Phenom Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Phenom Brazilian Jiu Jitsu operates at 16782 Von Karman Avenue, Unit 22 in Irvine, California. Established in 2014, the academy is founded and directed by Head Instructor Professor Martin Morachimo, who brings over 24 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience. Morachimo began his training under Roger Machado in 2000, later trained under Romulo Barral, won the 2011 Pan American Championship at brown belt, and served as head instructor at Gracie Barra Santa Ana prior to founding Phenom. The modern academy features an air-conditioned training area equipped with shock-absorbing mats, locker rooms, and showers. Programs include Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for ages 15 and up, Phenom Muay Thai striking classes, and structured Kids Jiu-Jitsu divided into distinct age groups spanning ages 4 to 5, 6 to 7, and 8 to 14. Instruction centers on leverage, timing, and positional hierarchy, encouraging students to master techniques before relying on physical force.
