I’m so glad I found Charles Gracie Academy. We moved to Livermore in August of 2024, and I signed my daughter up for Jiu-Jitsu classes shortly after. When I learned they had family plans, I signed myself up as well. What I was expecting when I enrolled my daughter was just an extracurricular activity to fulfill her need to move (and because she wanted to be like the Ninja Turtles). But what we’ve gotten back has been so much more. I’ve lost three pants sizes, for starters!! And I’ve also gained improved self-esteem, better focus, confidence in defending myself in shifty situations, a shared activity my daughter and I can practice at home together, and a passion I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. The list goes on and on — but most of all, it’s the camaraderie. In so many ways, I feel like I found my second home when I started training. Everyone is so friendly and patient as I learn, and I’ve met some truly awesome new friends. T

The moment you step foot in the academy, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The instruction from Coaches Riury, Igor, Chris, and Adrian is top-notch. They are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, breaking down techniques in a clear and concise manner. Their passion for Jiu-Jitsu is contagious and motivates you to push yourself to new limits. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this academy has something to offer everyone. It’s the perfect place to learn self-defense, improve your fitness, and make lifelong friends. I highly recommend Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy to anyone looking to start or continue their Jiu-Jitsu journey.
We came across this fantastic academy 7 years ago when we decided that we wanted our daughter to train in a martial art specific for self-defense. We started her at the age of four. Soon after, my husband began training, followed by our son, and more recently myself. The coaches and professors are outstanding, and they are amazing with the kids. The investment that we have made for our family, including numerous private sessions, really speaks to how much we love being a part of this community. My husband and I both started our Jiu Jitsu journeys in our 40s. As a woman I know it can be intimidating and awkward. I am grateful for the female presence we have and are continuing to build. It’s so important to me to be a role model for both my kids, but especially my daughter. Everyone has always been very supportive,respectful, and welcoming. I have been training a little over a year now and feel very comfortable with sometimes being the on
I have been training at Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for almost 3 years now (with a short covid break in there). Before I started I was a little overweight and out of shape and I knew I had to do something so I wouldn’t get out of breath and tired playing with kids. My friend who was already training at Charles Gracie convinced me to come in and try a trial class. I was kind of nervous because I had never been in any kind of martial arts class before but everyone in that class was super supportive and really made me feel welcome. Now almost 3 years later I’m down about 50 pounds and have more energy in my 40’s than I did in my 30’s!! I feel very fortunate to have found such an awesome place to learn Jiu-Jitsu and a great group of people to train with! If you are considering trying Jiu-Jitsu I would highly recommend coming to Charles Gracie
Probably one of the best decisions I have made as a parent is to put my daughter in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the young age of 5. I can't say enough great things about Charles, Ruiry and the coaches at the Livermore and Tracy locations. They really care about each students' BJJ journey and know all the kids by name. If you seen the amount of kids in the classes you would know that's an accomplishment in itself. After 1.5 years of training, my daughter's confidence in herself has grown tremendously and the best part, she's extremely physically fit from her training. The techniques taught are applicable to real world situation and the kids learn respect and discipline. This is a great investment in my childrens' future.
My husband, son and I have been training for a little over four years. My husband wanted us to start training and choose CharliesGracie because he knew I would feel the most comfortable here. As a female it is intimidating to train with men of all ages and even more so as you progress. The professors (coaches) and all that train are incredible! I couldn’t ask for a better group. EVERYONE makes you feel welcome, wanted and ready to support. It is more than a gym where you go to train, it is a village, a way of life. The surrounding CharliesGracie Academies also promote this village atmosphere and have become a family. The women are very support of one another, and the guys are just as encouraging. If you are interested in a great workout, building your self defense and ready for a village please come see me on the mats!
