We are beyond honored and excited to announce that Guillobel Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy has been voted the Best Martial Arts School in San Clemente for the 11th consecutive year by the readers of the San Clemente Times! 🏆

Eleven years in a row. That’s more than a decade of consistent excellence, growth, and community love—and we couldn’t have done it without you, our amazing students, families, and supporters.

More Than a Dojo—A Second Home
Since we opened our doors, our mission has remained the same: to empower people of all ages through the life-changing benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether it's helping kids build confidence, teaching teens discipline and resilience, or giving adults a path to fitness and stress relief, Guillobel BJJ is more than just martial arts. It's a family.

We believe in teaching more than just techniques—we teach life skills. Integrity, respect, perseverance, and kindness are at the core of every class we offer. And it’s that heart-centered philosophy that’s helped us stand out year after year.

Being voted Best Martial Arts School in San Clemente is a huge deal for us—not just because it's a recognition of the hard work our team puts in every day, but because it's voted on by you, the San Clemente community. This award reflects your trust in us to teach, inspire, and care for your families. It’s a reminder that we’re doing something right—and a motivator to keep improving every step of the way.

What’s Next?
2025 is shaping up to be one of our most exciting years yet. We’ve launched new programs, expanded our “Parents and Me” classes for little ones, and continue to offer top-notch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and wrestling training—all under one roof.

We're also continuing our mission to make a positive impact in San Clemente, whether through our Kids Camps, self-defense workshops, or community events. So if you’ve been thinking about trying Jiu-Jitsu, there’s never been a better time to start.

Thank You, San Clemente ❤️
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who voted for us, trained with us, referred friends, or simply supported us over the years. We’re proud to call San Clemente home, and we’ll continue working hard every day to earn your trust and build a better, stronger community—one class at a time.

Here’s to 11 years strong… and many more to come!

See you on the mats,
​Team Guillobel
