Been training 4 years and this was the easiest drop in I've ever done.Instruction was great, mats were nice and clean, everyone was friendly.In my experience drop in students can be left alone, but the instructor took the time to learn our names and give us the class structure.Will definitely come back when we're around LA again.

Dane and Mike are awesome. They are good people, are good at BJJ, and know how to teach. The atmosphere at Golden State is perfect for BJJ. Hard training is encouraged and technicality is emphasized. This helps you get better at BJJ while avoiding injury (as much as possible). I've trained at a lot of academies all over the US and world, and, even with all of the selection of BJJ in LA, I drive out of my way to train with Dane and Mike at Golden State.

I can’t say enough good things about Professors Dane and Mike, and the gym they run together. The location is simple, clean and conducive to learning. Both instructors aren’t just first-class BJJ practitioners, they’re first-class people. Simply put; you’d be hard-pressed to find a better place to train.
