Having finished my time in the bay area and now training at a new gym closer to home, it's my pleasure to give my highest praises possible for this academy. For the year and a half that I spent at Mineiro BJJ, I've come to appreciate the art of BJJ and become a better competitor in the process. I came to this academy with some of my friends while in college, and with no experience in martial arts at all, I took a trial class and signed up hoping to pick up a fun hobby. From the start, the head coaches, Marcelo and his wife, Liz, presented an environment that was welcoming, engaging, and educational. With some of the most straightforward and no-nonsense approaches to instruction I've seen in a teaching environment, it truly felt like I was always focused on improving my BJJ game and not on the teaching style or nuances of the gym; a trait that was incredibly helpful for someone who had no experience in this kind of environment beforehand
I can't say enough great things about Mineiro Jiu Jitsu. Mineiro and Elizabeth are truly exceptional coaches and teachers. Their dedication and passion for Jiu Jitsu are evident in everything they do. I've been training with Mineiro for over seven years, and his technical knowledge and attention to detail are unparalleled. He’s always there when I need him, offering guidance and support both on and off the mat. Mineiro's commitment to his students is remarkable; he attends every tournament to support us, providing encouragement and expert coaching. The facility itself is clean, beautiful, and well-maintained, creating an inviting atmosphere for training. They also have an excellent kids' program, which is a testament to their dedication to fostering a love for Jiu Jitsu in the next generation. The kids' classes are engaging and fun, promoting self-defense skills and fitness in a supportive environment. Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic sport for
Here is what you get when you train with Mineiro/Liz : - Quality instruction: You can learn an amrbar or lasso sweeps from any blackbelt, it is that little details that matters! You learn excellent details from both Mineiro and Liz … The part that I personally pay attention to is that Liz is a smaller grappler and she teaches some specific details slightly different than Mineiro! You have a chance to see and compare what works better for a smaller grappler and use that to improve your game! - Individual attention: you get a chance to ask question! No matter what color of belt you have! The gym is not too big and not too small, so you can always ask during or after class! I have trained in places where the answer to a question was to get private class with the instructor, you won’t be treated like that with Mineiro/Liz! They are always open to questions after the class, and I am sure if you want private class, they are available - Colore

Family friendly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym with rigorous training and skilled competitors. Very welcoming gym for women with a Friday evening women’s class. Love Professors Mineiro and Liz for their technical skill and fun approach to each class. Whole family has been training with them for 2 years. The community here is everything.
I had a great experience here at Mineiro - Jiu Jitsu. I booked a free trail and was nervous at first, but instantly was greeted with such kind people. I tried out the Women's Jiu Jitsu class and Professor Liz is the best! She is super nice and helps you understand the concepts thoroughly. Everyone is super nice and genuine. The environment is clean and well maintained, plus you're greeted with two super cute and friendly dogs : ). Overall, I recommend this place if you want to be part of a community that strives to learn and improve their skills. Thank you!
