BJJ in Oakland

Oakland has 13 BJJ academies including **Ralph Gracie Oakland**, **10th Planet Oakland**, and several Carlson Gracie-affiliated gyms (Supreme MMA, Armada MMA, traceable to one Bay Area Carlson black belt: Diogo Gomes). Oakland sits across the Bay from SF along the I-580/I-880 corridor. The mix of established lineage chain affiliates plus East Bay independents gives locals real choice. Most academies run kids programs. For more options, Berkeley (10 minutes north) and Alameda (5 minutes south) both add additional academies.
