JG ACADEMY - LOS ALTOS

I've been attending JG Academy in Los Altos for about five months now. It's a great school. I tried a couple of other BJJ schools in the area before settling on JG. Ultimately, it was a gut decision based on Omar's high quality instruction, and great attitude, during my trial classes. (Also, it was the only school to allow multiple trial classes.) He's great at taking it slow and pointing out the important details. This gut decision definitely panned out.I've mostly attended fundamentals classes which Omar teaches. The fundamentals repeatedly cycle through 10 weeks of material. It provides you a good opportunity for repetition of your fundamental techniques. Classes are structured in the typical way. Over the course of an hour you warm up, learn a technique, and then roll (spar) for maybe 20 minutes.Overall, the instruction is good, and generally everyone is welcoming. I highly recommend this school.

I recently moved to the Bay Area and was looking for a BJJ gym to continue my training. The most important things to me were quality of instruction and sense of community at the gym, and I can comfortably say that JG Academy is exceeding my expectations in both of those categories. All the instructors are clearly very knowledgeable and skilled BJJ practitioners, everyone at the gym is respectful and friendly, and there are good training opportunities for all skill levels. The gym is also really clean and has nice facilities. I would highly recommend JG Academy in Los Altos for anyone looking to get into BJJ or continue their training in the Bay!

They have created such an amazing culture here. Everyone is extremely kind and supportive. How the instructors manage to make everyone feel included and welcomed during even the fullest of classes is truly impressive.I am new to Jiu Jitsu and have enjoyed instructor Omar’s fundamentals classes. He is very patient but will also challenge and push you out of your comfort zone. I would highly recommend to people of all experience levels!

The JG Academy Los Altos is an amazing gym to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Bay Area. Top tier instructors and training partners. They offer morning, noon, afternoon, and weekend classes. If you are on the fence, definitely come by and drop in for a class!

Can’t say enough about this place. Jerome and Javier opened their gym to me and made me feel at home while I was in town for business. Lanistae has great, high level coaching and some very tough dudes ( and gals ). This is the perfect place for beginners and competitors alike.

High level practitioners that are dedicated to teaching the art! Friendly community. Shout outs to Milton and Bruce!

Jiu Jitsu is not something I never imagined I would be doing in my 30's but I am so happy my boyfriend convinced me to take a class with Milton! Jiu jitsu has strengthened my mental toughness, confidence, and physical abilities for the better. You are part of a family at Lanistae Academy and learning from a multi title world champion. Don't waste your time going anywhere else!

Been training here since I went to Cali. 6 months already. Milton cares about all his students driving hours in his time off just to watch his students compete. I highly recommend joining or dropping in if you are in the area for a short while!

Excellent school. I have been there for 18 months now, and I love it. Milton has a gift at teaching BJJ. His instructions are very clear, and he can spot and point out little details that really make a difference

This place checks all of the boxes. You’re being trained by world champion competitors who are also world class instructors. The training environment is clean and safe. Most importantly, the team and the culture they set up is welcoming and consists of the friendliest bunch of people you’ll ever meet. From a guy starting starting this journey in his late thirties, joining is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
