And never trained. All the time I spent in Torrance, Carson, gardens— the academy was there. The Gracie school I’ve heard some mixed things about. The guys who run it are skilled and they’ve produced some good fighters— but they have an old school kind of model.

I think nino in lawndale could be a good option for you. I imagine that school and kron’s school in Culver City will have some type of trial option you can try. I think overall Ninos in lawndale will be a lot cheaper and you will probably get more black and brown practioners

But try them out and see. I think both schools will offer a great workout and self defense
And both guys have top notch lineage and history in the sport
