    Review is for the kids jiujitsu class.
    My 11 yr old son has been training with instructor Eduardo Fraga at Ralph Gracie for over 2 yrs now. The kids class usually has between 10 and 20 kids each class and the class is rarely overcrowded. Some times more or less depending on the time of year, day or the week, etc. Kids can train up to 5 days a week, which is encouraged, but not necessary. Eduardo encourages competition, but kids are not required to compete.

    My child trains 2-3 days a week. Currently the kids class is taught by Eduardo and 1-3 assistant instructors. I think a different instructor (Newton) teaches on Wed. Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri is gi training, Wed is no-gi. Open mat is on the weekends and has given me a chance to come and train with my son.

    A typical class will start with a warm-up, followed by instruction and drilling of a technique and finished with some 'sparring'. Usually 1 type of technique is focused on in a given week, so as long as you make 1 class a week (regularly) you will be exposed to the breadth of techniques taught. The same techniques (or variations) are revisited over time.

    The dojo has seating for parents to watch their child in class.

    It's amazing how much he and other kids have progressed. He has also made a couple of close friends on the mat. There is a good mix of kids with various levels of experience as well as new comers. Most of the kids are aged 9 to 12 yrs old, particularly the ones that keep training for longer periods of time. I'm an experienced martial artist and I watch how the class is taught as well as how many of the kids progress over time. It's great to see them develop both in their technique but also their attitude. I hope my child continues into his teenage years.

    Came in as a complete novice a year and a half ago, and I've been every week since then. Love this place. Great beginner classes to get you started, then lots of helpful black belts around who can help when you're ready to go deeper. Genuinely friendly community. Tough competitors. Eduardo is a beast.

    My kids and I have been training here over 5 years, and I can't say enough about how great the staff and facilities are. Plenty of classes, great instruction, lots of experienced sparring partners!

    I can't say enough good things about Ralph Gracie Berkeley. I started my jiujitsu journey here 2+ years ago as a complete beginner and I will definitely continue to train here as long as I live in the area. I'm learning from a top notch head instructor (5th degree black belt) and getting better all the time, but more importantly I'm supported by a great group of teammates who are loyal, unselfish and dedicated. There is something here for everyone -- people of all levels, all different goals, and all different backgrounds. We could use some more white belts beginners for me to beat up, errrrrr...train with!!!
