Cho's Academy

Cho's Academy in Laguna Beach has been a local martial arts fixture since 2009. The school offers a broad range of programs under the guidance of instructors like Cho, Jason, Adrian, and others who work directly with students across ages and skill levels. While it doesn’t highlight a particular BJJ lineage on its site, the academy’s consistent schedule of gi classes from January through May and no-gi through November reflects a traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seasonal approach. Students at Cho’s train in structured classes that cover fundamentals through advanced techniques. Youth classes separate beginners from more experienced practitioners, with sparring and competition practice scheduled on weekends. Adults have multiple training options Monday through Thursday evenings, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and Muay Thai. The academy also supports private lessons and small group training to address specific goals or skill gaps. Beyond BJJ, Cho’s Academy integrates a variety of martial arts disciplines and wellness programs. Youth programs include taekwondo and a Lil’ Panthers class for toddlers. There’s a homeschool enrichment program that blends martial arts with chess, yoga, and meditation, designed to complement academic curricula for kids ages 3 to 10. Other offerings include donation-based kundalini yoga, strength and conditioning, and a weekly Christian prayer group. This mix shows the academy’s focus on more than just competition, aiming to build physical skills alongside mental and spiritual growth.
