Ralph Gracie Jiu Jitsu - Santa Clara

“I've had the pleasure of knowing Dorian for years and was excited finding out he opened his own Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym in the south bay. Even further, he invited me out to train and meet his students. The academy is top notch and has a great vibe with a friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend training here if you're new or experienced with training BJJ!”

“They run a solid school with knowledgeable coaching staff. The kids classes have coaches who are skilled and keep it fun. You don't have to have any prior experience to have fun.”

“Both of my daughters (6 & 8) have been training here for almost a month now. It’s been fantastic. The coaches/staff are professional, knowledgeable and they really care. The class times are convenient and the cost seems fair and comparable to other places.”

“Been training at Ralph Gracie in the South Bay for about 2 years now, my training partners are awesome. These guys and girls train hard, but are respectful and eager to teach newer members. The instructors are great and really want the best for their students.”

“My 11yo son has been coming to this dojo for over a year, and the instruction and class atmosphere has been pretty darn good throughout that time. I've had a chance to watch instructors coaching kids in multiple bjj dojos, wrestling, kickboxing and parkour, so I feel confident in my assessment at this point. The coaches are patient with slow, new or uncertain kids and are likewise able to effectively coach kids/youth who want to compete. In terms of imparting the right lessons to the youngsters about learning the discipline vs. winning,  and about competing vs. how to be a good partner, they get pretty much all of it right. Don N.”
