Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy

Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy in Brentwood is led by Professor Crosley Gracie, a third-generation member of the Gracie family who has spent more than two decades building the academy’s presence in Northern California. The coaching staff extends beyond Crosley himself, with experienced black belts including third-degree instructors Justin Hoglund and Ryan Murphy plus additional senior professors on the mat. The current program includes gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, fundamentals, kids training, wrestling and Muay Thai, with open mat and drop-ins also represented. The academy’s depth of black-belt instruction is one of its strongest practical advantages: students are not relying on a single famous surname while the rest of the coaching is anonymous. For grapplers around Brentwood, Oakley and Antioch, the academy is particularly relevant to people who value direct Gracie-family instruction but still want a locally established school with its own long-term coaching team. Crosley’s family lineage gets attention, but the mature instructor roster is what gives the academy day-to-day substance.
