Have trained here for 2 years and it's the best gym I've ever been to. Coaches are great and friendly, If you're new to bjj or kickboxing they will take the time to show you the ropes. The coaching is unparalleled each, coach has a different style so you will get a very well rounded game.

Lamorinda Jiu Jitsu is an incredible community and owners Steph and Adam along with their wonderful coaches are saving civilization in the work they do with kids, adults, and families. At the heart of Jiujitsu are values rarely spoken of in current times: patience, respect, humility, diligence, perseverance, kindness--among many other virtues. I appreciate that jiujitsu fosters the work of childhood that is wildly anemic in today's culture of long school days, screen time, and loss of touch among kids: kids run, roll, scoot, bear walk, tumble, and play hard with each other under close and trained supervision. Childhood areas of motor planning, gross motor work, vestibular sense, crossing midlines, as well as communication skills and teamwork-- can be huge gains with weekly kids classes. The adult classes are great: the coaches are very encouraging and helpful when you are new. LJJ has changed our lives for the better: kids are more grounded, parenting teenagers is easier, and our family is closer because of it. Thank you Coaches Steph and Adam for your hard work!

The best school I’ve ever been a part of, hands down. Amazing community.

If Kurt Osiander teaches Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:00AM here, I’m joining and I can’t wait.Depending on whether Kurt and Jake went their separate ways, the people that left Ralph to join Empire ought to be ashamed of themselves if they didn’t return to Ralph’s or flock to Lamorinda

Awesome gym, awesome people to train. My son and I love training here! They balance the sessions well between technique and rolling.

My children, ages 7 and 9 attend LaMorinda Juijitsu. The following review, however is not limited to a specific age group, and presents a wide degree of overlap.Coach(es) Stephanie, Moonie, John, Will, and the rest of the lovely team at LaMorinda Juijitsu exude contagious traits that include, but are not limited to, kindness for others and oneself, empathy, patience through tough(er) times, mental toughness and discipline, resilience, inclusivity, a sense of humor, traits that I personally consider, make a person the successful human being ?The coaches are also a very skilled group of instructors. It is truly a unique placement of both worlds. My personal reflections and experiences have usually highlighted an overlap of kindness and success in any facet of life (be it personal or business); and luckily, it is also found in practice at LaMorinda Juijitsu; results such as confidence boosts to progressive skill sets, are very commonly observed there.Notwithstanding the above, I personally believe Coach Stephanie’s leadership has also paved the way to teaching world class Juijitsu skills to our younger generation. I enjoy witnessing her developing the skill set of the myriad of competitors at different levels, while simultaneously harnessing the skills already at their disposal. It is a very organized level of coaching students.I can’t say enough about this organization;I will always send referrals there way, at least within the east bay vicinity. Thank you again LaMorinda Jujitsu. You have made a difference in our family all around.Best regards.

Great Jiu Jitsu school. Everyone (the owners, coaches, and patrons) is friendly, supportive and laid back. Coming in as a newbie was a great learning experience. I'd still be training there if I hadn't moved away from town.

If you are looking for a family friendly, safe training environment, I highly recommend giving this gym a try. Steph and Adam are both amazing coaches whether you are a high level competitor or just a mom/grandma like me who is eager to learn, progress at my own rate, and just plain stay in shape. I have trained at several gyms over the years and I can't recommend this one highly enough!

Great environment, stellar training and attention to detail. No matter what level you are, you will fit in here. I am new to jiu jitsu and everyone here is so welcoming and helpful. It's a great community of people helping people and the instructors are very professional and caring. I highly recommend Lamorinda Jiu Jitsu.

This studio is great. Instructors are awesome. Management is friendly, professional, easy to deal with. My 15-yo son goes here mainly for kickboxing, but occassionally also for JJ. Does the adult sessions which work well for him.

Great gym and better vibes! Whether it's your first day or you've been training for years, this is the place to be. Not only will coach Adam, Steph, and Muny provide fun and high level instruction, all members of the gym are extremely helpful in accomplishing your personal goals giving off a true family feel!
