It's a great family atmosphere and will improve your game quickly. If you have any interest in BJJ, give it a try.

I was just excited to try out a different gym since I live in SoCal and wanted to check out a new spot while I was in Santa Rosa. The professor proceeded to tell me it would be $50 to try out the class if I'm not a check mat member in SoCal and $30 if I was a member (they don't let their own members train for free when traveling??????) I read online that I could try any class for free so I felt very deceived at this point and left.. super awkward experience . Avoid gyms like this at all costs money hungry and in organized

I've had multiple people refer me to Rafa JiuJitsu in Santa Rosa and was very happy to learn that he was opening a gym in Windsor. This is the first time my kid has participated in a sport. He was hesitant at first, but the coaches showed great patience and made him feel comfortable enough to participate. They make it really fun for all of the children. After watching my child's classes, I decided to join and have been amazed on the detailed instructions they provide in each class. This is a clean and inviting atmosphere, combined with patient coaching and genuine interest in development.

Over the years I've experienced a wide range of training environments, coaching styles, and gym cultures--and I've been fortunate to find a few BJJ "families" where I truly felt connected. The places I've always stayed the longest are the ones where I felt genuinely welcomed and safe, while still being challenged to grow and improve. After being on and off the mats due to kids, job, and injuries, finding my way back to consistent training felt like a big deal. I'm happy to say I've found my new BJJ home at West County BJJ in Sebastopol. The coaches are skilled, thoughtful, and conscientious, and the training partners create an atmosphere that is both supportive and motivating. It's a place where you can learn, improve, and push yourself. I highly recommend West County BJJ for both beginners and experienced practitioners, of all genders.
