I paid for one month in cash up front. A few days later I bought boxing gloves with a credit card. Without my knowledge, they retained my credit card information and then charged that card $200 a few weeks later for another month of membership. When I called to request a refund they refused. Take your money to a business that behaves more honorably.

I had the privilege of training at this BJJ gym for 5 months before I relocated, and I can't say enough positive things about my experience. Marcos Yunes, an instructor with a solid background from Ralph Gracie, leads the classes. One of the standout features of this gym is the well-balanced mix of gi and no-gi classes, catering to a variety of preferences. They offer beginner-focused classes where fundamental techniques are emphasized, as well as a competition focused class on Wednesdays. There isnt an excessive amount of time spent on warm-ups which I really appreciate. Finding parking is easy which was the reason I initially chose this gym. What I appreciated most was the inclusive atmosphere with a diverse group of practitioners, including white belts and upper belts. Marcos adapts the class content to the attendees and their skill levels, ensuring that everyone gets valuable training. Marcos also takes extra care with new beginners, often setting them aside and providing them with a solid foundation in basic fundamentals. Hygiene is a top priority here, with mats cleaned before every session. Additionally, the presence of a spacious changing room, a rare find in the city, and the option to rent lockers for a nominal fee enhance the overall gym experience. Overall, I can confidently give this gym a well-deserved 5-star rating. It's a fantastic place to train and grow in your BJJ journey, with excellent instruction, diverse class offerings, and a commitment to cleanliness and convenience. I will come back and train as a guest whenever Im in SF!
