About this organization
Mission
At East LA Jiu Jitsu, our mission is to empower children and teens from underserved communities through the discipline and skills of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We aim to provide a safe, positive environment that fosters personal growth, resilience, and respect while teaching valuable life skills. Through our programs, we help kids develop self-confidence, leadership, and physical fitness, allowing them to navigate life’s challenges with greater success.
About
We offer Jiu Jitsu classes to children as young as 5 years old, all the way through their teenage years, providing structured training, mentorship, and opportunities to participate in competitions. We work with local schools and charter programs (such as Peak Prep Pleasant Valley) to provide access to Jiu Jitsu classes through educational funding, and we offer free trial classes to encourage participation from families in our community. Additionally, we provide sliding-scale pricing options and family discounts to ensure that no child is turned away due to financial difficulties. Private sessions for small groups are also available to offer focused, personalized training for students. Donations to East LA Jiu Jitsu help fund uniforms (gi), class fees for students in need, transportation to competitions, and educational resources that extend beyond the mat. Our donors directly support the growth and development of inner-city youth, helping them build self-discipline and self-esteem through martial arts. We are currently participating in a donation-matching campaign through Daffy, where all donations will be matched up to $4,000. We invite supporters to double their impact and help us reach more children in need. You can view our matching campaign here: https://www.daffy.org/campaigns/help-inner-city-kids-through-jiu-jitsu
