I had the pleasure of teaching a seminar at San Lorenzo BJJ this past weekend. The school is easy to find and located in a plaza with some great food options. Everything was immaculate and very spacious. Manny was an amazing host. I look forward to returning soon!

I have been going to San Lorenzo Jiu Jitsu since March 2025 and I have learned so much. When I started, I had no experience at all and Manny ( instructor) and other students were very welcoming and helpful. The environment of the gym is very safe and you feel comfortable very quick and I would highly recommend anyone who is interested to check out this gym.

Highly Recommend BJJ gym in the East Bay! San Lorenzo BJJ is an excellent program. Great for beginners and seasoned grapplers alike. Manny is a great instructor who provides clear and informative classes. The community that's been cultivated here is welcoming and kind. Everyone is incredibly supportive and friendly. I've been attending here since May 2024 and I've grown so much not only as a beginner Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, but as a person as well.
