My husband and children started their journeys here over a year ago and this place has done nothing but good things for our family. Very glad we listened to recommendations to give Claudio Franca BJJ a try. Wonderful instructors and leadership in both the kids and adult classes (and Ameia is so kind and helpful); awesome community of both students and family. None of that crazy aggressive/competitive mean spirited stuff—it’s a solid, positive community where everyone wants to see each other at their best. Highly recommend!

Best BJJ dojo ever! Family owned and operated truly a high level athletic experience. Claudio and Kim invited me to bring my yoga practice into the dojo to help the athletes.

I came to Claudio's with a background mainly in Muay Thai and some MMA training, but with a desperate need for improvement of my ground game. I have now been there for a few years and can say it's one of the best gyms I have belonged to. With locations in Watsonville and San Jose, I can train no matter where my work takes me in the area since I am an over the hill commuter. The kids classes are always fun with plenty of younger kids and pre teens. The morning classes are usually a little smaller which is great for some personal attention. The night classes and Saturday AM are much larger and generally a bit more competitive. Tons of competitors and a few pro's. Overall great atmosphere and highly recommended.
