If you’re reading this you probably have a lot of questions about IF you or child should do this, and WHERE you should learn. Two quick stories. I’ll start with a quick story about how we started to even consider jiu jitsu for our child. Our friend told us how much she loved San Francisco and how she and her husband were committed to raising their kids here, but the reality is living in any big city sometimes has its challenges, and she always wanted her children to be able to defend themselves if they need to, which makes a lot of sense and is practical. She also dropped that she viewed self defense as rape prevention for her now teen. When her teenager was asked if she’d be ok, walking by herself through a particular neighborhood, her response was confident, and something along the lines of “I can choke someone out in 20 seconds.” Hilarious and the kind of confidence a kid who grows up in a city should have. That got us to enroll our
I started at Sunset Jiu Jitsu about 4 months ago never having tried a martial art before and if I had one piece of advice to give to anyone who is slightly interested in giving it a shot, I'd say just now. I thought about training jiu jitsu for over a year before I finally started, and my only regret is not starting sooner. Renan Silva and Rhalan Gracie have both been incredibly supportive and welcoming to me and have created an environment that encourages and rewards progress and personal growth. Everyone who trains at Sunset Jiu Jitsu genuinely want you to get better and to better themselves. Ego is checked at the door and friendships are formed on the mat. Whether you're trying to find a strong community, increase your mental and physical fortitude, or explore a new art from Sunset Jiu Jitsu is the place to train. I can't recommend this gym enough.
I’m a BJJ black belt and instructor, and I’ve trained all over the world—Ralph Gracie Sunset stands out for its welcoming culture, high-level instruction, and inclusive environment, especially for adult women and beginners. The head instructor did an amazing job working with a brand-new student, scaling the lesson to their comfort and skill level while still imparting key BJJ concepts & movements. The techniques taught during lessons are effective and efficient; the details that get highlighted during make the “invisible BJJ” clear and more accessible. Most importantly, as a smaller female, I felt safe, respected, and fully welcomed during live training/sparring. If you’re new to BJJ or looking for a solid, female-friendly school in San Francisco, this is the spot. (Plus there's easy parking and a Bay Wheels station nearby.) Highly recommend!
Super excited to call Ralph Gracie Sunset Jiu Jitsu my new home away from home. It's the same great community and coaches (led by Coach Renan), this time with a significantly larger space than Sunset Jiu Jitsu (the previous space). This is a wonderful place to learn and train jiu jitsu for beginners and seasoned vets alike - it's easy to figure out how friendly and welcoming the community is!
I moved to the Sunset about 7months ago and decided to try a new sport - so i gave Ralph Gracie Sunset Jiu Jitsu a go. I'm so glad I did. From students to instructors, the gym has such an excellent, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Instructors Renan, Rhalan, and Ralston are fantastic - they are very kind and patient, and are excellent at guiding complete beginners such as me through the motions. I can't thank them enough. This is my first martial art, and I'm totally invested now. I'd highly recommend BJJ to anyone considering a new sport/ martial art/ just looking for a great way to exercise. All skill levels and fitness levels are well represented here. Just give it a shot!
My two kids train at Ralph Gracie Sunset Jiu Jitsu and we couldn’t be happier. My 4-year-old daughter loves the classes, and my 5-year-old son, who is on the autism spectrum, has been welcomed with so much patience and care. The coaches, especially Coach Renan, create a safe, and encouraging environment. Highly recommend for any family looking for a place where kids can grow, learn, and feel supported.
