I can't even begin to say how awesome it is to train at Darcio Lira. As an actively training BJJ blue belt, I was invited to train under Sensei Lira and I was just blown away by his wisdom and prospered my training under his tutelage. The people and students training at Darcio Lira are really friendly and welcoming. Everyone enjoys training together as we constantly encourage each other to push beyond our limits to become better. If you're an adult actively training or beginning in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place to elevate your game to the next level. If you're a parent; honor, integrity, discipline and personal growth comes to your child.
Everyone is so friendly and inviting. I love the variety of people (men and women) and classes they have. I go to the gi and no gi jiu jitsu class, and the cardio kickboxing class. I have been training here for almost 5 years and as a girl starting jiu jitsu i was a little nervous, but even on my first jiu jitsu class I felt like I already fit it with everyone. Everyone here is very supportive and encouraging inside and outside of the gym. It really does become like a second family!
Darcio Lira is the best place for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the entire Bay Area. Shihan Darlynson, Sensei Dani, and Sensei Ritchie are amazing Jiu Jitsu Instructors but also amazing people. I have been training with my kids (girl 8, boy 16) for a couple years now, and I couldn't imagine our lives without the academy. Jiu Jitsu has had a profound impact on my kids - they are more confident, disciplined, happy and have made lifelong friends on their Jiu Jitsu journeys so far. Just sign up already! Oss!
Started taking my son here from another gym after a free trial class. Sensei Darlynson is very enthusiastic and passionate about training Jiu-Jitsu. I like the structure and respect he holds himself and the gym to. My son got into Competition BJJ so i looked for a gym to support that aspect for him. The high level of trainning Sensei provides, is what made me move my son here and he really enjoys it. I would highly recommend this gym for your kids or for an adult wanting to learn. It's a great environment to learn BJJ and the other opportunities they provide.
My kids started coming to this place in 2017. They were nervous at first but the sensei was very patient and calming. We were encouraged to come back again for their 2nd free class. After their second class we decided to sign them up and they have been enjoying the classes ever since. This school has helped boost the kids confidence and self esteem so much. The atmosphere is family oriented, which is another plus. I myself joined about a year later and still continue to train. We train together which has been a great bonding experience. I can’t recommend this school enough. OSS
I stopped by because I met some wonderful ladies who trained here at a jiujitsu camp. I was wowed by how knowledgeable the head instructor was. He was super technical and detailed and explained the moves super clearly. Each move he taught added upon each other making it easy to absorb and learn. Most importantly, he was super warm and welcoming, asking me how I started my journey and educating me on the history and traditions of the art. I learned so much and will definitely be back.
