"Highly recommend Krossface Jiu Jitsu which opens soon in El Sobrante! Baldwin is a super technical bjj practitioner - his teaching style is great for breaking down complex concepts into bite sized pieces that isn't very overwhelming. I’ve been training with Baldwin for 5 years now and my game has gotten so much better with his help. If you’re a beginner or seasoned athlete who wants to level up quick, train here! He’s coached me through some tough competitions with success. Good vibes at Krossface Jiu Jitsu all around. They also offer great kids / youth classes too if you want to intro your kid to martial arts! Perfect for the whole family honestly. Also super close to Pinole / Hercules area! Check out Krossface Jiu Jitsu - you won’t regret it :)"
"Super stoked for Baldwin to be opening his own gym! Met Baldwin through a teammate while he was visiting Honolulu. And let me tell you, you better bring your A-game at all times. Super sharp technique and competitive rolls. He's also super down-to-earth, approachable and an overall nice guy. Baldwin is also a tried and true competitor and you can tell by all the competitions he has done. It would be so dope to be a part of a gym like this with a head instructor of his caliber. Looking forward to dropping in when I'm back in the bay. Ossssss!"
"Baldwin brings exactly the kind of energy you want in a jiu-jitsu gym—positive, focused, and community-driven. The vibe here is unmatched. From day one, it’s been clear this place is built on respect, hard work, and a real passion for the art. The culture reflects Baldwin’s leadership: welcoming to beginners, challenging for experienced grapplers, and always centered on growth. You won’t find egos here—just good people pushing each other to get better, on and off the mats. If you’re looking for a place to train, learn, and be part of something meaningful, this is the gym. Grateful to have a space like this in our community."
"Baldwin is a high-level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt competitor. He is known for his sharp, precise, and highly effective technique. He is dedicated to fostering a culture that allows practitioners of all skill levels to reach their full potential. Baldwin's teaching style is engaging, interactive, and easy to understand. He is a hands-on coach. At Krossface Jiu-jitsu, everyone has a place, whether you're looking to compete, learn self-defense, or get in shape. I highly recommend."
