I tried out 2 classes and had a great experience! The community is very welcoming and the coaches are great! Very friendly to complete beginners and also as a woman it was very comfortable and there was no awkwardness. I was trying to find a gym with a similar culture to the one I trained in NJ, and I have found it :)

I had a fantastic few months at Excelsior! I felt welcomed since my first day and learned a lot from Martin and Jyn. The sense of community is great and everyone is very friendly and willing to help each other out with techniques/drills or some pointers during rolls. A lot of members compete too if you’re looking for that. Would highly recommend people check it out.

I met Martin when I started jiujitsu in Los Altos nearly 2 years ago. Martin was the first black belt who took time from his workout to help me out as a complete beginner. I'm very happy to see that he opened his school in Excelsior. If you want to try out something new, I can't recommend him enough!

I was excited to train again with the crew here at Excelsior. The coaches Jyn and Martin are long time training partners of mine and I have nothing but great things to say. It’s a blackbelt wife and husband combination, something extremely unique in this sport and what stands out as something I can only get here at Excelsior. Two different games, two different (but complimentary) perspectives, two different strengths, all rolled into one passion. I have to also mention they compete often and it shows in their instruction (we’re talking Jyn is a literal World Champ and Martin is heavily accomplished himself) Super friendly, they are passionate about this martial art, and deeply care about their students. They used to be in a smaller location before the panorama in Pacifica and since opening here, there’s plenty of students that came up with them. I think that’s testament to the atmosphere they foster. Something I try to shoot for at my own school. I look forward to visiting again and I encourage my own students to make it out and enhance their training by supplementing with Excelsior. Check this place out, you’ll be welcomed with open arms and looked after!
