Caio Terra Academy

"I had an amazing experience at Caio Terra Academy! Grateful to Don and the rest of the team for their hospitality in letting me drop in while I was in town. The coaches were knowledgeable, the facility is top-notch, and the training environment extremely welcoming. Five stars for a memorable and positive experience and I will be stopping in to roll anytime I am in town."

"Best place to train in the Bay Area. Caio is a wizard and a visionary and Nick runs a tight ship. Great for beginners, complete noobs and world class jiu jitsu players alike. Very welcoming gym that caters to all skill levels. Caio really cares about your progress as a student. I am always amazed at his ability to remembers your name, even if he’s only spoken to you once or twice. Clean and modern facilities. Bring back the Kombucha tap!"

"This review is for the Kids Jiu Jitsu and CT FIT classes. The review is long overdue and if I could rate this place 10 stars, I would. My son started Jiu Jitsu here 4 years ago when he was 4 years old. At the time, I didn’t know anything about the sport. Instead I was just looking for an exhausting activity for him in a fun, safe environment. CTA was the perfect fit. The coaches here are passionate about the sport and have lots of experience to share with their students. Jiu Jitsu has been amazing for my son. First, classes are such confidence boosters - which make him an undesirable target for bullies anywhere. Second, post pandemic, a lot of kids need some help with social emotional development. This place hits the spot. The classes have an excellent mix of ages and skill levels, and everyone is learning how to interact respectfully. Third, the coaches foster an environment of belonging and friendly competition. The reward is learning a new skill/technique and growing as a person not the color of your belt. Now, one of my absolute favorite things is CT FIT. The scheduling is perfect for parents having their kids in Jiu Jitsu because the CT FIT classes are at the same time!! They also offer morning classes on most days. The equipment is top notch and the coaches are committed and professional. Taking these classes has been instrumental in my recovery from injuries. The coaches have been nothing but supportive and helping me adjust the workouts to my level. Although I have seen a bunch of gyms and trainers in the past, nothing compares to CT FIT. I enjoy the small group training atmosphere with students of all ages and abilities. It’s super!"

"The BJJ journey is one that is as individual as the practitioner. It is amazing to have a team of peers as well as coaches so engaged to help make that journey take the route you want and are willing to work towards. This can only be accomplished by having a leader at the top creating such an inclusive culture. One Team, One Family!"

The curriculum is well-structured, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. Furthermore, the camaraderie among the students is outstanding. You'll find a supportive and friendly community that motivates you to push your boundaries and reach your full potential. I can confidently say that Caio Terra BJJ deserves a solid 5-star rating for their commitment to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the development of their students.
