Message from Head Instructor Renato "Babalu" Sobral
Visit our new website at Cerritos BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Fitness
Babalu's Iron Gym (B.I.G.) is the home training center for head instructor, Renato "Babalu" Sobral.
Our facility is 4,000 square feet and state of the art. Strategically located in the diverse City of Cerritos, our student body comes neighboring cities such as Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Artesia and Lakewood, not to mention the South Bay. Conveniently located near Long Beach, John Wayne and LAX, international members can fly in on a moment's notice.
You don't have to be a fighter to train with us. All that is required is an open mind, a willingness to learn and the desire to be part of the most famous martial arts family in the world. Our programs are open to men, women and children of all ages. Special programs for military and law enforcement supplement our civilian and professional student body.
I look forward to seeing you on the mats.
