UCLA has a rich and exciting history in its Martial Arts Program. From demonstrations on campus by Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto in the 1960's to the first ever North American Rickson Gracie tournament in the 1990's and more recently seminars with BJJ legend Jean Jacques Machado, Olympic Wrestler Kenny Johnson and Savate French Cup Champion Nicolas Saignac. UCLA's location in Los Angeles presents unique opportunities for martial artists to train at one of the country's most diverse Martial Arts programs. Because of its location and ties to the movie industry Los Angeles is widely considered a global hub of Martial Arts with world famous instructors teaching and world class tournaments being held there on a regular basis.
