We have 3 boys, ages 6, 9 and 11 and we have tried several other TAE KWON DO programs. Without…read moredoubt or hesitation, I can say Master Givans has one of the very best TAE KWON DO programs in the entire country. Over the past year and a half, our boys have improved remarkably. Their recent tournament successes are a direct result of Master Givan's training program. Whether you or your child's interest lies in traditional TAE KWON DO, or sport TAE KWON DO, you will not find a more comprehensive and well rounded program than that which Givans TAE KWON DO has to offer. My family and I live in Napa. We commute to Antioch four days a week for training, just the commute takes about three hours there and back. Training under Master Givans is worth every minute of that commute. -Michael N

I am at awe when I watch them with children. They really understand them and the kids are all smiles when they are there. I started a month ago and it is already changing my life. They really break down the combinations we learn during class so you can understand them. I can't wait to go and feel great when I leave. The students there all work well together. We all have different goals and Sifu Tim helps us all accomplish them. I know it would be very difficult to find another place like this. It doesn't matter if you're a man, woman or child you will love this school and most importantly, learn how to defend yourself!

Training with Professor Pedro is like getting a masterclass in the history and application of BJJ…read more I love hearing about his stories of training BJJ back in Brazil. He often shares great stories from the early days of BJJ that really put the journey into perspective. I've been learning from him since October 2025 and his classes are consistently top-notch. He provides a very well-rounded curriculum, covering everything from stand-up takedowns to finishing details for the cross collar choke. What I appreciate most is how he simplifies complex positions - he'll show you a transition or a sweep gives that 'aha' moment because it's so efficient not just on the sweep itself, but also on possible attacks within the sweep. He's a professional, approachable instructor who makes even the most uncomfortable (knee on belly, osoto gari, etc) techniques easy to understand and apply.

I highly recommend Cesar Gracie Academy for children ages 4-6. I have been taking my son here for a…read morelittle over a month and I'm just blown away by the progress he has made under the training of Mr. Gabriel Neves. Mr. Neves is an excellent teacher and trainer of Jiu Jitsu for children and I'm sure for adults as well. His command of the class is amazing. He has the right amount of fun but stern personality that instructs the class well but the kids also understand that there's a serious side to the sport. His approach to teaching children is top-notch and my son is really enjoying it. Lastly, value for the school is amazing. I can take my son to 4-classes a week, Monday Thru Thursday for one set price a month. For parents looking for best bang for your buck, this is it. To get started all you need is the Gi which you can come a few times in gym shorts and a tshirt to make sure your child likes the class first. Also you might want to get a rash guard for under the Gi. The guard is beneficial in many ways, plus it's great for Wednesdays class no-gi Jiu-Jitsu. So far a month and half in I'm blown away by Cesar Gracie Academy. Also, Ms. Tina is also very good at answering questions, walking your child through gi fittings and just being a great ambassador to the sport and school.
