I have been training here for nearly two years since moving to Oakland. I've tried other local academies and the instruction is absolutely top tier. Eduardo is hands down the best instructor I have encountered in 5 states and five years of practice. Everyone is clenly, friendly, rolls hard and is still mindful of the fact that it's sparring and not the World Martial Arts tournament. All the instructors are knowledgable, and willing to assist you no matter your level. A must visit if you're in town.
Excellent place to train Brazilian jiujitsu! Professor Eduardo is beyond knowledgeable in the art. His instructions are clear and to the point, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Other students are extremely helpful and ready to explain the techniques. Beyond techniques, I feel like this place carries the spirit of the martial art. There's a rare sense of focus, mental clarity, self-control, and resilience. I find it very helpful for life in general.
My coworker (3yrs training, blue belt) and I (13yrs training, black belt) were in Oakland for work for a week and decided to see if there was a spot nearby where we could train in the evenings. Professor Eduardo was probably the friendliest gym owner I've ever done this with. He and the other teachers and students were extremely gracious and welcoming. The warm ups were challenging and thorough, with extensive stretching. The techniques were classic and solid, with good detail and logical iterative variation. Positional drilling followed, and then extensive rolling. Everyone was technical, polite, and controlled while rolling, while keeping up good pressure and pace. No one was trying to rip your head off. Nobody had an ego. 6/5 stars! Exactly the environment all gyms should strive to be fostering. An absolute pleasure. PS: Challenging black belts!
My name is David Meyer and I am one of the first American’s to ever earn a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have taught hundreds of seminars and trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools all around the world. I take every chance I get to recommend and to train at Rocha Jiu Jitsu. Professor Eduardo is a true master. His knowledge and ability to teach is simply the best you can find, and he also builds true internal and external strength in his students. It is unusual to find someone who can teach such a great class, and can also win world championships himself. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is serious about wanting to improve themselves and learn BJJ.
