JG ACADEMY - LOS ALTOS

"The coaches are amazing!!! They know so much and make things easy to understand. Even if something's new to me, they explain it in a way that makes sense. Plus, they're really friendly and always ready to help. The people I train with are super nice too. Everyone is helpful and they make training fun. We all work together, and they've taught me a lot. It's not just about learning from the coaches - the other students have given me great tips and advice. What's really cool is how everyone is welcome here, no matter how much Jiu-Jitsu you know. Whether you're just starting out or you've been doing it for a while, you'll fit right in. I'm so glad I found JG Academy."

"Awesome culture, Sang is extremely nice and helpful. I would highly recommend if you're interesting in learning BJJ!"

"JG Academy is awesome! The instructor Sang is super welcoming and approachable and really knows his stuff. I felt really welcome from the first day and I always feel comfortable to ask any questions. Sang really explains WHY we do certain techniques and the motivation behind it, which really helps you understand the nuances of each position rather than just drilling for the sake of it. Great training partners who will push you and give you a hard roll, but are never out to hurt you. The higher belts also know how to take it easy on lower belts when they need to. Highly recommend"

"I started my jiu jitsu journey here in my 30s and have been doing it for 6 months. I checked out other gyms in the area and settled with this one, reasons below: - INJURY PREVENTION These people really take injury prevention seriously by putting in rules in rolling. Instructors usually do not roll and instead watch. I've never felt unsafe, in fact I've seen preventative measures employed. -HYGIENE As soon as something about staph and fungal infections was brought up, these folks added wipes and ventilation, they also verbally constantly remind new folks of good practices. - INSTRUCTION Instructors here are all great, very clear and welcome questions. Sometimes we have very cool guest instructors and also hosted seminars. -ORGANIZATION They have a WhatsApp group and insta where you always can ask questions to anyone and know whether class is happening on a holiday. I found this gym to be a community. People are so welcoming. Good mix of all belt levels and you get a lot of help. Kids classes also look really fun as an activity for development. I don't know how it would be if you're a world level athlete looking for super intense high level sparring to the death ;P but for a regular person, I really recommend this place."

"The JG Academy Los Altos is an amazing gym to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Bay Area. Top tier instructors and training partners. They offer morning, noon, afternoon, and weekend classes. If you are on the fence, definitely come by and drop in for a class!"
