From the reviews
After trying out a few different BJJ gyms, this is the spot. Dom and Scott are amazing coaches. Dom's instruction is clear and his ability to point out the subtlest nuances in every move is incredible.
Dom Hoskins has created a safe and welcoming environment for anyone interested in training Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu. My four-year-old son, my eight-year-old daughter, my husband in his thirties, and myself, a woman in my thirties, have all been able to find great joy in learning this sport.
This is an outstanding gym! The Culture is second to none - clearly a local business designed to have a positive impact on the community. The Jiu Jitsu technique is high level and tailored to any belt level.
Some of the best Jiu Jitsu instruction you can get in the North Bay Area. Highly recommend for fitness, self defense, and competition level training.
New to BJJ? Start at Dominat10n Jiu Jitsu
Dominat10n Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, 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 or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. 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, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Dominat10n Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ 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 basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, 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.
