BJJ Gyms in Dublin, United States

Ava Jiu-Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy founded on the core values of Friendship, Truth, and Improvement. These principles guide the academy's community, fostering unity, honesty, and continuous growth in all aspects of training and life. The name AVA embodies these values, symbolizing the academy's commitment to mutual respect, ethics, and personal development. At Ava Jiu-Jitsu, practitioners learn that Jiu-Jitsu is more than a fighting technique—it's a philosophy of life centered on self-defense, teamwork, and continuous learning. The academy offers world-class instruction in a welcoming environment where all skill levels are embraced. Programs are available for kids, teens, and adults, with structured classes that combine warm-up exercises, technical instruction, sparring, and cool-down stretching. Students develop not only physical fitness and self-defense skills but also discipline, resilience, and confidence. The curriculum teaches practitioners to protect themselves intelligently, grow through teamwork, and embrace humility, turning challenges into opportunities for personal growth. Under the guidance of Professor Filipe Jerry, a world-class black belt instructor trained under the legendary Carlos Gracie Junior, students learn from decades of experience and a passion for high-quality teaching. Professor Jerry empowers students worldwide to not only master Jiu-Jitsu but to become confident and capable in any situation. Ava Jiu-Jitsu operates two locations in the Bay Area: the main facility in Dublin, CA, and classes in Walnut Creek on Mondays and Wednesdays. The academy is currently offering founding member benefits for those who join at the start of this special journey.
