My family and I recently joined and are so happy we did. The Professor is professional, skilled, and a great teacher; we are learning so much. The place is open and clean and the people are warm and welcoming. So grateful to be a part of this community.

Best place to train in the South bay hands down. Great training environment for the whole family, my niece and myself train here for the last 3 years. Professor Thaigo is one of the best when it comes to teaching the complex art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and presents it to his students in matter that anybody can learn! Also they have two bathrooms and a water machine. I'm very fortunate to find this gym near my home.

I'm still not entirely sure why I decided to try BJJ. I'm not an athletic person (my best sport is bowling if that tells you anything, and the thought of running a mile sends a cold chill down my spine) but I wanted to try something new and this was close to my house.
I was shaking like a little chihuahua when I went to my first class, I thought I was going to be SO out of place as a super shy 38 year old mom that couldn't fight off a house cat, but now after attending classes for almost 6 months I'm comfortable wrestling 300 pound dudes and choking people with my thighs.

In short - Thiago is a passionate humble guy who makes everyone feel like family. I've lost 40lbs in about 6 months and have never looked back. He knows how to inspire the youth he teaches as well as the adults 15-40 that he works with in a way I've never seen a practitioner or trainer ever do.
There is a schedule for everyone, pricing that is fair with monthly options that offer a discount. The facility is nice and he's always adding more amenities like a filtered water system, more seating, gear if you ever forget something etc. I would recommend this to any person or family

Torse House is the best thing that has ever happened to me Thiago is a dedicated, passionate patient person who can help anyone from any walk of life learn Jiu Jitsu.
In Short - amazing great price unlimited classes are cheaper than anywhere else in the city and two classes per day for adults 7 days a week. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months yes... its that good. (335 to 295)
In the past 6 months after being nervous to come in I have been made to feel like family. I've learned about myself, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, patience, humility, and discipline in a way I haven't before.

This BRAZILIAN Jiujitsu place rocks! The coaching method is phenomenal very detailed excellent actually.! Thiago and his team are terrific instructors I am especially impressed by the kids program since that is what I wanted my grandkids to try. After first day they were hooked. By the way it looks with the adults attending his classes they must be awesome too! Thiago also has private classes for both adults and children. He's open daily I have no idea when he sleeps. The studio is clean and well maintained.
This place has it all a really great vibe - very welcoming and friendly group

Torse House is awesome. Great environment and Coach Thiago is an amazing teacher. There's plenty of classes to take, and it's an unlimited membership so I can go to as many classes as I want every month.
As a newer student, it's also amazing that Coach Thiago teaches every class and gives all the students hands-on attention.
Can't say enough good things about this place, if you're thinking of trying jiu-jitsu, this is the place to do it in the South Bay.

I've been training with Professor Thiago for almost 3 years already. Awesome person, always down to share his knowledge and help his students to improve on and off the mats. Also, a top-level competitor with a high-level Jiu Jitsu. Always hard and good training with positive vibes there. I highly recommend training there.

My husband comes to open mat here occasionally and he really likes the facility and coach Thiago. It's small, but very well maintained and the mats are top notch. My daughter has been doing jiujitsu for 3 years - 2 years consistently, however, she has generally been the youngest and the smallest where she currently trains. My husband noticed there were several kids around her age and size taking the kids classes so we decided to try out a Saturday class. Thiago is a great coach/mentor and really wonderful with the kids. Since starting, every week my daughter asks when she is going there again

While I am perfectly capable of rendering myself unconscious without assistance, for my 48th Birthday I decided to give myself the gift that keeps on making me tap out, BJJ. I researched tons of BJJ spots in the South Bay but decided to check out Torse House first, primarily because of the location. I'm glad I did. From the minute I walked in, Professor Thiago and the other students were super friendly and welcoming. No egos, no "tough guy/girls", just cool people who love BJJ.
Thiago is a great teacher who explains and demonstrates things clearly and methodically so it's

You are gonna love this place, as a brand new student to the whole Bjj life, I took a class to see what it's all about. I had no idea I would love it as much as I do. Maybe it's the class or maybe it's the atmosphere, either way I'm committed to coming and learning more with each class. Coach Thiago is driven, passionate,and an incredible instructor. He coaches you on the level you're at and pours into you to make sure you understand exactly what he's teaching and has no problem going over instructions until you get it. Everyone is very friendly,motivating,and inspiring
