After trying out several different Studios in The Valley, our 5-​year old wasn’t interested at all in taking any Martial Arts classes. He never walked away from classes, excited, smiling and exclaiming «That was soooo much funnnnnn!!»
That all changed when he took his first BJJ lesson at Systems Training Center in Encino. He loved it. We are now approx. 6 weeks in and I am impressed with how much he has already learned. He loves Professor Matthew, who is awesome with the kids. There is a fine balance between learning (technique, respect and to listen) and fun and games. Kids learn while having fun, which is, in my opinion as a parent, the best way to learn.
We love the approach, the atmosphere and the professors and staff. So happy we finally found the right place!

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA
Was my first day training here and I absolutely love it! Everyone here is super nice! I’ve been to a couple of other places which were nice but I’d choose this training faculty over any other! I took 3 different classes 1. Krav Maga 2. Jiu-​Jitsu 3. kick boxing & I had an amazing time doing all of them! Even though I was new they put me right into class & made sure I knew exactly what I was doing and partnered me up with people who had been training there for a while so they taught me a thing or two as well! I was super comfortable with how they teach and their routines. I signed up that exact same day and I am beyond happy and proud to be part of this family! Also the place is VERY clean! I hope you all take my advice when I say «if you want to learn MMA, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO»!

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, the instructors are amazing. The instructors and students have fought in UFC, Bellator and King of the Cage. It’s a family environment and a high level gym at the same time. I feel like this is what Sparta felt like. There is no better MMA gym!

Awesome place. My 5 year-​old son is enrolled in the kids BJJ program. The technique instruction is great. As a parent I love seeing the benefits of the structure and discipline that goes with good martial arts instruction. Still, the most important part is that the kids have fun… And they do. Most classes end with spirited games of dodgeball, zombie, red light/​green light etc.
Adult BJJ classes: I’m currently a member at another BJJ school, but the staff has been gracious enough to allow me to try out a few classes here. The instruction is top notch. Specifically, Professor Matthew Pollino, a black belt under Alberto Crane, is great. He explains the techniques well and communicates very important details. While he teaches techniques that will benefit an aspiring competitor, he doesn’t forget about the self-​defense, street survival applications of BJJ.
The students who train seem like a good crew too — no one is trying to kill anyone. Everyone is there to learn and have fun.
A positive experience all around. Check this place out.

I’ve been taking my son here for BJJ since just before he turned 4. He’s now 5, passed his first belt test and he gets trained by a black belt. Amazing. I started training here myself recently. Can’t say enough good things about the staff and the people.

This Is a Great place to learn everything you need to know about Mixed Martial Arts. Great black belt instructors who will work with you, and great people. They have a pretty big space to workout and really fun classes. I learn something new and different every time. Amazing workouts and self defense. I feel like totally different person and carry myself with more confidence and clarity. You will be surprised!

I joined STC Encino four months ago, having had no prior experience with martial arts, and I’m hooked. Going there is the best part of my week. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, the atmosphere is great, and the classes are a great workout. I’m so lucky this place is in my neighborhood and I’d recommend it to anybody!

I moved to LA from the Midwest April 2014. I spent so much time getting settled in and didn’t realize how much weight I put on. I reached 205 lbs and a size 36 jean standing at 5’9″.
I searched for a JiuJistu school close to my house and ended up walking thru the doors of STC Encino in Feb 2015. From the moment I walked in I was welcomed with open arms. Professor Matthew, Coach John, Coach Brian, and Coach Marcus make all the classes so enjoyable that I didn’t even realize all I was learning.
5 months later I am 182 lbs, and size 34 jeans fall off my waist with a 3 finger gap.
I originally joined to get into shape in my 30s but got bit by the bug and with all the legit students this school puts out I had to learn more and more. From the white belts all the way up to the black belts, this school will have you leaving with determination and knowledge of the art.
Again, the staff is amazing and I am now confident in my training to keep advancing.
Thumbs up!

One of the best the mixed martial arts in the valley. I workout there almost everyday. The school had a lot of well knowledged teachers that know their technique and health fitness. If you are there to train or just to lose weight this is the place to be.

I’m not new to martial arts so can say with certainty that STC is fantastic! I take both Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes here. The instructors are well qualified (all my jiu jitsu classes have been with black belts) and they make learning exciting and challenging.
The atmosphere is genuinely inviting. As a woman I especially appreciate the respectful attitude shared by all patrons and the staff. I watch the owners greet each new person that walks in the door with a smile and introduction. They have really created something good here.

Wow what an awesome place to train! I just moved to LA from Indiana this month and wanted to get back into doing Jiu-​Jitsu. I came in for the beginners class great instructor and the people I trained with will no doubt be called friends in time. I also decided to try out the Muay Thai class and had a blast. It was a challenge but nothing crazy.
If you want to learn how to defend yourself, get a great workout, and get to know some really great people this is the place for you!

I came here with a friend and didn’t know what to expect.
Right away, I was welcomed and greeted by a couple of trainers, they explained everything to me; How the classes work and the process of learning jiu-​jitsu. I really did not know one thing about it and I was fairly nervous but they really made everything easy and simple. They showed me a couple exercises and I was instantly addicted. I had a great time for my first time and I will definatley come back here for some light training. I am recommending Gracie Barras jiu-​jitsu training facility to all my friends and family, I can’t wait until my schedule frees up so I can come more often! Thank you!
