Awesome place to learn and practice BJJ for kids and adults. Really friendly atmosphere for everyone and they recently launched fundamentals class if you are just starting out.

Claudio Franca's BJJ is an amazing school with great instructors. The head instructor, Erik, is sharp and is there to help you become the best of who you can be. The students will ultimately become friends and friendly people that will roll with you and submit you, but also teach you how to do it. This is also a great way to get in shape - even if you already do other fitness activities or other martial arts. The only thing to watch out for is that after a while, you may become addicted! :-).

So glad I found this gym. My kids have been interested in bjj and kickboxing and we were finally able to find a gym close by. The best part of the gym are the knowledgeable coaches and the overall culture of building character and skill. The kids class at 430 and 530 have different age requirements but the coaching is top notch with very age appropriate training. Kickboxing for kids is on Tuesdays and Thursdays and is taught by a Bellator fighter. Kids absolutely love it and not only that but I was able to take advantage of a summer special and family plan which also gave me access to training. There are plenty of class options for adults and kids Monday thru Saturday and open gym on Sunday. I never thought I would be able to afford membership for 3 kids plus myself but that is exactly what this gym was able to provide.

Really glad that I found this academy. The instructors are phenomenal and they've built a really great family friendly environment to learn and grow in BJJ.I really appreciated the fact that a membership wasn't shoved in my face when I first showed up. Erik, the head instructor and owner, gave me time and wanted to ensure it was a right fit for me. The kids program is fantastic and their kickboxing classes are great.If you're looking to improve your self defense and get a great workout in, give this place a try!

Awesome BJJ gym. Super friendly and welcoming to beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Erik is an awesome example of the best of BJJ culture. Welcoming, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Schedule of classes has times throughout the day for anyone's schedule. If you are thinking of getting into BJJ or looking for a new gym, CFBJJ SJ is awesome.

I cannot overstate how happy my family and I’ve been to have found this gym. I was immediately drawn in by the family friendly environment when I first visited and the vibes have not changed since, nearly half a year later.Our family of 4 (myself, wife and 2 kids) train here nearly everyday - we usually do the lunch time classes and take the kids for the evening training. It’s like our second home.The instructions are first rate for both the kids and adults classes. The couple who teach the afternoon and kids classes, Anaue and Thamara, are world class competitors who have extensive knowledge of the sport. They are extremely detail oriented and are incredible at conveying the information. Erik, the owner, also teaches the noon classes and has had the best details I’ve ever seen for fundamentals.I’ve been training for nearly 10 years and have moved all over the country, going to many different schools from old school Gracie lineages to modern day competition schools, and this is easily among the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to train in. I literally walk in everyday with a smile on my face.

This place just feels like home. Students receive top level instruction from world class instructors with bjj roots going directly back to Helio Gracie. They offer daily kids and family classes as well adult classes.The facility is huge and has tons of mat space and punching bags for kickboxing training along with a great weight lifting area and clean bathrooms.Go visit this gym to get a great workout, gain self confidence and learn self defense skills and meet some really great people.
