    I was in Gilroy for work for two weeks and was looking for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy to train…read moreat. I found three academies in the area, and Gilroy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was the closest one to my hotel. I went on their website, signed the waiver, and that same day Anthony called me to check in. I told him I was in town for two weeks for work, and he said, "Then you can just come train with us for free." That alone really impressed me. He explained how the classes were organized and let me know that Mondays were takedown-only. Since I was mainly looking to roll, he told me that Tuesday through Saturday were roll days. When I arrived, I had a little trouble finding the academy because it's tucked away upstairs inside a building. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by one of the students, who was extremely friendly. He asked if it was my first time. I told him I had been training for about four months, and he pointed me toward Anthony. I introduced myself to Anthony, and then I started stretching out. The class was exactly what I was looking for. There were a lot of students, the atmosphere was great, and Anthony provided excellent instruction. After class, I told Anthony that I was definitely coming back, but I needed to wash my gi first. He said, "Come here," took me to the back room, asked what size I wore, and when I said A4, he literally handed me a gi and said, "It's yours." I was honestly astonished. I didn't expect that at all. Anthony went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, and that gesture really showed me what kind of person and teacher he is. Anthony is a true blessing, and I'm grateful for the experience. If you're in the Gilroy area and looking for a place to train, I definitely recommend Gilroy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 10/10!

    My husband and 2 kids (7 & 4) have recently started their BJJ journey and have settled at Gilroy…read moreBrazilian Jiu Jitsu, and we couldn't be any happier. We did our research both within and outside the city for jiu jitsu gyms, and decided to become members here since its an affiliated Caio Terra gym, with International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation certified trainers. From the training coaches to the students, everyone fosters a supportive environment during training, regardless of the level or reason you're there, whether fitness or self defense, entry level or advanced belt. Coach Anthony and Kyle are amazing with the children, and all of the coaches are patient during the kids classes, with children of all ages. The kids come here and are able to learn, develop a sense of comradery, gain confidence, and they all have a lot of fun together. The coaches are very knowledgable and experienced, and willing to share their experience with the students. We're very fortunate to have found a home at Gilroy BJJ and look forward to every training!

    I've been training at GB for just over two 1/2 years now, and it's truly been a life-changing…read morejourney. From day one, the staff made me feel welcome, and the community here is incredibly supportive. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, there's always someone willing to help you improve. When I started, I was diabetic and dependent on both metformin and insulin. Within eight months of consistent training and lifestyle changes through Jiu-Jitsu, I was completely off all medications. That alone speaks volumes about the impact this place has had on my health and well-being. What makes it even better is that this academy is now a part of our whole family's life. My wife trains here, along with our 8-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter. The boost in their confidence, discipline, and personal growth has been incredible to witness. If you're looking for a place to transform your health, build real confidence, and grow as a person--and even as a family--Gracie Barra is it. Highly recommend.

    My daughters started BJJ here in January and I could not be more impressed. The coaches are…read morefantastic - they are kind, clear and so personable with kids. They remember their names, intentionally connect and provide incredible instruction. These guys know their stuff and communicate it into teaching so well. My girls have come so far with BJJ in just a few months and Gracie's is their favorite place to be (we go almost every day!). They learn so much every single class and have gained a ton of confidence and strength in themselves. I have several friends (adults) who attend classes here too and love it. Trying it for myself next week. I cannot recommend this gym and the coaches enough!

    Women: take this class! It was half information: how to avoid confrontation, what to do if you…read morecan't avoid it, situational awareness, and tools you can use to protect yourself. The other half was learning and practicing moves to defend yourself. Rebecca and her assistant were super professional but also really friendly and accessible. We were all newbies and some of us (me) were really clueless and nervous, but they were so patient and efficient and clear with their instructions I felt really safe and supported. We all got to practice our moves with a dummy (Dave!) and with the teachers, and they made sure we got them right before we moved on. I left the class feeling confident, like I was more prepared and capable to handle threatening situations. I couldn't recommend this class more! Thank you so much to Rebecca and her assistant (whose name I somehow forgot again, I'm so sorry! You are so cool and amazing!) I was so impressed and inspired, I hope to see you all again at a future class.

    Rebecca is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and passionate instructor! I took the Urban Self-defense…read morecourse and learned a variety of helpful tips. The best part is that Rebecca goes over different self-defense methods so that you can figure out what feels the best for you. I have always been one to be proactive rather than reactive, so this class helped me overcome some fears. I hope I will never have to used the skills that Rebecca showed me, but I'm glad I know them for when the situation arises.

    This is an incredibly exceptional place. We were pleasantly surprised with Sensei John's unique…read moreapproach and continue to be very happy with what he provides to our son. A lot of the emphasis is on body movement and awareness. That means a lot of tumbling and agility exercises mixed in with self defense and karate. There's usually a competition for each session. The variety of the competitions - sumo, rope swing, dodgeball, freeze, belt grab, etc - is an example of how well rounded the entire program is. One of the truly great things about Elite is that kids are taught to instruct other kids. Every kid that stays long enough eventually becomes a sensei. Our six year old son started teaching about six months in. We love this! What better way to teach kids leadership, confidence, respect, social skills and more. All of this is to the credit of the great sensei that runs Elite. Sensei John is calm, upbeat, unflappable and definitely one of a kind. He talks to children with enthusiasm and treats them like more than "just a kid". As such, he gets the attention of his students without a loud voice or strong commands. The kids all want to do well for him and for themselves. It should be noted that if you're looking for a tough, strict and very regimented karate environment, this might not be the place for you. Your child will learn a lot at Elite but it's not going to be through military-style training you see at other schools. I could go on and on and on. Our son loves this place. We have the highest amount of respect for Sensei John. You must check it out for yourself!
