We provide access to structured youth development programs that promote discipline, confidence, and resilience in East LA and Boyle Heights. A dream of changing an area through the art of jiu-jitsu. In 2022, East LA Jiu Jitsu was founded and quickly found traction in the community where it had been located, with students experiencing transformation and discipline as they began to learn the art of jiu-jitsu, which in turn had a positive effect on their schools, families, and city. Sensing a growing need in Boyle Heights, the decision was made to open a new location there and to continue the important work that had already been proven to work in East LA. Boyle Heights Jiu Jitsu (BHJJ) opened in July 2025 and is currently accepting new students.
