"Fantastic instructor. Professor Cris really knows what he is talking about, not to mention he is great with kids. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! No one will try to smash you in here, it's about learning with many high belts to learn from. Simply a great place! The place I'll miss the most in San Tracy."Omar Qaddoumi

"I just had the privilege of training at Charles Gracie BJJ and it was truly an honor. The professors and students are some of the most welcoming and friendliest people I have met in the BJJ world. But don't let the friendliness fool you, because they are tough as nails."Matt L

"I usually train at the Charles Gracie/BAFA academy in Hayward, but recently had the privilege to attend a couple classes here. My first impression of the school is that the place is immaculate. Very clean and tidy, just how a Jiu-Jitsu school should be. The instructors are pretty awesome! Cristiano is the head black belt instructor and is doing a great job leading the classes."Mark V.

We take our child here and are extremely happy with their progress under Professor Cristiano and the CGSM coaches. Not only in Jiu-Jitsu, also their growth into a young person who knows how to respect others while having confidence in themselves.Michael D. Healy

You can't do any better. The Charles Gracie network of academies means that several different black belts show up to help train. Cristiano is the head professor and he does a great job. Over the last several years I have seen more shy and timid kids begin, only to become confident leaders. Kids who are either bullied or just lack self-confidence truly learn the values of hard work, discipline, and respect.Jason S.
