Hillcrest Park is the oldest park in Fullerton, opened in 1922 and often called the "crown jewel" of the city — 37 acres of mature shade trees, the historic WPA stone fountain and Hillcrest Stairs, the Izaak Walton Cabin, and Lions Field right alongside it. It sits just north of Downtown Fullerton and Fullerton College, bounded by Brea Blvd, Harbor Blvd, Valley View Drive and Lemon St in the 92832 ZIP.
The folks who live and walk near Hillcrest — runners grinding the famous stairs, families at the picnic areas, students from the college — are exactly the kind of active people who take to jiu-jitsu fast. And because the academy shares the same 92832 ZIP just south and west of the park, getting to a class after work or a weekend park visit is an easy, traffic-light kind of trip rather than a freeway commute.
Your first class is free — come in, watch or roll, and decide with zero pressure. Because we're a no-gi academy, there's no gi to buy, which saves you the usual startup cost. After that, one membership covers every class on the schedule — kids, beginner, adult and competition — so you're never paying extra to add more mat time.
We train people from across central and north Fullerton, including Downtown Fullerton just south of the park, the Cal State Fullerton area to the east, and the Raymond Hills neighborhood nearby. Wherever you are in the area, the academy on Euclid St is a short surface-street drive.
