About Vallejo CTC

# Vallejo CTC

At Vallejo CTC, we are proud members of the Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers network, which means we uphold the highest standards of instruction rooted in authentic Gracie lineage and methodology. Our affiliation ensures that every instructor on our mats has been vetted and certified to teach the fundamental principles that have made Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu effective for over a century. We don't just teach techniques—we teach the Gracie way of thinking about positioning, leverage, and problem-solving that transforms how students approach the art. This certification is a commitment we make to our community that what happens on our mats is legitimate, progressive, and grounded in proven fundamentals.

Our training philosophy centers on building confident, resilient people through consistent mat time and personalized instruction. We believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, regardless of age, size, or athletic background, and we've designed our programs to reflect that inclusivity. From our fundamentals classes where beginners learn the essential positions and escapes, to our advanced gi and no-gi programs for competitors, we scale instruction to meet students where they are. We emphasize drilling, live rolling, and the slow, deliberate refinement of technique over flashy moves. Our instructors create an environment where students feel safe to fail, learn, and grow—because that's where real development happens.

Whether you're stepping on the mats for the first time or you're a seasoned grappler, Vallejo CTC welcomes you into our ohana. We've built a community that values respect, patience, and the journey as much as the destination. Come train with us and experience Gracie Jiu-Jitsu the way it's meant to be taught.
