Jiu Jitsu and Dreams

Jiu Jitsu and Dreams in Antioch, California, is led by Professor Chris Vickers, a black belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu with additional gi credentials from New Creation Wrestling & Jiu Jitsu. Chris has developed his skills under Professor Alex Canders of 10th Planet Walnut Creek and Professor Rich Goodwin, combining no-gi innovation with traditional gi fundamentals. A native of Pittsburg and Antioch, he brings a deep connection to the local martial arts scene and a focus on building a strong jiu jitsu presence in the East Bay.

The facility is wheelchair accessible, reflecting an attention to practical accessibility. Students are expected to maintain proper hygiene and wear appropriate training attire, with gi uniforms available for borrowing by newcomers.
