyone is involved and constantly improving. Great environment for all ages, if you have any interest in boxing, jiu jitsu or Muay Thai I highly recommend that you stop by and check out the classes!

Made an appointment for 9am May 29th. We called earlier in the week and were told to come on Saturday at 9am. We came and the gym was closed. We called both numbers listed on the website and no one answered at one number while the other was disconnected. I emailed them as well and the email on the website is no longer valid either. Complete waste of our time.

I have been at Champions West Covina for about a year now and I am so grateful to be training with an amazing group of people. I absolutely love the women’s class and Coach Jackie has really helped me get into better shape. I do Advanced BJJ on Mondays and Wednesday and Women’s BJJ on Fridays. Great experience overall!

Not sure where all these good reviews came from but they sure fooled me.My husband and I brought my 12 year old sister tonight to try their kickboxing class but the coach teaching the class never once corrected anyone or taught them any formation etc. The coach kept leaving and talking to others instead of focusing on the students.The students werent very welcoming either. The little girl partnered with my sister kept rolling her eyes and being rude. They eventually asked for help from another student (also rude). WHY??? Where is the coach to help and correct them??? They werent understanding of the fact that it was her first time taking a class and did not make her feel welcome. How does this place have any clientele?All the coaches were too young to have any credibility. Even the guy training jiu jitsu was only a purple belt.Im so disappointed because she was really excited.

My fitness journey began in February 2016 and I could not be happier with my results. I had been searching for a facility that would offer a friendly and inviting environment. I wanted to focus on my fitness goals and not worry about the workouts being set up for men and women of multiple levels. I also did not want to worry about rushing to get to class and not arriving early enough to get a spot. Champions Womens Only Boot Camp offers great class options and superior coaching support. I highly recommend the multiple programs and classes offered here.

Very nice gym. There is something new to learn for everyone, any age who trains here. All the coaches are well educated in there sport and treat their students like family and everyone respects one another. Everytime you leave this gym you will be more educated in your sport and more confident in yourself.

Great place to train at! The coaches share their knowledge and expertise with humility and understanding. With 1 membership you have the opportunity to explore multiple mixed martial arts disciplines. The teamwork and sense of community that is fostered at Champions is an essential piece of what makes Champions such an incredible place to be a part of. The atmosphere and energy level brought to each class by fellow gym participants and advanced athletes encourages you to push yourself and strive to better by the end of each class. At Champions it’s a comfortable place to come in as a beginner. I was new to Boxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jui Jitsu. I came to this location as a beginner with zero experience, and started with Boxing and Muay Thai but was intrigued by what I saw during the Jiu Jitsu classes. I was hesitant to dive into Jiu Jitsu because I felt that I didn’t know enough. I began attending the all women’s Jiu Jitsu classes on Friday evenings and became comfortable enough to integrate into the co-Ed beginner classes during the week.Whether you’re just looking to get in shape or are interested in advancing your skill level, the staff at Champions acknowledge the consistency and hard work put forth by each student. The coaches will help you progress and achieve your goals based on your effort level and individual desires. Regardless of your reason for working out Champions is a great place to push yourself and have fun while doing it.

Best BJJ school in the area trust me Ive checked most of them. Family friendly environment no egos not a sink or swim school they actually teach you the basics step by step. I felt welcomed the minute I stepped inside the school. I have no idea why someone whos not even a student would give a bad review check for yourself this is a good school with good people.

I live in Pasadena and have searched for, and visited, schools in many of the surrounding cities. I reached out to Champions, and right away, I knew that I found a home. Coaches, staff, and students all make this place feel like home and family. Everyone is very knowledgeable, passionate, patient, and caring. Whether you are advanced, or a beginner with no prior experience, every person associated with this school is invested in your personal growth, and will work closely with you individually to help you reach your goals. Don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself (they offer a free trial) and I’m certain that your experience will be the same. I cannot thank Champions enough for taking me in, and having such a positive impact on my life!

I came from North Carolina I didnt know anyone or had any friends besides my co workers but there really not my friends just co workers, anyways Im truly grateful I joined this class, I was motivated to learn different styles of fighting such as mui tai,Brazilian jiu jitzu and boxing. I was nervous cause I didnt know anybody but you gotta go in there with a great attitude and an urge to learn, yes I was shy and yes I was afraid to be the new guy coming in but we all go through it, the staff was really friendly because I was hungry to learn and I was asking questions and I wasnt afraid to go with the big guys . I met so many people and tbh we are all there to have fun and learn. The staff with no hesitation at all will work with you when it comes to signing up or even struggling financially or even when you got a complaint . Just be honest and dont take them for granted . 🤷‍♂️😄

Brought my son in bc i saw they offeded a 30 day free trial. At 1st i was sceptical thinking it was some sort of sales gimmick like ive experienced in the past but to my surprise it wasnt. The gentleman who helped me explained all their options and gave me the option of enrolling or taking the 30 day trial. I opted for the trial bc my son tends to lose interest farely quickly. Without hesitatiin i was awarded a 30 day free trial pass and my son was given a prety cool shirt for free. Fast foward 30 days later we are still here and just enrolled my son to officially be part of the champions family. 100% satisfied. I highly recomend this place.

I started training bjj at Champions 10 months ago and I absolutely love it! My general fitness has improved--Im stronger, quicker, and more flexible than I was when I began--and I feel more confident in my ability to defend myself. The atmosphere at the gym is very positive and friendly. The coaches are super knowledgeable and spend time with people individually to make sure everyone understands the techniques. The classes are challenging but the coaches are very supportive and make training enjoyable...usually ;) Sometimes as a woman it can be intimidating being in a mostly male environment, but everyone at Champions makes me feel comfortable and welcome and there are often several other females to train with. And for those women who prefer to do the all female thing, there is a womens only bootcamp class with a fantastic instructor! I am very happy with my experience at Champions both on and off the mat and would recommend this gym to anyone interested in learning a martial art or getting fit!!!

Ive been training at Champions BJJ since it first opened and right off the bat I loved it. I weighed 250lbs when I first started off and was able to get down to 208lb with the help of champions bjj coaches. The coaches are awesome! Very helpful and friendly. You get a positive energy when you walk in and the other students are very helpful and encouraging. I would recommend this gym to anyone that wants to learn how defend themselves or would just like to get in shape.

I recently moved back to covina and was recommended this school by another teammate. It is a very well rounded school and also has a womens program and childrens classes that will accelerate your kids to the next level of jiu jitsu. Great family environment. The school also caters to kids and adults with special needs. I have never heard of a school doing that but I feel its a great step forward to inspire other schools to follow suit.

Been at Champions almost a year now, and I couldnt recommend it more! They have a fantastic new facility with a full-size boxing ring, heavy bags, and a large jiu jitsu mat area. They have a nice family atmosphere with a friendly, caring and skillful coaching staff -- and a great group of students, too! Come check out a free trial, or drop by the 11:30am Saturday open mat!

My son started at the old location, a month after they opened. Jiu jitsu has truly changed him and our family. He is more confident and very disciplined. The staff is amazing and they truly care about everyone that walks through that door.Not only are they awesome instructors but they also make sure your kids are doing good in school and if they misbehave at home the coaches will take care of that too.I cant imagine going to another gym, champions has become a part of our family.

Great place to train very clean and professional, yet everyone is welcoming and willing to lend a hand. A lot of schedule options and are open to working something out for you to make sure you can come in. Evryone is friendly and so far its been alot of fun training with the various coaches. It really feels like a community and want to see you succeed, rather than just a place that is trying to shuffle people in and out as fast as possible to bring in more profit.

Very well organized and welcoming teachers that we have here. My experience so far has been great. Champions is a remarkable gym that teaches many fight-based sports such as boxing, muay thai, and brazilian jiu jitsu.. I take part in all of these martial arts and have learned a lot from the many instructors that this gym has. They’re not just teachers but have grown to become apart of my martial arts family. Thank you

Champions BJJ is exhilarating, stimulating and overall kicks butts! Been training in Muay Thai for close to 10 months & still learn new skills everytime, dropped few pounds and tone up muscles along the way. Coaches are remarkable, knowledgeable and always willing to help reach our goals may it be training for a tournament or just for fitness. Classes has definitely make me feel more confident in myself when it comes to self-defense. I enjoyed it so much that i signed my kids up for their Black Belt BJJ class & they love it! Classes are small, facilities is spaces and staffs treats you like family😃😃😃

Signed up for Jiu Jitsu when they were at the old location. Been coming since February and it has been a great experience ever since. The atmosphere is amazing. Being able to talk your peers or coaches about the sport and techniques extremely helpful and motivating. The new facilty clean and well kept. They just installed a brand new professional 16x16 boxing ring. I train about 4-5 a week doing both the boxing and the jiu jitsu. Im currently training to achieve my blue belt.

Hands down the best BJJ/MMA School in the West Covina/Azusa area. High quality instruction, great workouts but even more a friendly and family oriented atmosphere.Ive been training BJJ for close to 17 years and I have been to almost every BJJ School that I can find. Champions BJJ is one of my favorite places to train.The place is clean and Coach Javier and his staff do an excellent job of making sure that ALL of the students learn, not just the competitors.If you live in the area you gotta check this place out!

It is without doubt one of the best Jiujitsu and various martial arts academies in Southern California. Clean and familiar environment... The gym is super spacious and even if more than one class is going on at the same time, you dont feel invaded or squeezed. The Tatami is huge.In JiuJitsu classes, the warm-up is strong, the doves are tough... Even loose is tough there.The class is varied, there is room for everyone, man, woman, child.Train with them, you wont regret it.OSS
