Ralph Gracie Jiu Jitsu - Santa Clara

"Great training for all levels and high level staff and teachers. Me and my son love it!"

"My 11yo son has been coming to this dojo for over a year, and the instruction and class atmosphere has been pretty darn good throughout that time. I've had a chance to watch instructors coaching kids in multiple bjj dojos, wrestling, kickboxing and parkour, so I feel confident in my assessment at this point. The coaches are patient with slow, new or uncertain kids and are likewise able to effectively coach kids/youth who want to compete. In terms of imparting the right lessons to the youngsters about learning the discipline vs. winning,  and about competing vs. how to be a good partner, they get pretty much all of it right. Don N."

"I just dropped in one Thursday knowing nothing and Dave and Darren dropped everything to start teaching me. Every night since has been more of the same. Everybody in this gym is cheerful and helpful, and I'm just really impressed how patient they have been with me. They don't forget that I just started, they don't take offense when I knee them in the balls or kick them in the face accidentally, they always give me a chance to practice on them before they turn the tables, and they give me tips after every rep or roll. I made a great decision to come here, and I've learned a lot already in one month."

"Been training at Ralph Gracie in the South Bay for about 2 years now, my training partners are awesome. These guys and girls train hard, but are respectful and eager to teach newer members. The instructors are great and really want the best for their students."

"I started with the Ralph Gracie in San Jose last year, and recently, I've been training in the new Santa Clara location. The studio is well-kept and spacious. The coaches are extremely knowledgeful of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the members are all very nice and respectful! I would recommend everyone to try out this academy regardless of experience level."
