Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu

“I've trained there for about 3 years now. I used to live in concord, and this was the closest gym for jiu-jitsu. On top of that, it's Cesar Gracie, so you know it's legit. Of course, when I first started, I was a bit nervous about how the guys would treat me. But that quickly went away as everyone was very nice and supportive - always happy to show you a move or give advice to get better. I've moved to Fairfield, so now the gym is a bit out of the way, but it's my home now and the only place I want to train. I really appreciate the coaches and my training partners. Guga runs the adult classes and he is top-notch. He's very calm and knowledgeable and just a very good guy to learn from. He still competes and is a champion in an organization called fight 2 win. I got to see him win the belt, which was fun. Cam runs the kids classes. I don't think there is anyone better to coach kids than him. He is hilarious and knows how to talk to kids to motivate them to be better. I know I wrote a lot. So I'll finish with something simple. If you or your kids want to be in better shape, like a challenge, and want to know you can defend yourself if something goes down, this is the place you need to be.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joining this academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made! From day one, I felt welcomed into a positive, respectful, and hardworking environment. Cameron and Guga are truly outstanding instructors—knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They take the time to help each student grow, whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner. What really sets this place apart is the culture. It’s not just about technique (which they teach exceptionally well), but about building confidence, discipline, and community. Every class is well-structured, and you always leave feeling like you've learned something valuable. Cameron and Guga foster an atmosphere where everyone supports one another, and that’s rare to find. I’ve grown so much since joining—physically and mentally—and I look forward to every training session. If you're considering starting BJJ or looking for a new academy, this is the place. It’s more than a gym—it’s a second family. Thank you, Cameron and Guga, for everything you do! Jean Perez”

“I am sad to leave this review but I signed up my daughter at the end of September in hopes of enrolling her on a trial basis. I told them I did not want to continue after attending for a month because my daughter is too young and not really learning. They agreed and said she should come back. I absolutely intended on re enrolling her. Then I noticed on my CC statement a reoccurring charge and when I called Lisa told me she would reimburse me but has yet to reimburse me. This is a terrible unethical practice.”

“Extremely welcoming. Very technical students. I would be good at Juijitsu if I lived here and could train here. Thanks for letting me drop in and roll with y’all! 🙏🏻”

“I’ve been training at Gracie Fighter for 6 months and cannot recommend it enough. Everyone there has been incredibly welcoming and Coach Guga is an amazing teacher. He has an amazing ability to break things down so beginners can easily understand and advanced students can grow. On top of learning new skills it’s a great workout.”
