TL;DR: Great gym for gi and no-gi. Mats are great, there are showers, environment is inviting, instructors are top notch.
Ralph Gracie Jiu Jitsu San Francisco is a great gym. The mat space is very large. There are showers for bathing after training sessions!
I travel sometimes and make time to visit gyms when I do, but I’m happy to call this place my home gym.
First, the skill level of BJJ players there is great. There isn’t much dogma, or constraints to learning, people love the sport and art and authentically strive to be better. It doesn’t feel “competitive”, but rather, gym members

I love coming to Jerry and Rhalan's classes - they're hard and also make me want to learn more and more. The culture is supportive and welcoming and doesn't take itself too seriously, but also a good amount of order and structure and respect. The instructors and fellow students are great at pushing me to learn new things and realize my limits were in my head.
Recently the curriculum has gotten even better with the focus on street applications and takedowns.

Stopped in at Ralph's for some excellent training while in town for a couple days. Amazing experience. Great vibe at the gym. Really great training partners and highly skilled. I got submitted a bunch which is what I was hoping for - a challenge. I'll definitely come back anytime I'm in this city. Kurt is a real character. Loved this place.

Always a great experience at Ralph Gracie BJJ in San Francisco. Kurt is a great teacher and his personality is encouraging and inspiring. This is also the same with all his students. Even the very experienced guys are always friendly and willing to drill with lower grade students to help them learn. I'll always go train there when I'm in SF. Thanks to all at Ralph Gracie BJJ
