I just attended their annual women’s self-defense seminar for the first time. The entire process from registration to completing the two-hour class was very smooth and professional. The facility is very clean. Crosley Gracie’s emphasis is on simple, functional defense based on easily-learned movements rather than complicated techniques.I highly recommend this class to all women, regardless of your athletic ability and physical strength. Thank you for the class, instructors Crosley and Ryan!

This martial arts academy is truly amazing on many levels, not only on a physical level but also life and self defense. Close friends and family of mine including myself have trained and have gotten an all around great experience! I highly recommend training here! Crosley and his expertise and history in training, along with his staff are very knowledgeable and passionate in teaching everyone only the best! The skills taught can be applied to your daily life with health, discipline, respect, hard work, self defense, and much more! Come check them out! You won’t regret it!

Avery is in the 7-8 yr old class. I love the front desk help that’s there to assist in any of the questions that come up from events etc. the coaches are so great with the kids. Ryan teaches the kids for the 7-8 yr olds and Avery LOVES him. And she’s striving to get a grey belt. She’s needed something to look forward to, and this is perfect to help with discipline, self defense and self confidence! Love this place!

We have been taking our 8 year old son here for about a year and a half. We love their priorities and what they teach. They are great at keeping the families informed with things going on by email as well as informing the kids what they expect from them while holding them accountable. They also seem very organized and on top of everything. My son is excelling in his classes and he loves going and wants to sign up for everything they offer. We are currently trying to convince our 4 year old daughter to try it. Whenever I talk to other moms about activities for the kids I recommend Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu every time.

I have 2 daughters at Crosley and them and I couldnt be happier! One does Muay Thai and the other Jiu-Jitsu. Both have a good mix of boys and girls (which is important when you have girls) in the classes. The staff is wonderful not only to the students but to the parents and well. A number of times I have had staff come talk to me about the girls telling me how they are doing and what they see. I really appreciate how this business runs its business both professionally and pro family.

I wanted to make a change in my life and seeked out something challenging and rewarding. To my amazment I had seen a Gracie jiu-jitsu school!! If you know the name, youll know what I mean. I have been attending for close to three months now and I will have to say I love it. I was apprehensive at first thinking i was too old. (Age 30) There are guys in my class from 19 all the way to 50-60 year olds. Everyone who is willing to put in the work is welcomed.The number one thing you learn here on day one is the culture. Respect is a huge one. Not only are you challenged to push yourself day after day, learn new moves and techniques but you really have a full team effort. You are accountable for your own growth and progress but its nice when you have guys who far out rank you and stop to kindly help groom you. They will stop to assist, point out opportunities etc. It makes for a fantastic atmosphere. Everyone respects one another regardless on rank or skill level. Love that.Last but not least is the instructors. Mr. Gracie is a very patient and helps break down the movements on how and why they are affective so anyone can understand. His knowledge is second to none and holds all of his students to a higher standard. Know if you ascend in any belt or stripe you have earned every aspect of it. You have to earn every step, nothing is given. There are other professors there as well all of which are fantastic teachers. I have yet to have a class I didnt enjoy. Fun and challenging. In the short time I have attended, I have found something I look forward to each and every week. It has surely became something I will be studying though the years. It is an honor to train under the Gracie name and through the fantastic teachers there.I would highly reccomend anyone looking to better themselves. There is no reason to not walk in and atleast see what its about. Dont worry if you have little to no experience. Most of us are on the course of learning more each day. The thousand mile journey starts with the first step! Come check it out!!

From the moment you walk in and are greeted by the front desk, you feel welcome. Both Crosley and Ryan always greet and address the kids by name. When they notice you are doing something well they give great encouragement and always correct in a manner where it’s not embarrassing for the child. We haven’t been there long but the environment it provides for my teenage son, we will be there for as long as he enjoys it. Thank you Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy for being so welcoming and providing a well rounded place for my son to be a part of.

Started going to this school a few weeks ago, and everyone was so welcoming and friendly! Super positive vibes, definately something i needed in my life! And the instructors are super helpful and full of passion! Love it here!

My son has been a student at CGJJ since he was 5 and now he’s 10 and he still loves to go to his classes each week. He has gained so much confidence since he started taking lessons and I’m glad he has the tools to defend himself. The instructors are all great and you can tell that they love working with the kids. I plan to keep my boy at CGJJ as long as possible!

Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jistu academy is a place of discipline and commitment. If you’re looking for in depth self-defense classes that can train you for the real world, this is it. I am a former Jiu-Jitsu student and participating in these classes for more than a decade has helped me become a stronger, more hardworking individual. You learn about growth and the dedication it takes to become who you want to be. I had so many fun, and impactful memories from this place since I was 4 years old and I will never forget them. I want to give a HUGE thank you to Professor Crosley Gracie, Ryan Murphy, Fernandos Valdes, and the friends and classmates I’ve made and met along the way for the help and motivation you all have given me for the 10 years I’ve been there, seriously, it means the world to me. It’s been a journey here and I am so grateful to have been a part of such a caring and attentive group. Much love to you all ❤️

WOW! That’s all I can say about Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Out of all Jiu-Jitsu schools that I’ve had a chance to visit in the area, CGA is by far the most organized, clean and friendly. I would definitely recommend taking your kids there. They will be in great hands! While you are there, check out the adult Jiu-Jitsu program too. Master Gracie is a very talented instructor and kind person. I truly recommend this school.

I started at Crosleys back in April. I had my first BJJ experience back in 2007 at another academy. There were several things that turned me off to both the academy and the art itself. Fast forward to 2021, and I was in desperate need of a mental and physical outlet. All of the previous issues that I had at another school and the art itself were different at Crosleys. It started with Lindsey at the front desk. She was able to explain things in a nice and professional way. I am the type of person who gets nervous when attempting to try something new. Instructor Ryan was able to disarm my nervousness with his humble and courteous attitude, and over all knowledge of the art. Everyone that I have met, from one stripe white belts, to Crosley himself, are nice and humble. Every class reminds me that I have made the right choice to train at Crosleys. I cant give this place enough stars.

Everyone here is amazing, very inviting, knowledgeable and friendly, from the staff to the students. I felt like I was part of the team from day one. I recommend Crosley Gracie bjj to kids and adults.

This is the place to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In my opinion, Professor Crosley and Professor Ryan are some of the best educators -- in any field. If you want to learn, practice, or compete, you should look no farther than Professor Crosley Gracies gym.

I have trained at Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for over 4 years and this place has added so much value to not just my physical health but also my mental toughness. If you are looking for a place that is professional, clean and full of great people, go to Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Both my wife and I were training here plus my two older children. We all have grown and become more confident and humble at the same time. Crosley Gracie is world class along with Ryan Murphy and Fernando Valdes in their instruction and their general care for your improvement. Unfortunately I have to move for work so its going to be really hard to replace the friendships and environment I have found here. Crosley has truly created a great environment for people to grow.

Ive been going to jiu jitsu classes here for more than two years with my daughter. When she was sixteen we decided it would be a good time for both of us to learn some self defense to help prepare her for life on her own. Weve had a great time learning, growing our abilities and meeting a ton of friendly people. The staff here is really great. They are all patient, supportive and encouraging. If you have a daughter you really owe it to her to get her into this martial art - it instills confidence that will carry over into every facet of her life. But be warned, once you join soon everyone in your family will become members too! 😆 Oh yeah, she is off to college this year and is not even thinking of quitting jiu jitsu. Thanks Crosley Gracie!

We’ve been with Crosley for 6 years. Our oldest who is 10 started when he was 4 with Jiu-Jitsu. He has transitioned to Muay Thai the past 2 years. Our youngest who is 7 has been doing Jiu-Jitsu since turning 4. The respect, confidence and discipline that coach Ryan and Crosley have instilled into our sons will be with them throughout their lives. I highly recommend Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

TLDR: Just sign up, its fun, difficult, and one of the most rewarding things you could ever do.I enrolled my youngest son with Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu 8 years ago. He was 14 and needed something to help him be more physically active. We tried football and baseball, nothing held his attention until we found Jiu Jitsu. After watching the program for a couple months, I joined. This has been one of the best things I could have done. My son and I enjoy having something we do together, it has created an incredible bond. The academy has become a second family to both of us. Every student, current and past, are like brothers and sisters in arms. Crosley, Ryan and the rest of the trainers are some of the most patient, and at the same time motivational instructors. Each one of them has shown me a new way to look at things, a different way to evaluate every problem, even problems not directly related to Jiu Jitsu. I believe this program has made me an all around better person, and I am grateful for everyone in this extended family for it.

I have been going to Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for over 7 years now. I love the time I spend training and the kind and helpful instructors that work hard every day to ensure the classes are both fun and safe for everyone involved.

Been coming to CGJJA for over a year. Used to be an Army paratrooper addicted to the gym. Counting reps nonstop. Grew to hate it. Loathed it even. It’s boring, It’s disheartening.CGBJJA gave me a new found love for exercise. You get fit while learning a skill and how to defend yourself/others.“The staff being helpful” is a vast understatement. They go above and beyond for their students. Whether it’s billing, uniforms, merch, scheduling etc, they’ve got answers for you, and answers you’ll love. And the instructors are nothing short of absolute admirable professionals. I’ve dealt with previous coaches in combatives and they’ve typically been egomaniacs. Not at CGJJA. And the fellow students are friendly, helpful, and humble. I truly look forward to my time there every class. I absolutely love it. Even though I can’t make it as often as I’d like to (everyday) I don’t see myself leaving the academy ever.

Great communication and lots of options for all levels from beginners to advanced.

I have been training at the academy since 2010. During that time I have found the staff to be highly knowledgeable, professional, and caring. They have built a place that has become a second home to me. No matter how old you are or what kind of shape you are in, the instructors bring out the best in everyone they train. If you are looking for someplace to challenge yourself both physically and mentally this is the place to go.

I happen to live very close to Crosley Gracie, but even if I didnt...I would make the time to get here. The classes are filled with welcoming, like minded, hard working students that embrace new faces. I thoroughly look forward to my time on the mats every week. I dont often make time to write out reviews but this is absolutely worth the effort and a true 5-Star experience.

My son has been attending Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu for 3 years now, and we’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences! My son took a few months off due to covid, and he had a private lesson with Ryan to reacclimatize himself with the basics before just jumping straight into class. I cannot express how much we love the team at Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu!Colts perspective:Since beginning at Crosley Gracie Academy, I feel more confident and less afraid to be out by myself. I feel confident that I can protect myself and my little sister if something bad were to happen. I am stronger and can’t wait to continue my training

Great way to train for protecting yourself and getting in better shape at the same time!

Did the trial day recently, was very clean and covid safe as much as possible. Masks required, mats disinfected after every match, Management and Mr.Crosley were very nice. My daughter felt very welcome and shes always shy at first. Mr.Crosleys background speaks for itself. Would recommend double checking GPS as mine took me to the churches nearby making my embarrassed for being late. Mr.Crosley and I joked a little about it. Great personality.

Professor Ryan is AMAZING!!! My daughter is thriving under his teaching.

I used to be here in 2008 and loved it and I plan on coming back

Becoming a student at Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has been one of the most valuable investments I’ve made. The instructors are absolutely top notch, and the students are serious, polite, and highly skilled. If you want to learn BJJ the right way, train here!

Great time watching my grandson learning about respect and discipline.

I never gave a negative review but these people forced me to take it on yelp. My son has been going here for last 5 years and now since we all are hit by the pandemic and struggling but these people are here to make profits. The place has been shut down for 6 months but they decided to charge us monthly fee. I contacted them and gave them reasons of why they should have not charged me full monthly fee but the lady on the counter was super rude and unprofessional and would let us to talk to the owner to sort out our fee problem. I thought I should contact the owner directly via email and phone call but there was no response from the owner which is very unethical. DONT TRUST THIS PLACE THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF NO MATTER WHAT. I will file a report at Brentwood city of how they are profiting while people are struggling.

I have trained with Crosley Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost 3 years now. I will never leave! Jiu jitsu is SO important, especially for women! The self defense training is incredible and empowering. This is a part of my lifestyle..the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits are like nothing else I have ever practiced!Crosley Gracie Academy, hands down, is the cleanest gym I’ve ever trained in. The quality of the leadership and instructors is TOP notch. I’ve worked in and out of the fitness industry for years, and I KNOW the value of a great program, and this IS one!If I’d only known how much I would come to love every aspect of Jiu Jitsu and the “family” that I now have from the Crosley Gracie Academy, I would have joined years ago! I look forward to growing more and practicing the Bushido lifestyle code.Especially thankful and grateful to be able to train through this year and Covid. Appreciate all staff, their patience, and their efforts to motivate every student! OSS! ❤️🙌🏻

Amazing place so many people to be around ant talk to and I hav been going for 4 years amazing

Awesome place. My son started about 6-8 months ago and all he wants is to get better. Talks about Jiu-Jitsu constantly.

As a student here, I find their instruction impeccable and irreplaceable. In my opinion I am certain that their is no other martial arts academies I rather frequent. In addition to their splendid, they teach important lessons most commonly in their kids classes providing a great source of discipline.

Hard work pays off! Not only does my son learn to protect himself and others, but he shows respect by looking you in the eyes with a firm handshake and holding the door open. He has been taking lessons here for a year and a half, and I am so proud to see his progression. His confidence has grown, and he is getting so strong with true muscle definition and endurance. Last year he had an incident at school with a friend who took it too far while playing by pushing him down and hitting him, my son was able to defend himself with a few techniques and put the boy into submission, but because of how he talked it out with the boy they walked away best friends. So not only am I seeing a change in him in class, but outside of the class too, very useful tools for him to take for life.

I Love Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu! It’s A Great Place To Train.

I have been training here for almost 3 years now. I can tell you with certainty, that the training I have received is top notch. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. Young or old you WILL benefit from the training provided here. I have gained confidence, strength, mental fortitude, and so much more. I am a better person than when I started there, and feel like a better version of myself after each training session. Brazillian Jiu Jitsu itself is an amazing thing. However, these instructors, and my awesome classmates, have made it fun, and challenging at the same time. If you have been thinking about starting, and are to scared or nervous, I can tell you one thing. JUST DO IT. Once you start, the nerves fade away and it turns into something so awesome that only those who have done it will truly understand! Thank you professors for your dedication and hard work! 🤙

Best facility in the area. If you are interested in martial arts or just finding a great way to get in shape come on down and give it a trial class. Coming here has helped me loose 40 lbs and be in the best shape I’ve been in since high school. No macho environment here, just a bunch of people looking to help each other improve. Give it a shot, what do you have to loose!

The instruction is second to none. The fellow students are incredibly supportive. Great environment and super fun.

All I can say is AMAZING! My son started here a few months ago and we have seen improvements in not only his focus at home but also at school. The instructors are professional and caring and they really care about the kids...... 1000000 percent recommend them.

Had an awesome lesson with Instructor Preston Garcia!

My grandson Alex had a great first experience here with his Muay Thai lesson. He can`t wait for his next class. Thank you Stefan and Crosley Gracie Jiu JItsu.

Ok, I am grateful for my new journey here at Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy. I’ve taken advantage of the special and added a 3rd day a week. My Tuesday’s and Thursday’s with Ryan Murphy have been instrumental in my learning. Great instructors, great members working hard at the arts of this academy. So thank you to Ryan Murphy. Now I want to shout out to another instructor Fernando S. Valdes wow the first 13-15 minutes of cardio..... the hard work is paying off, it seems I’m adapting to the building of our bodies and cardiovascular system. Lol it’s ridiculous and beneficial by far. I wanted to shout out the the men and women on Monday evenings at 8pm. Thank you all for being good partners in our conditioning. I had a great extra 20 minutes of conditioning with you. Keep showing up and we will endure! Thank you Crosley Gracie for the journey.

Studying with Professor Ryan and Professor Crosley has been one of the most important, meaningful experiences in my life!

It started with my daughter, the virus then spread to my son, my wife and finally myself. We’re now fully infected with Jiu-Jitsu. Crosley and Ryan are fantastic instructors, friendly and absolute experts. Everyone there is nice, it’s always a good time to go train. Get off the couch and go sign up now.

Enrolling at The Crosley Gracie Jiu_Jitsu Academy is by far the best investment you can make for yourself and/or your children. You will find a spotlessly clean environment where respect, inclusion and positive wellness are practiced. If you are looking for training, health, self confidence and personal growth, please, come in and hang out. See for yourself what this place is all about. Talk to the students. Talk to the parents. Talk to the instructors. Think about embarking on a journey of enrichment. Do it for you. Crosley Gracie BJJ is a family for a family.

Best martial arts in the county. Over a decade of learning and still just scratching the surface. Recommended for anyone wanting to learn real and effective self defense and self improvement

My son and I have been training at Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu for over 2 years now. It is a wonderful place to learn an amazing martial art. It is a family oriented business and everyone makes you feel like your a part of the family. It has been really amazing to watch my son grow into a young man, capable of defending himself and gaining such self confidence as he had trained in this amazing art. Thank you to Crosley, Ryan and all the other instructors for giving so much of themselves

I started lessons with a goal to become proficient at Muay Thai while helping my overall fitness. With the training from Steffan in an amazing environment Crosley has created at his Academy, Im achieving my goals and was able to defend myself with a cool head when attacked at Streets of Brentwood last week.Even though I disliked jumping rope, Steffan has been able to incorporate warmups/fitness like this into an overall routine that I can keep pace with (Im 43) while delivering the technique improvement that I ask for. There is a convenient class schedule and private lessons when you need to book outside of class times. After watching the Jiu Jitsu classes, long term im planning to start lessons when i feel stronger with Muay Thai.There is a discipline and control that is taught and last week some random guy who was yelling at his wife started yelling at me when i tried to get to my car. I just tried to diffuse the situation while he pushed me 3 times. The training allowed me to not get scared/panic maybe hurt someone. When the person decided to push me a 4th time and punch me, i was able to defend myself quickly without much injury to him or myself by putting him down and retreating away while he recovered. The police 5150d him after interviewing witnesses and left the situation without any real damage to anyone.I wasnt planning on running into such a traumatic situation, but it went so much better because of the weekly training i go through here. Thanks Steffan and Crosley!

My daughter and I started attending jiu jitsu classes here about nine months ago. It really is an excellent place to learn a very important skill but also to improve your fitness and flexibility. The instructors, Crosley and Ryan, are both amazing teachers who have a wealth of knowledge and never speak down to anyone willing to learn.If you are thinking of trying just one class be forewarned, you will definitely want to keep coming back. The fees are reasonable and the class meeting times are flexible enough to fit with most schedules. The other students are also earnest in their eagerness to help everyone learn. Throughout the year the center plays hosts to some very big names in the jiu jitsu world. Truly Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a hidden gem in Brentwood.

Love this place!! My son has really gained so much confidence and strength! The instructors are fantastic with the kids.

My 10 year old son started at Crosley Gracie BJJ Academy this past December. His confidence has grown and he has a new joy in self-defense, fitness and a new sport. He looks forward to going to his BJJ class throughout the week. Crosley, Ryan Murphy and the assistant instructors are all great with the kids.The people/families who participate at the academy are also friendly and welcoming.I hope to be able to begin training soon at the academy as my work schedule will allow.

I began training at Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy back in November/October of 2012 after moving from the east coast. I came into the academy with zero experience in ground fighting at all, and was apprehensive about the whole idea. After my first trial class I became instantly hooked. We got good workouts in, put effort into learning the techniques, and had fun doing it. Very positive learning environment in the academy, and they implement respect and good morals into the lessons which is great. For example they send the kids home with letters to their parents and school teachers to grade their performance before promotions. You have to actually earn it! My teammates and I have only continued to grow throughout the years, and while it does take commitment and time, if you keep the drive up and put in your time/attention, the rewards are more than worth it once youve earned them. Ryan and Crosley along with the rest of the staff have been great. 100% would do it all over again.

My daughter loves training here. They are very patient with the kids while still maintaining discipline.

I had taken lessons in Orange County before moving to Brentwood a few years ago and somewhat kept up with my Muay Thai at a home gym. I was lucky enough to discover this place after deciding I wanted to start learning again and moving forward past the basics. Everyone was very helpful and friendly with my questions and after some consultation I booked Stefan for a MT lesson. My first day Crosley made a point to come say hi and explain some renovations they were doing, hoping it wasnt bothering me. I had a great experience and booked more lessons. While I do one-on-one lessons, I also saw how well done the group MT lessons seemed to go for other students ive met there.While my son is still too young, Ive been looking at the Jiu Jitsu classes and see how much the kids seem to enjoy and learn and am planning to get him on the waiting list soon. For myself Ill be booking Stefan every week indefinitely. He is great at teaching and watching me to help me get better every lesson. I would highly recommend Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy for anyone considering learning/improving Muay Thai or Jiu Jitsu. Thanks!

CGJJA is the best Martial Arts school in the area. Top tier instruction and excellent training partners. Outstanding Muay Thai program as well.

My name is Jeremy Clements.I joined Crosley Gracie Academy to help me deal with the death of my older brother 3 years ago, and to overcome my fears. Its helped me more than words can say.Im much more confident than before and always much more at peace.

Amazing instructors! I’ve been training here for a couple of years now. I’m very happy with the training and environment. This is THE place to train Jiu Jitsu.

I initially trained at a martial arts gym out in Concord. The training was great. It was a traditional stand-up style. However, I knew that statistically most fights end on the ground though. That was the problem, I didnt have any grappling experience and wanted to learn more. I looked into a few schools and finally chose Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu for a number of reasons: 1. Professionalism, 2. Friendliness of staff, 3. the fact that the black belt(s) / owner actually trained us, 4. Cleanliness of school, 5. Location (it was closer to my home than my previous gym), 6. Flexible schedules. Through Crosley Gracie BJJ, I feel I now have a much better ground game, more overall health, and most importantly long lasting friendships with my teammates and coaches. My life is more fulfilled because of this gym and through stability of work/life/health, I plan to train here for years to come!

I have been training at Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu now for more than three years. I loved it after two months and I still love it after 3 years. I never imagined myself as a martial arts guy but now I cant imagine not training. I would highly recommend giving yourself the gift of getting in shape and gaining confidence in yourself at Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

My son enjoys this. They need to listen to an adult and interact with their peers. Similar to most sports.

Im recently retired and a new student at Crosley Jui-jitsu. I enjoy the camaraderie and positive learning atmosphere. The classes are challenging and fun and Im loving the journey!

Crosley Gracie jiu-jitsu transformed me into a person i never knew exsisted. The training and knowledge the instructors share with the students not only help us on the mat but in everyday life aswell. There is no question about it CGJJ is the best place to train Jiu-Jitsu. it will become your comfort zone in no time. #CGJJ #BESTINSTRUCTORS

My experience over the past 16 months with Professor Gracie and his academy has been extremely positive- there is a real feeling of family and camaraderie that Ive rarely seen in other academies/gyms/dojos. The curriculum is taught in a well thought out manner that builds upon core fundamental concepts and classes are structured in such a way that you are challenged both physically and mentally- you are encouraged (not pushed) to step out of your comfort zone. The Brentwood facility is top notch and the Napa Academy (where I train) has a true spartan feel that makes me proud to say I train there. Trust me, if you wanted easy, you could join any number of martial art gyms in the area. However, you dont want easy do you? You want excellent instruction from world class instructors on a functional self defense system that will teach you more about yourself than you thought possible. Now put on your angry white pajamas and get your sweat therapy on! :-)

Two years ago we made one of the best decisions for our son Timmy. After being diagnosed with ADHD and the Battle of prescription medicines and the daily struggle I was wondering if youre doing the right thing? We decided to look into the Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy and the summer program. After talking with Ryan Murphy and Crosley, I listened to their perspective and experience through their knowledge about ADHD and how Jiu-Jitsu helps kids with it. Really quickly we seen results and decided to enroll him full-time as a student. Today Timmy has made a complete transformation from being able to focus and be more confident in everything he does from his school work and wrestling at his school and being involved in discipleship programs at the church. I recommend it for any kid that struggling in school or with confidence. The training and coaching from the staff at Crossing Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has not only shown true but also has been priceless, thank you.!

This is the reply to Lindsey the manager, she said our card was declined which is totally a lie our son was going there for 5 years. Its a misleading comment from her we never miss any payment. Basically they were trying to force us to send the kid during the pandemic so they can make Money the reason we did not send our son because they had a multiple Covid 19 cases there. We put our son account on freez and want to talk to the Crosley but he always on vacation according to the front desk and he have a some Ego problem because he never try to contact us even our son was going there for 5 years. They are totally unprofessional and no respect for the parents

Today is my 5-year anniversary training at the Crosley Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy (CGBJJ). It has been an incredible experience. I am a Law Enforcement Officer and training here has literally made me better and safer at work. Crosley, Ryan, and all the staff are consummate professionals and amazingly supportive.I frequently get to observe a few minutes of the kids classes, as I wait for the adult classes to start. Over the years I have seen meek and timid kids start their journey with CGBJJ. These kids become self-assured and amazingly confident little humans as their training progresses. I am confident that these kids will not be bullied or become the victims of peer pressure.I encourage you to check out a trial class and see for yourself!* Amazing Law Enforcement training* The best anti-bullying training for kids* Practical and effective self-defense training* Incredible training partners/teammates

Crosley Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has been an amazing experience.I have trained in martial arts my entire life, but wanted to expand my horizons and try Jiu-Jitsu. I wanted to learn how to protect myself on the ground, not just striking and blocking.After going through some life threatening injuries, I became extremely limited on what I could do physically, but after 6 years, paralysis, and chronic nerve pain, I decided to take a chance and finally try what I had been wanting.This school has been a life-saver for me, they have allowed me to go at my own pace, but also pushing my physical abilities, allowing me to learn my limits and go even farther.So far this school has helped me achieve those goals of self perseverance, knowing my limits, and I am continuing to learn and grow in so many ways.I am grateful I found this academy at this point in my life.

Before I started training jiu jitsu I suffered from disturbing nightmares about being attacked and not knowing how to defend myself or protect my daughter. I met the owner of the academy through a mutual friend and he said that continued jiu jitsu training could help empower myself and my thoughts. After researching jiu jitsu, I decided to join to improve my confidence, get in shape (being that I was in my early 30s and having never really worked out) and hopefully get rid of my insecurities.Since I started training, 4 1/2 years ago, I am in the best shape of my life and have never felt so well conditioned physically and mentally. The daily training methods some of which consists of full resistance matches with men, replicates what could happen if I were to ever be attacked in the streets ( full resisting attacker trying to take down and subdue his target). The empowerment that I have gotten from training and submitting men who at times are bigger and stronger than me in practice is priceless.The feeling of camaraderie and respect amongst the instructors and students make it easy for anyone to adapt to the training, be it in the women only or co-ed classes. I was invited to perform rape prevention demonstrations at free seminars for women in our community.Another aspect of the training that I love is the option to enter tournaments, which are held all over the state. My female teammates and I compete regularly and have even won major tournaments in NorCal.The academy is always clean and is very spacious. They offer two large training areas, one for jiu jitsu and one for Muay Thai (which I also love). Coach Stephanie Horine is very knowledgable, friendly and has a fantastic energy.Their kids jiu jitsu program is also very comprehensive and teaches a lot more than just self defense to the children. My daughter trained for 1 1/2 years and learned a lot about discipline, respect and improved her athleticism a lot.This gym is a great addition to any family and Im very thankful that they are in our community and I am a part of it.

I didn’t enjoy Bjj here, so I went to another place

Extremely nice instructors, very clean safe location.
