Capoeira School San Jose Near Me

Fernando Romero: Incredible place to workout and learn. It has the necessary tools for a BJJ gym and the people there are welcoming. The only downside is parking. However, if you arrive 30min before class, it should be easier to find a spot.

Dennis Weaver: I had an amazing experience at Caio Terra Academy! Grateful to Don and the rest of the team for their hospitality in letting me drop in while I was in town. The coaches were knowledgeable, the facility is top-notch, and the training environment extremely welcoming.Five stars for a memorable and positive experience and I will be stopping in to roll anytime I am in town.

Dave K: Best place to train in the Bay Area. Caio is a wizard and a visionary and Nick runs a tight ship. Great for beginners, complete noobs and world class jiu jitsu players alike. Very welcoming gym that caters to all skill levels. Caio really cares about your progress as a student. I am always amazed at his ability to remembers your name, even if he’s only spoken to you once or twice. Clean and modern facilities. Bring back the Kombucha tap!

Charles R: is the jiu jitsu gym to be at when you visit the Bay Area. I travelled to CTA from Australia for a camp and could not recommend it enough for international, interstate or local visitors. This gym has everything you need, from world class instructors who actually teach the class, like Caio Terra and Mason Fowler themselves, to a dedicated space for weightlifting and cardio.There is tons of mat space for jiu jitsu, with multiple classes run each day catering to all levels and ages, from kids to adults looking to get fit or to get an introduction to the sport, to intermediate athletes and high levelled competitors.There is a community like vibe when you attend classes and it is very easy to make friends at this gym. There are no egos in this gym. I came here not knowing anyone else and will be leaving with fun memories and friends that I will stay in touch with for a lifetime.Thank you CTA and all of the staff for your hospitality and I look forward to returning in the future when I am back in the Bay Area!

jle: They have a welcoming culture and great teachers. Definitely newbie-friendly but they also offer advanced classes for growth.

Kasia Watkins: What a great place for the kids to learn the JJ techniques, discipline while having fun. It's so wonderful and it's such an honor to be a part of the Ciao Terra family!

Mareike Joe: This review is for the Kids Jiu Jitsu and CT FIT classes. The review is long overdue and if I could rate this place 10 stars, I would. My son started Jiu Jitsu here 4 years ago when he was 4 years old. At the time, I didn’t know anything about the sport. Instead I was just looking for an exhausting activity for him in a fun, safe environment. CTA was the perfect fit. The coaches here are passionate about the sport and have lots of experience to share with their students.Jiu Jitsu has been amazing for my son. First, classes are such confidence boosters - which make him an undesirable target for bullies anywhere. Second, post pandemic, a lot of kids need some help with social emotional development. This place hits the spot. The classes have an excellent mix of ages and skill levels, and everyone is learning how to interact respectfully. Third, the coaches foster an environment of belonging and friendly competition. The reward is learning a new skill/technique and growing as a person not the color of your belt.Now, one of my absolute favorite things is CT FIT. The scheduling is perfect for parents having their kids in Jiu Jitsu because the CT FIT classes are at the same time!! They also offer morning classes on most days. The equipment is top notch and the coaches are committed and professional. Taking these classes has been instrumental in my recovery from injuries. The coaches have been nothing but supportive and helping me adjust the workouts to my level. Although I have seen a bunch of gyms and trainers in the past, nothing compares to CT FIT. I enjoy the small group training atmosphere with students of all ages and abilities. It’s super!

Dean Sherrell: The BJJ journey is one that is as individual as the practitioner. It is amazing to have a team of peers as well as coaches so engaged to help make that journey take the route you want and are willing to work towards. This can only be accomplished by having a leader at the top creating such an inclusive culture. One Team, One Family!

Mehdi Kousha: I had the pleasure of training at Caio Terra BJJ, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The expertise and dedication of the instructors are truly remarkable. The atmosphere in the gym is both welcoming and challenging, creating the perfect environment for growth and improvement.The technical knowledge and attention to detail in their teaching make it a fantastic place for both beginners and advanced practitioners. The curriculum is well-structured, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.Furthermore, the camaraderie among the students is outstanding. You'll find a supportive and friendly community that motivates you to push your boundaries and reach your full potential.I can confidently say that Caio Terra BJJ deserves a solid 5-star rating for their commitment to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the development of their students. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a beginner, this is the place to be for high-quality training and a welcoming community.

baris evrim demiroz: . As a hobbyist I really don't like this rule. Most of the other people that I talked to doesn't like this policy too.Update: It started getting crowded. Especially I feel like the mat space is usually not enough during nogi classes.

Adrian Whitford: Amazing club. Great instruction, friendly people. Perfect 😊

Holy Scythe: Stellar Jiu Jitsu School. If You know, You Know. If You don’t, they’ll help You figure it out. Don’t miss an Opportunity to Train with some of the Greatest Minds to ever Do It.

Oz Ozel: Excellent academy! Before pandemic both my kids and I used to train here. Caio and all coaches are fantastic! Everybody is respectful and friendly. I'm looking forward to returning this year!

KA H: and pre-existing injuries. I even opted to take a second class directly after my first. If you're in the San Jose area, make sure to stop by the academy; you'll definitely have fun and will also learn a ton.

Karan Srivastava: CTA is a fantastic, really positive place to learn jiujitsu in a motivating environment. Professor Caio, Nick, Gabriel, and all the instructors and members create and environment where every student feels welcome, comfortable asking questions, challenge themselves to whatever degree they want, and just have fun. I’ve been training for a few months at a different CTA location and stopped by for some classes while I was in San Jose, and whether it’s at HQ or elsewhere, I’m always grateful for the positive atmosphere all the CTA instructors and members create every time I’ve gone. With that, a truly rich curriculum, and mindful pedagogical practices, I can’t recommend CTA enough to anyone interested in learning jiujitsu at any level.

Mason Fowler: Best JiuJitsu in the area by far. Whether you’re a beginner or a black belt, CTA has the perfect program for you!

Ali “I’mshort” Vlog: Respect

Bakhtyar Ahmadzai: Khabib

Shohobiddin Abduahadov: Shakhobiddin

Alex Mashrabov: Authentic

Firdaws “The Persian Nightmare” Khalim: Best gym

Karina Rivera: Most reviews are from people outside the US and just saying they wish to be here. Well I'll be going in tomorrow to see the place for my two kids. I'll updateUpdate. My two kids are now attending four days per week. The coach is hard and I like that because they will learn discipline. My 5 year old looks forward for class everyday.

Sirozhidin VALIEV (UZBEK): 👍

ABDUL AZIZ: Khabib, Islam, Omar

Said Albayrak: Would like train and/or spectate there if it is available. Honestly, I thrive to witness how golden era of mma is getting prepared. Kudos to everyone who works there!

Mai Tran: My 7 yr old has been taking MMA classes here for the last 2 months. He loves it! Coach Wayne is tough but good. The facility is more rundown especially during Covid but the staff is friendly. Most importantly my son is having fun, getting a good workout, learning real fighting techniques and also being disciplined. Pricing is also competitive which is a plus!

Victoria Toda: During lockdown, I took a few classes with Tandez Academy, and I had so much fun! They have a great deal for new members, and they take the time to teach you the basics and make sure you understand the concepts. My classmates were all so helpful, too! It is a great community. 3

Joseph Timbol: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI have been training for 5+ years at TAMA and my son for almost 2 years and we’ve never been happier! Sifu Adrian teaches reality based self defense through Jeet Kune Do and many other styles. The environment is friendly, positive, encouraging and safe! I would highly recommend TAMA!

Luis Manuel Lopez Ortega: In my opinion and with 11 years of experience in martial arts, Tandez academy is one of the best martial arts schools in the world since Sifu Adrian and his team of instructors have a very high level as martial artists, totally recommended for anyone, Since they give you excellent treatment whether as a visitor or as a student, it should be noted that it is one of the few schools in which they truly train martial artists with the values, skills, attitudes and aptitudes that characterize a true martial artist!

Bernard Hsiung: I have been a regular at the Academy for some time now, and I feel it has greatly improved both my health and my understanding of martial arts. Sifu Tandez is a patient and diligent teacher. Highly recommended!

P Kent: . I have probably studied every "concept" out there. In the higher forms, there is a blending

Josh LoBue: The best training in the Bay Area. Sifu Adrian is a talented teacher and the school has committed students. The school is a great and supportive environment for learning.

Eric Gao: I have had the privilege of training here with SiFu Tandez at the school for 3 years now, and I can’t recommend Tandez Academy enough. SiFu Tandez is extremely knowledgeable in the several martial arts taught here, and there is an incredible sense of community among the students and instructors.By coming here, you would have the rare opportunity to train in Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Silat, and Muay Thai - all of which are highly effective, and practical martial arts. What’s even more important, in my opinion, is that SiFu Tandez, his instructors, and his students all help provide a safe, welcoming, and fun environment to learn these martial arts. Personally, I have learned so much during my time here and my experience here has positively changed who I am as a martial artist and as a person.

Mark Whelan: I came here after a break from training, the team are warm, helpful, and highly skilled.Love this place, so happy to train there.

Fernando Alonso Blazquez: I've been coming to Tandez Academy for 8 months so far and I can't recommend it highly enough! I had been practising Karate for many years in many different places. When I moved to the Bay Area I wanted to try something different, with more practical application. I decided to pay a visit to Tandez Academy, best decision ever!Sifu Adrian Tandez not only masters all the disciplines he teaches but he also has a great ability to transmit them to his students. His teaching method is very effective, he is warm and you can tell that he truly cares about your development. Other instructors and senior students are also deeply involved in teaching and really help you advance with a lot of 1:1 time, especially when you are new to the practice.I also appreciate the great variety of disciplines available like Kali, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, etc. It allows you to find your way and enjoy the path.I started attending classes two or three times a week, but I liked it so much that I'm now attending 6 days a week! In class, time flies... you not only learn a lot each time but there is also place for fun! Sifu Adrian Tandez has created a really welcoming environment, everyone is friendly and easygoing.I'm very satisfied because I notice very significant improvements in reflexes, coordination and awareness. Now I feel much more confident that I would know how to react in a real life situation.In summary, Tandez Academy is a great place to learn, exercise and also have fun!

Katherine Cañeba: has a deep and comprehensive curriculum. The Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do taught here are also geared towards practical self-defense. This place has it all, plus Muay Thai

David Castro: If you are looking for the best all-inclusive martial arts school in the Bay Area, you just found it. I attended my first free week of classes back in 2008. I was blown away after seeing the instructor demonstrate JKD Bruce Lee trapping, Kali stick and knife hostage disarms and Silat take-down self-defense techniques. It’s now 2015 and I’m still going strong training every week.Sifu Adrian Tandez is a dedicated passionate instructor. Whether you’re new to martial arts, have previous martial arts experience, young or old, everyone is welcome and will benefit immensely from Tandez Academy training.Try it out. Since you can train for one week free of charge, there is really nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Needless to say, I highly recommend the instructor and the school.

Ronald Balisi: ; through the tournaments; and even some school events we made like playing bowling, and the whole day picnic event we held last year. That was a lot of fun!!As I have progressed through, I have gained confidence, more knowledge of the art and self-defense, more friends/great memories, and great experiences, but most of all I am having fun!
