I can’t say enough about the incredible impact that Dory and Melana are having on their clients in their world-class Jiu-Jitsu program. These instructors bring a level of expertise and passion thats unmatched. Dory and Melana are not only world-class competitors but also the best mentors who understand how bjj. They instill discipline, confidence, and a mindset focused on growth, both on and off the mats. The kids become more resilient, focused, and self-assured, thanks to their thoughtful coaching and positive encouragement. What makes Dory and Melana stand out is their genuine care for each student. They are patient, inspiring, and have an incredible ability to connect with kids, making each class I watched engaging and life-changing. If you’re looking for a program that builds champions in both character and skill, this is the place to be in Garden Grove.

My kids first started training with Dory & Malena back in April 2024. Consistently for about 5 months and immediately started seeing improvements. My kids love the environment and are excited to go back every time. Hands down one of the besj BJJ / Grappling academies out. Both Dory & Malena’s accolades speak for itself + they are awesome human beings!
Recommend for beginners or advanced.

Where it all started

Daoun Jiu Jitsu began in the family room of our home with a simple goal: to build a place where people could learn, grow, and feel like family. For our first year, we welcomed students into our home, creating unforgettable memories and laying the foundation for the community we have today. These photos capture the humble beginnings of our journey and remind us that every great academy starts with a dream, hard work, and the people who believed in it.
