Rooted in Venice

Not a Franchise.
A Venice Gym.

Kaizen Academy grew up in Venice, and it shows. We're not a franchise mat that could sit in any strip mall — we're a boutique Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy built for the way this neighborhood actually trains: technical, community-first, and allergic to gimmicks. Our room on Lincoln Boulevard sits between the beach and the canals, a few blocks from Abbot Kinney.

The membership reflects Venice itself — artists, founders, parents, and lifelong grapplers who care more about real coaching than a wall of hype. Whether you're a Venice local, rolling in from the beach, or commuting from nearby Santa Monica or Marina del Rey, our spot on 2014 Lincoln Blvd is easy to reach before or after work, school, or a morning run.

Adding striking to your game? We also run Muay Thai & kickboxing in Venice.

Adult BJJ Classes in Venice (Ages 15+)

We offer both Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for adults of all experience levels. Complete beginners are always guided; experienced grapplers find the challenge they're looking for. Classes run Monday through Saturday — view the full schedule to find a time that works.

Kids BJJ Classes in Venice (Ages 3–13)

Our kids BJJ program accepts students as young as 3. Classes divide by age group: Little Lions (3–5), Juniors (6–9), and Teens (10–13). We focus on confidence, discipline, focus, and age-appropriate self-defense in a safe and structured environment.

Open Mat

Open mat sessions give students extra time to drill, work specific positions, or roll with training partners. Available Friday evenings and Saturday mornings, and included in all memberships.

Training the Kaizen Way

The name Kaizen means continuous improvement — a little better, every session. In practice that means a black belt on the mat for every class, a curriculum that never leaves beginners guessing, and a room capped small enough that you're coached, not just counted. We're proud members of the 360 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu network.
