Rated 4.9/5 across 38 Google reviews.

Outstanding Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training from Ex MMA fighter and Second Degree Black Belt, Marcio Moreira. Located in 3170-A Santa Rita Road Pleasanton. Largest mat space in the East Bay! World class training for young and experienced athletes. Excellent instruction for children (ages 3-9) and (9 to 16). Adult classes are divided between beginner (white belt less than one year, and advanced blue belt to brown belt). There are five brown belts, who have found the advanced training and mentorship important for the pursuit of the hard to achieve Black Belt. Master Ralph Gracie's system of highly trained professionals will help start your journey or will continue your quest for mastery of this martial art! Muay Thai kickboxing classes on Monday and Friday evenings (7:30 pm) check website for times. No Gi training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wednesday evenings, they feature a women only training.
I’ve had my introduction and 3 classes so far. If you’re like me and heavier than you like to be all of the instructors are understanding. They will encourage you to work harder while at the same time understanding it’s going to be harder. The instructors are great (looking at you Zack and Sasha!) they give clear instructions and are very willing to explain things a different way to make sure I understand it. They also don’t seem to mind that I ask a million questions during drills. They are very patient when I hit those mental blocks that don’t allow me to even full heatedly try a technique. The owner/operator/head instructor Marcio is an awesome human! He is very kind, accepting, and patient. I’ve visited academies all over the Bay from San Jose to San Francisco. From all brands/names/lineages. I decided on Marcio’s academy because he’s build a place like Cheers. Everyone is friendly and welcoming so far. At the end of the day THATS w
Ralph Gracie Pleasanton is a family oriented gym that offers adult and kid classes. Professor Marcio is a patience and knowledgeable person. He can tailor your training based on your personal goal. Safety and having fun is his priority here. Typical class is 1 hour long but he lets you stays for another 30 mins to work on technique. I train Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu under him for over 6 months now. My two kids also train and love it here. I highly recommended this place.
If your looking for an amazing Brazilian jiu jitsu instructor and friendly place to train, Mr. Marcio Moreira is who you want. I’ve been blessed to train at his academy and I am very pleased. He is a high level, experienced black belt with a wealth of knowledge about mixed martial arts. Adults and children can train in a safe, clean, and inviting gym. He will treat you like family. Check it out and see for yourself. You will be as pleased as I am.
I've trained jui jitsu many years ago. I decided to start back but I wasn't sure where to go. Marcio Moreira head instructor at Ralph Gracie Pleasanton was highly recommended. After training for a month now I couldn't have been happier with my decision. Marcio is a very high level Black belt and a great instructor. All the students I've met are friendly and love jui jitsu as much as I do. If you are looking for a great place to learn and train I highly recommend Ralph Gracie Pleasanton.
Awesome new facility with excellent instructors! My son takes the MMA/kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu classes and really enjoys it. They keep the kids engaged and learning in a safe, fun and structured environment. Professor Marcio gives clear, step-by-step instruction in a calm and respectful manor. Great family environment with zero ego. No place in the tri-valley I would rather train at than Ralph Gracie Pleasanton. Congratulations professor Marcio on the new academy! Oss!
