I did extensive research on which BJJ gym I wanted to try out after moving to SF. I met Romulo and a couple students, watched and joined a trial class. Now, 2.5 years later and I'm constantly reminded how great this gym and community is. I pass by multiple BJJ gyms between work and home and I'm happy to be a part of this one. I look forward to gym days. Much love to Romulo, Amanda and the RMBJJ community!

I’ve been training with Romulo since 2019, and over the years he’s become not just a coach, but a friend and mentor. He’s always smiling, positive, and genuinely happy to be on the mats, which creates an incredible training environment. Because of him, I’ve grown both in jiu-jitsu and personally—and I’ve made great friends along the way. Highly recommended.

Dropped by Rómulo’s while visiting San Francisco and it was one of the best academies I have ever trained at. Rómulo is an amazing teacher, the gym is super clean, and everyone greeted me like an old friend. Definitely drop by if you are looking for a place to train.

Went as a drop in after some friends that had trained there recommended it. It was an amazing experience. Profesor Romulo was very welcoming and the instruction was excellent. Can’t say enough good things about my experience at this gym. All the students were friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a gym in SF this is the one.
