From the reviews
Trying to lose weight? Get back in shape? Improve your stand up or learn the true art of BJJ? Look no further!! Crispim BJJ is the best MMA spot in the bay. The vibe is second to none. The bond between members and coaches is something I’ve never seen nor experienced before.
We’ve been sending our son here for over 2 years. Crispim and his staff are wonderful with kids. They put the effort to show genuine care and attention with each kid. Great balance of teaching JJS, discipline, etc. while keeping it fun and joyful. Would definitely recommend for any kids!
I had the pleasure of dropping in for a gi class with Coach Demetri while in the Bay area for a weekend a few months back (apologies for the delayed review!). Drove out from Berkely to roll with an old friend who trains there. Had a great experience. Super friendly and welcoming vibe.
Our 3 boys started doing muay thai and jiu jitsu. We have been into other facilities trying to find a place, but knew we found it from the moment we walked into Crispim. Crispim and the other instructors are top notch and have created a welcoming, family-like culture, where everyone can train and learn.
New to muay thai? Start at Crispim BJJ Barra Brothers
Crispim BJJ Barra Brothers comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Crispim BJJ Barra Brothers
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
