Wonderful school and great atmosphere! As a new comer and a woman, I was beyond pleasantly surprised at how welcoming, respectful, supportive and patient the instructor, Jesse and all of the other students are. This was the best experience. If you have been practicing for years or if this is your first time trying, Necalli Jiu-Jitsu will help you on your BJJ journey. I have experienced other places because my Son did participate in the art when he was younger and I never felt comfortable when I considered joining. Walking into this location I felt more than comfortable enough to start and am grateful for the experience. Thank you 🙏

As a first-timer to jiu jitsu, I couldn’t have found a better place to start than Necalli Jiu Jitsu! I’ve been training here for the past 4 months, and the experience has been incredible. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and perfect for beginners. The team genuinely cares about your growth, and you never feel out of place—no matter your skill level. Coach Jesse is an outstanding instructor with over 20 years of experience. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and has a real passion for teaching. He breaks down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and creates a fun, motivating space to learn and improve. If you’re thinking about trying jiu jitsu or looking for a new gym, I highly recommend Necalli Jiu Jitsu!

I have been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the last 14 years. I have trained in 4 different dojos and have dropped in at almost all the dojos in the Bay Area. Necali is a fantastic dojo. Jason's owner/primary instructor breaks the techniques into more manageable pieces. Learning jujitsu can be easy for a few, but it’s difficult for most. If you have never done jujitsu, this is the best place to go. You will not be disappointed at all. The school is located in an area where parking is always available and stores and restaurants are nearby.

I started attending kickboxing on Thursdays through a friendly referral. Classes at Necalli are VERY affordable and the instructor Sarija is the best. In going to kickboxing, Jesse’s gym intrigued us to begin classes with him at Necalli. I noticed a private father son lesson Jesse was instructing. After speaking with Jesse I was encouraged to attend with the family. Our family started attending both the kickboxing classes and taking advantage of the Jiu-Jitsui classes. What we love about Necalli is Jesses place caters to EVERYONE. My 13 year old daughter, my husband and I are able to attend as a family. This is a great spot not just because it is affordable but kickboxing opened the door for us to begin Jui-jitsu and both activities have been a great ongoing experience. We are grateful to learn this new art of self defense (new to us) and teach our 13 year old daughter life skills.
