"Outstanding Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training from Ex MMA fighter and Second Degree Black Belt, Marcio Moreira. Located in 3170-A Santa Rita Road Pleasanton. Largest mat space in the East Bay! World class training for young and experienced athletes. Excellent instruction for children (ages 3-9) and (9 to 16). Adult classes are divided between beginner (white belt less than one year, and advanced blue belt to brown belt). There are five brown belts, who have found the advanced training and mentorship important for the pursuit of the hard to achieve Black Belt. Master Ralph Gracie's system of highly trained professionals will help start your journey or will continue your quest for mastery of this martial art! Muay Thai kickboxing classes on Monday and Friday evenings (7:30 pm) check website for times. No Gi training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wednesday evenings, they feature a women only training."
"I trained at four different gyms now. Fabio Leopoldo in Ventura California. Jean-Jacques in Tarzana. And two different gyms in Fremont. This is one of the best I've ever trained. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The training is world-class. The facility is very clean. You train 7 days a week. Most gym only offer 4-5 days a week. honestly I feel very lucky that I found this gym."
"The best gym I’ve ever been apart of. The family atmosphere here is next to non, the coaches are world class, and each and every student helps each other progress and shares their knowledge with others. I come here every day and could not imagine ever going to another gym. If you want to learn martial arts look no further because Ralph Gracie Pleasanton and Marcio are the best in the business"
"I was in the area for work and saw this dojo was located near my hotel. When I called to get information about cost and class schedules, Alex was extremely helpful and very professional. I decided to give their 3 day drop in class a try. I am glad I did. This was some great training! Since I stepped in the door, everyone was very welcoming. The professors are great instructors and the other students make you feel like you have been part of the team forever. Thanks!"
