Dojo by Leo Vieira / Jiu Jitsu

Dojo by Leo Vieira / Jiu Jitsu is located on the second floor at 350 Main Street in Seal Beach and has been part of the local martial arts scene since 2017. Founded with the goal of shaping the lives of children, teens, and adults through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense, the academy emphasizes respect, discipline, and steady progress. The school follows a structured code of conduct that guides students in their behavior both on and off the mats, reflecting the values instilled by its leadership. The academy offers a range of classes tailored to different age groups, starting with “Littles” aged 4 to 6, progressing through youth and teen divisions, and extending to adult classes including women’s only and no-gi sessions. Instruction is delivered by a team of instructors with competitive credentials, who focus on technical skill development and personal growth. Students can also schedule private lessons or join small group sessions for more individualized attention. Open mat times provide additional opportunities for practice and sparring. Dojo by Leo Vieira maintains a training environment where respect for instructors and fellow students is central. Students are encouraged to arrive early, follow etiquette such as bowing when entering and leaving the mat, and maintain cleanliness and proper attire. The facility is wheelchair accessible and serves not only Seal Beach but also nearby communities like Rossmoor, Long Beach, and Huntington Beach, making it a convenient option for those looking to train under the Checkmat banner in Southern California.
