Vitor is an exceptional teacher with such a mastery of knowledge of jiu-jitsu. Each morning, Vitor gifts us with such meticulous jiu-jitsu details. He watches us and advises us so patiently. Vitor skillfully arranges training partners to challenge the competitors and protect those with injuries so that everybody can work hard, improve their jiu-jitsu, and learn. Caio invests so much time and energy into making precise videos for our learning. I really appreciate how much he cares about our jiu-jitsu. The academy is really the cleanest, nicest academy I’ve ever trained in. Caio even put ergonomic chairs and desks for us to study and places for families to sit. He cares about the environment very much. He even had the team create a wall after a truck drove into the academy, just to make sure that nobody missed training, which is so important for our mental and physical health. Is your gi still wet from training the day before? Did your best floofy buddy submit your gi? Don’t worry — there are loaner gis for you to borrow. Just get to the academy and train.
I was in town for work and looking for a place to train when I realized Caio Terra’s headquarters was nearby. I dropped in for a day and had an awesome experience. Mason Fowler was teaching the no gi class and the instruction was top level. Everyone was welcoming and the rolls were fun and challenging. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in town again. Thank you!
I dropped in for a couple of their morning classes while I was in town for work. The academy was very clean and the people were phenomenal. They welcomed me as if I was already a member of the academy. The classes were very well organized and the material was very well taught. Highly recommend dropping in on a class if you’re coming into town for a few days or if you’re just looking to start training. Quality facility and quality training. Made me wish I lived in the area so I could train here regularly. Thanks for a great experience!
I’ve been training here for about two years now, and I absolutely love it. The structure and curriculum are top-notch, and the coaches are incredibly detail-oriented, giving plenty of individual attention to help you nail your technique. Easily one of the best spots in the Bay Area for BJJ! The community is amazing too—everyone, from the coaches to the front desk team, is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!
My daughter and I dropped in for Friday night No Gi class while out of town. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Professor Mason and the whole Caio Terra Academy HQ for all their hospitality. Such a clean, well run school full of knowledgeable instructors and kind students. Good, clean, fun rounds and excellent instruction. We will definitely return.
