I was in the area to fly out of SFO the following day and wanted to get some training in before leaving out. Very friendly people and the professor/coach was very welcoming. Smaller gym so you don’t feel out of place. Will def be back when I’m in the area.

First I want to start off with the professor himself. Wauriman is the most respectful, humble and polite person I have had the pleasure to train under. His charisma and pride in the art motivates us and brings the best out of each one of us on the mat. Second is the amount of experience around the gym and I have gotten to train with. There is so much knowledge in here that everyone no matter what belt class they are supports and helps each other a real family atmosphere. I am honored to be a part of this group and would recommend any one who is just starting to come give it a try let be for cardio, self defense or even just to understand the art itself. -Rob

There is nothing like learning from a true master of the martial arts! Prof. Wauriman is not only a Black Belt World Champion in Jiu Jitsu but he also won the USA Karate National Championship in the Black Belt OPEN DIVISION as well! There is a true sense of camaraderie in his academy among his students that comes from the top down. Wauriman is a true scholar (math major in college) and a gentleman (soft-spoken with impeccable manners). He is a renaissance man who is a pilot and boat skipper among many other things. All are welcome to his academy so don't miss your opportunity to learn from the best! Another bonus is that there is a great dumpling restaurant right below his dojo as well as a hip sushi joint just 50 feet away. So you can hit these places after training.

Great gym with ample space, culture, ability to teach and of course excellent Jiu Jitsu. Professor Wauriman is an excellent coach and a person. He is a true martial artist at heart with extensive experience in bjj (many competitions under his belt) and karate. Most importantly, he has a great mindset and attitude that extends beyond his skills as a teacher. Moreover, people in this gym are technical with lots of variety of talent (many different body types and levels) and students maintain a great culture that are devoted to making you better (very open to questions, concerns and improvements). I would recommend this gym for anyone, hobbyist or competitor!

Brazilian Jitsu Dojo is an excellent place to learn and practice the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Master Wariman, with his enormous experience, gives us the teachings of Jiu-Jitsu with quality that we also apply to our lives. I can only be grateful for the strengthening and peace that this place brought me. Oss!
