My son is autistic and I put him in this place for safety and protection since his was 7 and he loved it... 4 year of payments $7000 that came from my son ssi money. I am single parent going through a rough patch and verbalized this and stated we will return once we got settwe after we mov. I was told to never come back to the gym. After a double payment in Dec that was taken out of my son account to supposedly cover Sept bill. this caused a hardship that I explained to the owner. As the only Black American in their business they don't see how disrespectful this is and never cared for my son. All I tired to do is pause his membership until after the hard time but was told I still had to pay even if he was attending. He did attend Dec and was charge even though they know he is with his father for the holidays. The fact the my son was NEVER invited back is okay. But this is why Black Americans don't support other cultures. You come over here... take our money, then disrespect us after we have supposed you! To the owners: You should be ashamed to treat the disabled black child like this especially when he was the ONLY BLACK BOY in the class! I communicated to your staff as soon as possible and was harassed by your staff for weeks for oayment after I emailed, spoke to and texted your staff my situation. My son didn't deserve to be treated like this. And I will be filing a complaint for the Unauthorized Retroactive Billing to a disabled childs income. read more

I am a Licenses Therapist and have sent clients here who I felt Jiu Jitsu would be a great fit for and they have taken them under their wings and contributed immensely to their mental health and personal development. I have been training for years and can only hope that if I start work with a client they are open to Jiu Jitsu for all of the benefits, and these guys and Ralph Gracie Pleasanton have really delivered with who I have sent there and I just felt the least I could do is leave this review for anyone thinking of joining or getting their kids into Jiu Jitsu. read more

Marcio and Vinnie are excellent instructors, nice guys, and fun to be around. My 8 year old son and I have been training here since last year and we both love it. We feel like we are part of the family. I have had the opportunity to train at several different jiu jitsu schools and Ralph Gracie Pleasanton is definitely one of the best! I would recommend the school not only to experienced grapplers, but also to people with little or no experience. They also have a great kids program. read more

The coaches/professors are very friendly and keep a very positive environment as they are conditioning and learning technical skills. Special shout out to the receptionist Marina, who takes special care of kids while they wait. It's a place that feels like family.

Awesome new facility with excellent instructors! My son (7 yo) takes the MMA/kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu classes and really enjoys it.

I've been training under Professor Marcio for about 4 years and really appreciate his calm, clear, step-by-step instruction. Great family environment with zero ego. No place in the tri-valley I would rather train at than Ralph Gracie Pleasanton. Congratulations professor Marcio and Professor Julio on the new academy! Oss! read more

I trained a little pre-pandemic but after a year+ of being stuck inside I lost what little BJJ knowledge I had. Professor Marcio got me back in shape and rolling again in no time at all. I feel like I've learned a ton in the past 4 months and am super proud of my progress. The teaching here is top notch. The culture at this school is absolutely amazing. Everybody wants to learn and help you learn. The higher belts will occasionally roll with you and give feedback as well. Fantastic group of people to be around. If you're looking for a place to train or want to try out BJJ for the first time, this is the place to do it. I would rate this gym 10 stars if I could read more
