Our son has been attending the Charles Gracie Academy in Livermore for the past 2-1/2 years. We cannot express how happy we are with the Coaches and friends that he has made during this time. The training is amazing and the confidence that my son walks out of class with is so great to see. Coach Igor, Coach Chris and Coach Adrian are encouraging, welcoming and while they work hard, they have fun with the kids at the same time. I highly recommend Charles Gracie to anybody looking for a great experience in learning Jiu-Jitsu.
An Incredible Jiu-Jitsu Experience
Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Livermore is more than just a gym; it’s a family. 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 only female in the morning; as most of our ladies train at night or the weekend. I’m so grateful that I get to do this, and encourage you to come try their free introduction class!
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
I first pushed the door of the Charles Gracie Academy Livermore almost a year ago. Since day one I got blown away by the amazing atmosphere, expertise and friendship you can find there. The professors and coaches are extremely professional and available. The group of students is composed of different levels, however everyone is there to help and to encourage each other. Almost twelve months later, it is much more than a workout at the gym but a real life changing journey built around strengthening confidence, advanced self-defense techniques and teaming up with an incredible group of people. I only wish I joined the CharlesGracie Academy earlier! Let’s pass by the Academy one of these days, you will discover a new you on the mats!
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!
I highly recommend this academy; I have nothing but great things to say about them. My daughter loves her coaches and is always excited to attend class. I love how enthusiastic she is to tell me all about the new techniques she learns, her confident has soared since she started training. It is also a huge relief knowing that all the coaches and employees have had background checks, so I know my kid is in good hands. We are so happy to be part of the Gracie family!
We Love this Academy! All of the Professors and coaches have been so supportive and accommodating, with quality instruction and attention to fine details. My kids are more confident, show more respect, get good exercise, and have a great time on the mats. Our family couldn’t ask for anything more. 🤙🏽
Incredible group of training partners, clean facilities, and too-notch instruction all run by a family that welcomes you as one of their own. Highly recommended for men, women and kids of all ages. You’ll be a better you.
When I first moved to the area, I searched all the schools for my children to be able to continue Jiu Jitsu and I truly found this to place to be THE BEST! All the coaches are fantastic! Besides being great at instruction, they genuinely care about each and every child. Highly recommended!
Just dropped in for a class while traveling for work and had a great experience. The professor and students were a great group of people and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to grow through BJJ!
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.
