Marcelo is a force of a nature. Great gym, amazing team, and respectful atmosphere. My kids come to train BJJ as well and have come to love the teaching. I appreciate how the children’s’ classes reinforce the fundamentals letting children receive great instruction and material without sugar coating techniques.

My 13yo daughter has been going here for a few months and we live it. The people that run this place are amazing, the coaches truly care and are very attentive, and the parents are all really good people. The kids here are all so well behaved and they all really love participating in martial arts. So many positive and welcoming vibes here. My daughter was embraced into the family right away. We love the decision we made in joining BTT.

BTT Long Beach is an amazing academy, with a fantastic professor Marcello Perdomo. He is everything you want in a BJJ coach; extremely skilled in BJJ and more importantly highly skilled in teaching BJJ technique. He is methodical, patient, and very thorough. Becoming a team member here is then best thing I've done for myself aside of getting married and having children. This academy focuses on Brazilian jujitsu as well as muy thai, mma, boxing, and wrestling. I have attended classes with other instructors and can't say enough good things about the people at this location. I absolutely

For the past two years, I have had two of my kids enrolled in the kids program class offered at the Brazilian Top Team in Long Beach. The senior coach, Marcelo Perdomo, is a very knowledgeable teacher who really cares for the individual growth of each student--he truly challenges each student to do their very best AND to achieve the most they can. My two kids have already competed in a few tournaments and brought a couple of medals home. My wife and I are very happy with our kids overall progress: physically, mentally, and character development. If I could, I would give these guys double digit

Our family loves Brazilian Top Team! The environment is very welcoming and the coaches are rich with knowledge & experience. Everyone in class gets the attention they need to excel in their personal journey training BJJ, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and any of the many other class styles offered at BTT. They have done an amazing job in offering multiple layers of classes to fit the whole family & at the same time! Parents can train at the same time their kids are training; that is the best!! The kids program is just amazing; the coaches and staff are always positive and willing to help. Great place to

Don't know how this place got five stars. Must be fake reviews. They use a third party to lock you in to a contract and dunno which owner it was but he was not a very nice guy. I wasn't feeling well and and got yelled at by him upon him being nice initially to sell his Sevices. Total unprofessional business. I ended up switching to a different gym who respects their customers instead of just trying to get business. Rude and fake.

Wonderful place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu. The people who come here are warm, supportive, safe and dedicated to learning and improving their skills. Head coach Marcelo does an excellent job of explaining new techniques, making sure everyone feels welcome and involved in class, and creating a positive and fun learning environment. His influence is palpable on those who train under him, as everyone I have learned from so far is fantastic! Thanks BTT for being awesome!

With a world class coaching staff, top of the line training facility, and culture focused on respect, safety, and competition, it's no wonder BTT of Long Beach is the best rated jiu jitsu academy in the area.
I've had the pleasure of training here since the beginning of the year (2019) and don't think I'll ever leave. If you're looking around for a jiu jitsu academy, you've probably read very similar comments to the one I made above but here are 3 very unique reasons why I love BTT of Long Beach.
Exposure to Higher Belts -
Higher belts are instructed to, when possible, pair up with lower belts

I've been training at BTT since the beginning of 2019 and have enjoyed every minute of it. With a world class coaching staff, top of the line training facility, and safe and competitive environment, it's no surprise BTT is the best rated jiu jitsu academy in the area.
Furthermore, the amount of exposure to higher belts is nothing short of amazing. The group classes feel more like personal training, with instructors and students alike all focused on helping you sharpen your game. The classes have not only been informative but physically challenging and I have BTT to thank for my 20 lbs

Been training here for a couple of years now and it has become more than just a place to train Jiu-Jitsu. I can honestly say that training here helped me get through Nursing school. You definitely get that family vibe and you feel honored to rep this team. People here genuinely care about your wellbeing on and off the mat. Jiu-Jitsu at Brazilian Top Team is more than just a sport or martial art, it's a lifestyle.

The best Jiujitsu school , hands down. There's a variety of people here and I'm a year in and still meet new team mates til this day.. plenty of classes , plenty of higher belts to help out and teach you new stuff ALWAYS. Coach Marcelo is a monster and great teacher. Every class feels like a seminar, super attention to detail and endless variations to any question you can ever ask. Btt4life OSs! Coach always says... Jiujitsu isn't for everyone, anyone can do it YES, but not everyone can make it to black belt.. the quitters will ALWAYS quit.. don't be a quitter come be a winner

Nothing but good things to say about Brazilian Top Team in Long Beach. The gym has a great vibe. The classes are consistently challenging and enjoyable. Even for a brand new student like myself, the experience has been welcoming and inclusive. I was expecting to be thrown to the wolves but to be honest it has been nothing like that. Everyone has been extremely supportive and helpful during the 3 months I've been training. There are kids classes and an attached weight room. MMA classes are great as well. Professor Perdomo runs his academy very well. I couldn't imagine a better place to learn Jiu

Joining this team has been a great experience. Professor Marcelo is a great teacher and
is very dedicated to his craft. I appreciate the attention to detail, and Professor Marcelo's emphasis on technique. The best part about this academy are the people. The higher belts are always willing to help out the lower belts and share their knowledge freely. At this academy you can learn without feeling intimidated, you will train with world class practitioners, and be taught by one of the best, Marcelo Perdomo. You will meet a good group of guys and gals and you will feel you are part of the team.

I was new to BJJ and wanted to find a place that wasn't intimidating since I know some gyms can be. I had a small background in boxing so I was looking for a gym that had the camaraderie feeling like I came from. I can honestly say just meeting some of the people my first day there I knew I was in the right place. I'm 6 months in and I'm obsessed. I'm sure it's due to the atmosphere of some pretty cool diverse individuals, where you don't get that feeling of giving up and not wanting to go back. Considering I'm new to BJJ and one of the smaller people there, getting

My husband is part of BTT. Great place! I've never heard him complain. Marcelo is a great supportive coach.
They offer good classes for kids. Took my son for a couple days and he loved it! He can't wait to start going regularly. Marcelo Perdomo is amazing with the kids! He is very patient and engages with every kid on the mat. He would get down on the mat close to them to explain the techniques and walk them step by step. I love that about him. My son seemed to fit in perfectly. The class aside from a nice workout for the kids is also fun which makes it even more engaging for the kids
