From the reviews
There is nothing like learning from a true master of the martial arts! Prof. Wauriman is not only a Black Belt World Champion in Jiu Jitsu but he also won the USA Karate National Championship in the Black Belt OPEN DIVISION as well!
First I want to start off with the professor himself. Wauriman is the most respectful, humble and polite person I have had the pleasure to train under. His charisma and pride in the art motivates us and brings the best out of each one of us on the mat.
I have been training with Professor Wauriman for a few months, and I have progressed so much within a short period time. There are many purple/black belts who are extremely helpful and supportive.
Brazilian Jitsu Dojo is an excellent place to learn and practice the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Master Wariman, with his enormous experience, gives us the teachings of Jiu-Jitsu with quality that we also apply to our lives. I can only be grateful for the strengthening and peace that this place brought me. Oss!
New to BJJ? Start at Wauriman Borges Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - San Bruno
Wauriman Borges Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - San Bruno comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Wauriman Borges Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - San Bruno
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.
