SoCal Combat Club

Beginning something new, regardless of what it is can be intimidating. Factor in that that "something new" is a very intense, physically demanding, male dominated, contact sport...entering as a woman felt like it's own challenge. That is, before I had actually joined. Unsure of whether bjj was something I actually wanted to do, I decided to take my first class just to see what it would be like, not certain if I would continue with it. Immediately I felt welcomed and that my presence was valued. The range of students at various milestones in their mma/bjj journey provided so many different perspectives and areas to learn in. It has been about a year and a half now that I have trained at SoCal Combat Club under Professor Danny Suarez and I have learned so much. He does a great job at gauging and respecting his students' boundaries while ensuring that they grow. Whether that growth is cleaning up technique, learning discipline, getting physically stronger... every student of his has grown under him. Classes are held throughout the week into Saturday, morning and evening, at the new Whittier location with private training in Anaheim. This schedule ensures that anyone can fit in at least a class or two each week regardless of life's demands. Under Coach Danny Suarez you will be challenged and you will be pushed but you will be better for it!

One of the best kept secrets in Jiu Jitsu. Danny Suarez is a great Professor and he completely changed my game! Big thumbs up!

Been attending for the last year! Danny is an excellent coach and creates a welcoming but challenging environment for all levels to improve their skills in kickboxing, MMA, and BJJ.

Ive been training here for around 5 years now and Im really glad I found this place. I tried many other gyms before I found this one but they either showed you a couple of moves and left you alone or was just cardio. If you really want to learn a combat sport you should come here. You can tell Coach Danny puts in a lot of effort to teach us new moves and make sure we have it down. He really wants his students to learn and get better. Hes the one teaching at every class and is very attentive. Everyone here is also super friendly and are always ready to help you. They answer any questions you have and give you tips on what to do better. Ive mainly been doing Jiu jitsu at the private location in Anaheim which is great. The classes are smaller and more intimate which I prefer. Theres more time for the coaches to help you one on one. If youre looking to learn a combat sport this is the place to go.
