Jiu Jitsu alone is some of the most fun I can have-- but with the recent update to the 6pm class (monday, wednesday, friday) it has been so thoroughly enjoyable. Coach Mike has us drilling practical, high-stakes self-defense scenarios while maintaining the mutual respect that is ALWAYS fostered by the people attending this school. I can't recommend this place enough, beginners and advanced practitioners alike. read more

My kids started training at 925 almost two years ago and it's the best decision we've made! The coaches here are all incredible - patient, great with kids and knowledgeable! The one hour is class is fun for kids but also teaches discipline. Both are my kids are both mentally tougher, more confident and look forward to every class! I'm incredibly proud of them and so grateful to be part of the 925 jiu jitsu community!! I recommend 925 jiu jitsu to all my parent friends!! read more

We have been bringing our 11-year-old son here for 2 years now. It is a wonderful way to teach discipline , focus, commitment, and patience, as well as a great physical activity for an active child. The coaches are extremely supportive and dedicated and promote a culture of respect. 925 Jiu-Jitsu has been a wonderful, positive experience that we enjoy. We like it because of the family atmosphere. Plus it's not only teaching our child self defense but it's also teaching our child that even though it's hard work, you can over come it by applying yourself. Professor Erico is a down to earth instructor who is meticulously detail-oriented on the fundamental techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is very observant during practice drills and genuinely wants his students to progressively get better and do well in class as well as in competition. Most importantly, he is also a great mentor on and off the mat. The staff and team of coaches are great at working with the kids no matter where they're at in their experience. Can't say enough! read more

After almost two COVIDY years of limited physical activity due to no real physical education being taught in the schools, park closures and 'distance learning' we had been searching for a healthy outlet for the boys. We started the boys with Erico at 925 Jiu jitsu in November and we cannot be more pleased. Erico is an exceptional coach and mentor, the boys look up to him and want to make him proud. Erico provides them with discipline and structured learning that applies both inside the gym and outside; life lessons in manners, discipline, grit, effort, respect, and self-defense. Erico is not only building some great worriers on the mat but also in life. Our younger son Jackson really struggles with his self-confidence and sometimes holds back his real effort, Erico sees this and uses is incredible coaching skills to push Jackson. It is so rewarding to see Jackson's face when he has realized he CAN do this. Our older son Sebastian has been training with Erico 5 days a week, and the few occasions we were not able to make it he was very disappointed. Our 11-year-old loves this training and this school so much he wants to be there EVERYDAY, and not every day is easy. I LOVE That. What better gift in todays crazy world can you give your child than the ability to protect themselves? Known as the gentle art you are not promoting striking or hitting but rather teaching them to be able to submit their aggressor, this is why Jiujitsu was excellent option for us. After watching the boys have all the fun for 3 months, I decided that this is a skill that will only improve my fitness, strength and my ability to protect myself. I took my first class on Monday; I can see why Sebastian is so hooked!! My husband and I both joined as well and are very excited to train as a family with Erico for many years to come. Thank you Erico! read more

925 Jiu-Jitsu Club, I can't say enough good things to say about the school. The head instructor, Erico, is a phenomenal teacher. He's breaks down every motion, every step of the way in a very elegant explanation. He teaches Jiu-Jitsu how it was meant to be taught, simply basic. Because when all the fancy flipping and more modern styles fail, you go back to the basic's. Here, everyone including children can understand each warm-up, each position, and basic meaning of the Gentle Art (Jiu-Jitsu). My daughter and I both train here and I can tell you right now, it is an amazing school to be more humble, respectful, and of course, learn how to a North South Cross Choke that can put Goliath to sleep . I highly recommend anyone who hasn't tried a martial art or has a basic knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu, to come step on the mat and be apart of the 925 Jiu-Jitsu Club family, you won't regret it! OSS! read more

925 Jiu Jitsu - My daughter got her first stripe! - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Near Me - Martinez, California

Erico is a great teacher. I am a big guy (280lb) and Erico helps me see how BJJ works for my body type. He understands my limitations and also pushes me past my perceived limitations. I appreciate the individual attention he gives to each student, and how he is able to help each student where they are, and move them to the next level. If I can do it, so can you. AND, the price is very reasonable. read more

I recently started my Jiu Jitsu journey only 3 months in so far. I can't say enough goods things about this place and the coach Erico! I was very skeptical about starting jiu jitsu and didn't wanna go to the wrong place and just not learn and get injured or thrown to the wolfs in rolling. Erico is very thorough and precise in his teachings. Very welcoming from him and all the other guys who go! Been nothing but an awesome experience! Anyone interested in giving it a go or on the fence definitely give this place a try first! read more

Top notch training for those looking to learn some high-level Jiu Jitsu. Erico is a great professor, he really dives into the details of the movements and why they work. He's always open to answer any questions the students may have. Highly recommend this school. read more

925 Jiu Jitsu club/ University,, nice place to train traditional and modified Jiu Jitsu under Erico Monterio great teacher but, if you are not in his clique, or fit a certain profile he will revoke you're membership, ban you from the school, and give you a reason involving commitment and values, in which I showed but his comprehension on his own school values he sets and tells students to practice , is total opposite from what he practices and preaches. We all should be treated the same as students of one of the greatest forms of martial arts/ self defense but to show favoritism, or preference, or not being told face to face for you're expulsion, out of school for no school violation is wrong! Where the weak become strong, where the slow become fast, where the novice becomes expert , that's great but to kick out a student for a non truthful personnel, reason awwh no, is that a value or a teacher abusing power, for personal reasons?? You be the judge!! ERICO. M. NEEDS TO TREAT ALL HIS STUDENTS, THE SAME WAY, HE TREATS JIU JITSU WITH LOYALTY, KINDNESS AND FAIRNESS! I hope no other student has, or have to go through this Drama that continues in schools, with teachers and students all over!! JIU JITSU/ Wrestling MY LOVE, it was here before me, and I pray to god it's after me with no drama! Practiced and trained with true values installed so it can live forever!

Tried out a class and easily decided that this was a place I wanted to train. Professor Erico's demeanor and willingness to break things down to a simple and effective strategy made things very comfortable. He comes from a very prestigious lineage of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Best Jiu Jitsu gym in the area. Great instruction, clean and friendly environment. Come check it out!

The teacher is very respectful and likes to explain what your doing rong which I like

I'm a slow learner, all moves are broken down and taught in a way that you would remember them. Here is where I learned the history of Jiu-jitsu and how it is a lifestyle. I have a bad knee, Erico teaches me alternative warm ups and is patient with me. This is a great school to be apart of. read more

Best bjj for miles. Great coach. Great dojo. All the programs are detailed and taught as such. Couldn't ask for a better coach, studio or group of practitioners for my son and I. read more

This is a great location, with a great gym next door. The teacher Erico has been in the game for years. And has trained under all star masters. He is very compassionate about what he does. And doesn't hand out praise or belts like candy on halloween. When you have earned his belts you will get it and you will know that you are truly worthy to get it unlike some of these other schools that hand out belts just to keep students. He has a small group that are higher belts that have trained under him for years and they are more than willing to help you in your game. This is a school for not just competitive jiu jitsu, but also for people who just want to learn the game. Its also a place to gain a brotherhood with many amazing people and learning to exit your comfort zone. You want to gain self confidence? Train here, self defense? You will be a force to reckon with in a few short years. Grow as a person? Perfect place! Sign up and get on the mat read more

Erico is a fantastic teacher for all levels. The 925 Jiu Jitsu Club classes are plentiful and well structured. Erico is a stickler for details that has built a great mat space with tons of room to suplex people. . The venue connects to a giant gym...with a sauna and full locker room. It's all here. read more

I have been practicing martial arts for about 30 years now and been actively practicing Jiu-Jitsu since 2008. I have moved around a lot and have been really lucky to be exposed to different dojos around the world. Based on my experience Erico is one of the best instructors I had the pleasure to meet and work with. Jiu-jitsu and martial arts in general is a life style that requires discipline, passion, and respect for the art and the people involved. Erico creates an environment that covers all aspects of the art and gives you the tool needed. He sets everyone up for success regardless of your background, age, body type, gender, and personality. He has studied the art extensively. He has created a process of continuous improvement for himself and the students. He knows how to explain and breakdown the moves in a way that everyone can understand. He is very supportive and willing to adjust based on peoples need. His love for the art shows in the way he conducts himself and maintains the dojo. My jiu-jitsu has improved drastically since I have been working with Erico. I highly recommend 925 jiu-jitsus to anyone who is ready to do something very challenging but rewarding at the same time. Once you join the club you will instantaneously gain a brand new family. read more

I asked around about Jiu Jitsu instruction and others that are long time veterans of the fight world recommended Erico with enthusiasm. My teenage sons are new to the sport and have been going to this club since the opening. They speak highly of Erico, his skill, teaching style and attitude. They go to extra classes every chance they get which says it all for me. The classes are small and you get lots of one on one time from a black belt instructor. The facility is the perfect size with a full gym adjacent. I recommend the 925 Jiu Jiu Jitsu Club without hesitation! read more
