I believe this is the third training school that me and my son has ever been (around town) and this is the only environment where we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere which is pretty essential in these types of combat activities. We also liked the idea that it is family-owned so they also treat you like a family. The facility is neat and their passion and dedication towards the craft is beyond compare. Also very inspiring from how they started to managing where they are now. I remember the same thing about a decade ago where l also finally found the training school that l was comfortable with and grown to love. This feels like home🤍

Such a great place for kids! The environment feels very safe, and the instructors (shout out to sensei miro & wifey) are patient, friendly, and professional. My son was welcomed right away and looks forward to every class. The staff truly care about the kids, not just teaching jiu-jitsu but also building confidence and respect. I’m so glad we enrolled him here, it’s been nothing but a positive experience!

I have been taking my son and daughter to this school for ~4 years, and the experience has been excellent. They started in the Gracie Bullyproof program, where they learned BJJ self-defense techniques and verbal assertiveness. Miro and Nikki are qualified and patient instructors, who provide a safe environment. My son is now in the Gracie Combatives & Master Cycle programs, and he truly enjoys the art of Jiu-Jitsu!! Highly recommend this school.

My 6-year-old son loves Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Vallejo! The instructors not only teach solid jiu-jitsu skills, but also focus on building character, confidence, and respect. They do an excellent job teaching kids how to stand up for themselves in a positive way and how not to be bullied. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and fun. I definitely recommend this place for any parent looking for more than just martial arts training—it’s a great investment in your child’s growth.

Both my 16 year old daughter and I are in the combatives program at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Vallejo and we absolutely love it. Miro is an amazing jiu jitsu instructor. Top notch! He makes sure you learn the details. Drills the moves over and over and offers clarification on the finer points/details throughout the instruction. Not intimidating, but instead welcoming. You feel like you just made a good friend when you join and he is eager to see you succeed. His supportive nature permeates the classes and everyone is supporting each other. Nikki is the same - absolutely amazing, smart, friendly, and also an amazing instructor of jiu jitsu. I love this place!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Vallejo. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Vallejo welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Vallejo train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
