Antioch Jiu Jitsu

Antioch Jiu Jitsu is guided by Professors Jayson Guevara and Alfredo Varona, both with over 17 years of training under 4th Degree Black Belt Clint Gerona of Charles Gracie Daly City. The academy follows the lineage of the Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Association, tracing back to Grand Master Carlos Gracie Sr., who adapted traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu into a system emphasizing leverage and technique to allow smaller practitioners to defend against larger opponents. This heritage shapes Antioch’s focus on authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu principles, blending self-defense, street awareness, and physical fitness. Students at Antioch Jiu Jitsu experience a learning environment dedicated to practical self-defense skills and confidence building. Classes serve a broad age range, including kids, teens, and adults, with an emphasis on real-world applications rather than sport competition alone. The schedule includes weekday classes and open mat sessions where students can drill and spar freely. Instruction balances fundamentals with progressive skill development, ensuring steady improvement while maintaining the core strategic elements of the Gracie system. The academy’s programming supports physical conditioning and stress relief alongside technical training. Open mat sessions are available for all adult students, providing additional time to refine techniques and prepare for potential challenge scenarios. Antioch Jiu Jitsu operates out of 3182 Contra Loma Blvd, with weekday and weekend hours accommodating various schedules. The school maintains a team culture focused on mutual respect and steady growth within the lineage of one of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s foundational families.
