This gym is amazing their attention to detail is really what sets them apart from the rest of the gyms in the are. My grandchildren have really flourished here in the past few years. They go to competitions and their coaches are always there by their side. The coaches really care about the students and are easy to come to if you have any question. I highly recommend David and Samantha at Big Break Jiu jitsu Five stars all the way

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or karate. The main focus for this review was to share with the public our encounter in which my family and I experienced at your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. I see that you did not mention the statement you told my 12 year old son about " I'm not blowing steam out of my a**" when he couldn't get the steps down right away. I see that you are trying to prove a point in the eyes of the public so please explain that in which you spoke to my son in such a manner.

I absolutely love this place, me and my adult daughter started here last month and the team has been very encouraging and supportive as we have never done any type of martial arts and we were looking for something new to do together. David really take the time to help you understand not only the techniques but why and when they should be used which has help me progress fast for me. The class time work well with our schedules. I'm so happy we found this place and give it 5 stars.

We absolutely love the team over here at Big break jiujitsu. The coaches are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We've trained at other gyms before but they weren't a good fit for us. Me my wife and kids all train and go to competition's and we can found on David and Samantha to be there to coach us.. We recommend them to all of our friends . if you're looking for a wonderful clean and friendly environment David and Samantha are the best.

I highly recommend Big Break Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. The owners are incredible and truly understand not only Jiu Jitsu but also have experience with Neurodivergent kids. I have seen many of the children they serve grow and thrive, come out of their shells, and truly learn to love the sport. This is the only Martial Arts school in the city of Oakley and it's also a local family owned business, which is important to me. The owners and their children are also active in the community and have given back to the community in a number of ways.

I highly recommend Big Break, this place is awesome! Best decision I ever made is coming here. From the very first day everyone was super friendly, David and Sam made me feel right at home and welcomed.They are open now 7 days a week! You are definitely going to get more one on one training here to advance your training. David really knows how to instruct so you learn and retain what he is teaching.Glad I decided to come here and make this place my home away from home!

David and Sam are absolutely the best! They really take the time and effort to make sure you understand everything that they are teaching. They really do care so much about their students and their progress. They have created an environmental that encourages students to push themselves personally and professionally. When I first started I came in for an intro and David was super helpful and patience while I struggled at first like most people do but here I am years later and all I can say this is my home gym and it's he best.

My son has been taking classes at Big Break Jiu Jitsu for just about 8 months now and David and Samantha are phenomenal coaches and really go above and beyond for the kids (as I’m sure they do for the adults that train there, too!) my sons confidence has sky rocketed and he has even improved in school, too.. The patience they have while thoroughly training 30+ kids is totally admirable and I look forward to watching my son grow with them and the team!

A place of growth and community. I have really enjoyed the 2+ years in this community. The ride has been absolutely beneficial for my quality of life. Losing around 65 lbs has obviously been great for me, but the community behind this has been great for my overall quality of life. My confidence and love for jiu jitsu started here. David and Samantha have the strongest passion for jiu jitsu with a resume to prove it. Considering I haven't felt this good I am going to use this as a way to say thank you. If you have an interest in jiu jitsu I wouldn't hesitate to contact them.

I've been coming to Big Break for 4 months now and I absolutely love it. I'd always wanted to join a jiu jitsu gym but had been hesitant due to cost, schedule and just overall vibe from the teachers and students. Since my introductory session with David I felt like I was at home. After my first class I got the sense of camaraderie with my new classmates. The instruction is top notch. David and Sam break every lesson down so even those who aren't as athletically gifted can understand and replicate. The cost of training is extremely reasonable. I'm from the South Bay originally and memberships can cost $250 plus for unlimited classes. When you join Big Break you can go to all the classes here and even attend affiliate gyms which I believe there are 4 or 5 others at no additions cost. Overall 5/5 stars easily. If you're on the fence about taking your first class or you're an experienced martial artist, I highly recommend checking out Big Break. You won't be disappointed.
