Honor Roll Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — Local services in Santa Clarita

I have been training Brazilian JiuJitsu for over 12 years and am a 4-stripe brown belt. I travel a lot for my job, so I have the opportunity to visit a lot of schools. Honor Roll Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Valencia, Santa Clarita is among the best. They have a super robust kids program (I come early and like to watch other programs to get a feel for the school). They ensure the kids learn real BJJ, and work on technique, but keep things on the fun side so it's a fun, positive learning environment. I've attended four adult classes in the Gi so far as well as some open sparring time. BB Prof Walters has taught each time I was there, and she is fantastic. Explains the technique, gives lots of drilling time, and branches out to very related techniques -- keeps learning in the same neighborhood for any given lesson. She tees up positional drilling after that to re-enforce the techniques of the day. Wonderful!

I've been privileged to train with Coach Silla several times, and roll with Coach Bramer, as well as a black belt whose name I cannot recall, and Prof Bruno Antunes himself! plus several more. Every person I've trained with or rolled with was super respectful and gracious. If you wanted a hard roll, they would oblige. If you ask for a more technical roll for any reason, everyone was super accommodating. I'm 53 years old and some days I need to roll much lighter if I plan to be on the mats a lot -- this school has that amazing balance of family-oriented, considerate, but also highly technical and able to push you hard if that's what you want. I highly recommend...

I had quitted alcohol over two months ago and needed motivation and help with my anxiety.

I decided to join honor roll Brazilian jiu-jitsu and it was the best decision I have made in a long time! I decided to challenge myself or test it out and took the 6-week one-time package challenge and have been loving it since day one and now I have signed up for the year membership! as a birthday gift to my self!

All instructors I have come across are amazing professionals and have high-integrity just like Bruno. John, Jonathan, Danielle, Junior, Gustavo, and of course Bruno are wonderful black belt & advanced brown belt instructors. Highly recommend this dojo BJJ team. Truly, an HONOR to meet and come across team BRUNO ANTUNES!

My journey has been slow but stable. I'm still attending twice a week or sometimes three times a week but I took off for 4 months due to family business and work. But I've been back for the last couple months and it's still a blast! This is really good for my spirit and body. If you just make it to the class you're attending the rest will be fun.

Update on August 2025

Best thing I've ever happened in my life after family of course and my business but I feel part of a community right here I feel like family here and professor Bruno and the other professors and instructors are just amazing human beings. This is good...

Our family has been part of Honor Roll BJJ for over three years, and the experience has been nothing short of incredible. From day one, Professor Bruno and his wife Isabella welcomed us with open arms. They are not only knowledgeable and skilled but also genuinely down-to-earth and caring people who make everyone feel at home.

My daughter, Abigail, has grown tremendously under Professor Bruno’s mentorship. He has been a remarkable coach and role model, guiding her not just in Jiu-Jitsu but also in discipline, confidence, and perseverance. The level of attention and encouragement he provides to his students is unmatched. All the coaches and staff are friendly, professional, and create a positive environment where kids and adults alike can thrive.

Thanks to the exceptional training and support at Honor Roll, Abigail has become a multiple-time gold medal champion, winning across all major Jiu-Jitsu organizations. Her success on the mats is a direct reflection of the quality of instruction and dedication from Professor Bruno and the entire Honor Roll team.

We are truly grateful to be part of such an outstanding gym. If you are looking for a place that combines world-class instruction with a family-like atmosphere, look no further than Honor Roll BJJ. It’s more than just a gym it’s a community that helps students achieve their full potential on and...
