I started coming to Warrior six months ago because I promised myself that I would get into a regular exercise habit before I hit 40. I hadn’t exercised consistently in about five years—thanks to the pandemic, having two babies, work, and, honestly, just life. Every time I thought about getting back into a routine, the idea of going to the gym or getting on the Peleton bike felt like this huge mental hurdle. I needed something different- something that didn’t feel like a chore and that fit my schedule. I was definitely intimidated at first. As a woman, the idea of doing something so physical, especially in a mostly male environment, was way outside my comfort zone. But from the first class, the vibe was super welcoming and low-pressure. The coaches are great at meeting you where you're at, and there’s a real focus on learning, safety, and building confidence at your own pace. And the best part? It’s actually fun and meeting people I normally would not meet has been exciting. Every class challenges me, but in the best way. I’m getting stronger, I’m learning new skills, and I’m doing something just for me—which is rare when you're a mom juggling kids and work. If you’re someone who’s been out of the game for a while, or if the idea of walking into a gym makes you cringe, I seriously recommend giving this a try. You don’t have to be in shape. You don’t have to know what you’re doing. Just show up. I did—and I’m so glad I took that first step.

I have been training at Warrior Jiu Jitsu Castro Valley for about 6 months, with prior experiences (very much on and off) for about 8 years and at four different gyms; switching due to relocation the first three times, and this last time due to life events and having Warrior's schedule being one of the only local gyms that I was able to make work, in order to get back on the mats. I can only speak to the morning classes as I have yet to attend an evening class. I knew the type of gym I wanted for the type of training that I do: Safe, fun, technical, and one that did not have funnels to extract every dollar out of you. There are no paid belt tests. There are no required branded uniforms. There are no set franchise curriculum or contracts. Warrior Jiu Jitsu nurtures world class, medal-winning, athletes in a relaxed and welcoming environment for people of all ages, as well to those who train for different reasons. The classes are diverse of age, gender, ethnicity, of varying belt ranks, which is a big green flag. Bonus: plenty of parking

Have been training at Warrior for 2 years, and prior to that I trained at 2 other gyms. Amazing place to train and everyone truly cares about one another. I highly recommend if you are thinking about trying out a class. Jorge & Chris care about your development and have fantastic knowledge.

I took two drop in classes this week and received a warm reception from instructors and students. The facility is large and clean, the instructors provide useful performance feedback, and there is plenty of rolling time provided. It's a great place to train!!!

Had a great drop-in class at Warrior BJJ in Castro Valley. Jorge treated me as if I was one of his own students. Amazing attention to details and technique. Back to back rolling session. I appreciate you for pushing me. I’ll definitely need to stop by again. 🙏🏿 for having me.

As someone that comes from another gym in SoCal, it is easy for my to say that this is the best place to come train within the East Bay Area. The techniques that Professor Jorge and his instructors teach with so much patience and attention to detail have lead me to win medals at many of my tournaments. The gym has more than enough space to roll and is always clean and properly maintained and the atmosphere is always very welcoming!!

I’ve been coming here for about 3 months now and have had a great experience! The coach really does care about how well you do in each class and makes you feel motivated to keep coming back. Everyone is super welcoming and kind! Definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in beginning bjj because they are very understanding and are willing to help you even after the class is over.

Had the pleasure of rolling at Warrior BJJ when visiting from out of town. Could not have asked for a more welcoming group of people! I will definitely be dropping back in with my family when ever we are in town. If you are looking to get into BJJ, Warrior BJJ is definitely a place I would strongly recommend! Clean mats, good vibes and a great location🤙🏾

Thus was the 1st time I have observed my grandchild in class, so it is hard to my an evaluation. But as far as I can see, the do a good job of teaching the kids how to make & break holds. Of course, I am just looking at kids ranging from age 6 to teens knowing they have little experience.

Don't enroll your children here, because they will be traumatized. The teachers are not professionals.

I do not recommend this place and do not enroll your child in this academy, you will be paying for an older child with a lot of experience to beat up your child, my daughter barely had 5 classes with them and he made her fight with a girl who is the daughter of a teacher and has been practicing for a long time, and the teacher did nothing to stop the fight and by the way when the time was up the teacher told my daughter that it was a real fight, in other words he let my daughter fight a real fight without any training with a much older girl and with a lot of training, they are not professionals at all to do that, my daughter left the class crying traumatized, that is why I tell you not to take your child here because they will traumatize him. Also during the fight the teacher was half happy and excited to see the scene because his daughter was hitting my daughter and he couldn’t stop the fight… please be careful.

Terrible for adult beginners. No beginner specific program offering. Owner conveyed "sink-or-swim" mentality, which honestly is very old school and frankly dangerous for both beginning and other students new to the school. Beginners should be carefully taught the basics for the protection of all parties. I have since joined a well established and well known BJJ school that has incredible dedicated programs for all.. This guy was more interested in getting my CC info than finding out if this was the right fit. It's definitely not for everyone...DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!
