Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

"Both our kids (with wildly different personalities and attention spans) love it! Can't wait for our youngest to be old enough to join. Kids don't just learn jiu jitsu, they learn about body control, respect, friendship, discipline and so many other important things. The coaches are awesome and the environment is safe, welcoming, and family friendly. Adult classes are top notch too."

"I've been to a several local Jiu Jitsu academies and this one is by far the best for both kids and adults. Both Chris and Andre are technical experts and great teachers. If you've never tried jiu jitsu, this is the place to start. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming."

"We have been to several Jijitsu schools. I feel like many schools push the kids too hard and put too much pressure on them, causing the kids, not to like Jijitsu and quit. It has to be fun or the kids will quit. Charles Gracie Jijitsu of Fremont and Livermore are one of the best, and they keep it fun and teach well. Coach Chris in Fremont and coach Riury of of Livermore work very well with kids and teach very good precise technical techniques, for self defense. They keep it fun. It is also nice that you can go to any of their Charles Gracie schools"

"This is an awesome place. My daughter has been studying jiu jitsu under coach Chris for almost two years now. The coach and the assistant coaches are awesome. They are incredibly friendly with kids and at the same time instill some discipline as well. They provide personal attention to kids and they talk to kids, motivating them and keeping it playful at the same time."

"My kids started with coach Chris in Tracy more than 2 years ago and we were very excited when we found out that he opened his own academy. He is an amazing teacher and he truly has a gift to work with kids - and not only. My husband started jiu jitsu with him and he is in the best shape of his life. We came to Fremont couple times now to train with Chris and we love his new location. Introducing BJJ to our family was one of the best things we've done. We totally recommend it!"
