OCEAN GROWN BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Ocean Grown Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu exists to strengthen the West Los Angeles community through authentic Carlson Gracie/Rey Diogo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
We welcome anyone willing to work hard, train with respect, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
Our doors are open to the public, but our standards remain the same always. We believe Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, but not everyone belongs in every room. That’s why we protect the culture of our academy and hold ourselves to the highest standards.
Whether you’re here for self-defense, competition, fitness, or personal growth, you’ll find authentic instruction, a supportive community, and a room built on respect. We welcome all levels to no experience at all.
You wish you were here!

What Our Students Say
Sue Zhou, CA
"As a woman who started jiu jitsu originally for self defense purposes- I’ve found a home here at Ocean. I have never felt more supported, safe and taken care of here. The instructors are some of the most knowledgeable people you’ll find in the craft - but most importantly- everyone just loves jiu jitsu here, and they want to share it with anyone willing to put in the work. come try it out, it’ll change your life."
Alec Stevenson, CA
"Ocean grown BJJ has been like a family in my short time there. They coach REAL Jiu Jitsu, and all of the professors are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional! I take a majority of my classes with Perry Hauck, but all the professors are awesome and would highly recommend, especially for those with unique time constraints.. OGBJJ likely has a class when you’re available, which is another major perk..
Highly Recommend to people like myself who are new to the sport, as well as seasoned veterans looking for good training."
Ling Lee, CA
"Been training here for over 2 years now and it has been family to me! Marshall has been a great coach and kind hearted person! I really enjoy coming to train with the cohort we have right now! The 6am gang! Without each and everyone’s support I don’t think I would even have lasted for a month haha. Thank you Marshall and all the great people I met at this gym!"
