"Ralph Gracie Richmond is the best gym in the Bay Area, the real Jiu-Jitsu coming from the Gracie family! If you are looking for a gym to train Jiu Jitsu, you have just found it. Igor is an excellent teacher, very patient and with incredible teaching skills and the gym is super clean and organized! I highly recommend him."
"My grandson has been at the academy since he was four years old, he is nine now. He has made a lot of personal growth through his experience here. Respect, discipline, consistency and being a part of a community are all things that he has learned and experienced here. My granddaughter has been at the academy since she was four years old, she is now six. She has taken to the structure and discipline at the academy. Her progress with confidence, strength and technique has been amazing! She will be participating in her first competition in the near future. The families who come here are kind and many are actively participating in Juijitsu as a family. There is a very supportive and inclusive atmosphere here. Martha S."
