AVA JIU-JITSU ACADEMY

Professor Filipe Jerry brings traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training to the Tri-Valley, having studied under Carlos Gracie Junior himself. AVA Jiu-Jitsu Academy welcomes everyone from complete beginners to experienced grapplers, with programs covering sport competition, self-defense, and MMA applications.

The academy's name reflects their core values of Friendship, Truth, and Improvement, creating an atmosphere where technique and respect matter more than ego. Kids and adults train together in this welcoming space, though they're closed Sundays for rest and recovery.
