Bay Area Capoeira Jiu Jitsu

“We tried out 4 Jiu Jitsu locations near us and we knew that Bay Area Capoeira Jiu Jitsu was the one. Our kids enjoyed their free trial and Mestre Itabora and Coach Bubba are amazing teachers. They teach with focus and discipline but also introduce a little fun. You can feel the family vibe and how there's community here and we loved that about it. The parents of the kids are so nice and all the kids are respectful of each other. We would highly recommend to everyone.”

“It just takes one class to see that this is an exceptional martial arts academy. Great classes and are unwavering when it comes to safety, respect, and encouragement. The instructors are well seasoned and they have lots to offer. You really feel that this is a special community and there are no egos, just support for one another to be better each day.”

“This Jiu Jitsu/Capoeira gym is a hidden gem in our community. The coaches are passioned about sharing their love for the martial arts, fostering a warm, inclusive environment, making every student feel valued and motivated. Many parents get involved into coaching as well, adding a unique family-like atmosphere. The gym excels not only in martial arts training but also in building a supportive community spirit, especially evident during competitions. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a holistic approach to martial arts and joining a strong friendly community.”

“Mestre Itabora and all the coaches are incredibly skilled and passionate about teaching Jiu Jitsu! They break down techniques clearly, provide personalized feedback, and create a safe space for learning. The students are friendly and everyone is dedicated to help each other grow. I love this small, tight-knit community ”

“Itabora and Chitra are excellent teachers. I have been training Capoeira for over 10 years and I've never had such good instructors before. The group is a fantastic group of people and friends. The academy is absolutely full of love and amazing people.”
