My son has been coming to Guerilla for what would have been 4 years ( covid 🙄) but we joined in 2017 and it helped him tremendously. He gained so much confidence and absolutely loves his coaches. Coach Chris and coach Mat ( owner) have been huge role models for him and he really looks up to them. Very professional, fun and strict at the same time. They are amazing and we are so grateful to have found this academy.

I have been training here for close to 5 months, a great place to train and learn the art of Jui-Jitsu. The best part of the academy is it's culture and core values, which reflects in the way everyone in the class caries themselves. Irrespective of what prior experience one has in martial arts, or the physique and strength one possesses, the academy offers more than enough opportunities to learn and train.

What a fantastic place to train with incredibly genuine people. I am an SBG 1st degree BJJ blackbelt and MMA coach and have trained in Europe, Asia, and numerous states in the US. Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu is among my absolute favourites. There is a great mix of black belts who roll in a safe and intelligent way. Whilst highly competitive, there is a great deal of respect and friendliness for visitors. It’s professional yet very lad back. Dave Camarillo is an absolute legend within BJJ, Judo and MMA where he’s led the likes of AKA to UFC championships. I can’t recommend it enough.

Trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here for about 2.5 years before I had to leave the Bay Area for SoCal. I also received my blue belt under the owner and instructor, Matt Darcy, who is a black belt in both BJJ and Judo.
Parking: Big lot in the back, but does get packed during night classes. Sometimes you can find a sweet spot just when the parents are leaving after the kid's classes. Alternatively, there is plenty of parking along the streets.
Gym space: Big and clean. The mats are cleaned at least twice a day, once after morning classes and once after evening classes. As of Jan. 2016, they have recently
