Charles Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy - San Mateo

This is a wonderful place to train. Professor Cris is amazing and instruction is top notch. Also a great core group of people train here and are very respectful. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic instructor. Professor Cris really knows what he is talking about not to mention he is great with kids and everyone were very friendly and welcoming! No one will try to smash you in here, it's about learning with many high belts and to learn from, simply a Great place! the place I'll miss the most in San Mateo.

We are extremely happy and satisfied with this academy. The ratio of child to coach is beyond ideal. There is little room for kids to get lost and missed during class. Attention and support is given evenly to all students seems like. This makes for huge difference on the progression of the students and increases the rate of learning. You can tell that they have years of experience and everyone is reaping the rewards. My kids enjoy and look forward to every single class.

Amazing gym to train BJJ!!

I was just staying in the Bay Area for a month and I asked them if I could join the BJJ class. They accepted me as one of them and treated me really well! The people there are super friendly and the technique level is really high! I specially enjoyed the no-Gi class. High level athletes there!

Coach Christiano is a really good BJJ professor, he teaches well, he adapts to each student, and not only he teaches BJJ but also discipline and self-confidence. It is amazing to see how coach Christiano and his team teach BJJ to the kids. The kids have a really good time while they exercise, learn the techniques, make friends and learn how to be better persons.

If you live in San Mateo or are staying in the area for a while and you are interested in BJJ, I would strongly recommend you to at least make a visit to the gym, say hello and try a class. You will definitely not regret it.

Thank you Christiano and the guys at the gym for accepting me and treating me so well. :)
