Gyms in the bay area

[nrs02004]

Hello!

I am about to move up to the bay area and was wondering about a good BJJ gym to join. I started BJJ quite recently (been training on and off for about 5 months due to injury) but really enjoy it. Anywho, I was hoping for something close to Stanford that offers latish classes (8,8:30 maybe?). The BJJ instructor I'm working with now suggested Dave Camarillo in San Jose, which sounds intriguing, but commute details end up making it somewhat difficult.

Thanks!

I trained at Dave Camarillo's for a couple of months when I first started BJJ. You'll love it- it fits everyone. They've got great instructors, grappling phenoms and also just normal guys who want to learn BJJ.

Also- Dave is one of the coolest guys ever- at least go check them out. He teaches out of AKA...

Thanks for the replies =]. I think I'm gonna make my decision after I find a place to stay (with housing costs the way they are up there I may end up in san jose...)
