Im going to be in town thursday evening (staying at the MARRIOTT OAKLAND CITY CENTER) is there anyplace close that trains MMA or Bjj?

There's a Ralph Gracie satellite school in Berkeley/Oakland. Or you can
go to SF, and train at Fairtex. BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai. I'm sure there are
other places too.

Theres a gym on 15th and MLKjr Way in Oakland, about six blocks
from the hotel. Pacific Kickboxing, 1431 MLKjr Way. 510 444 5269.

"Isn't Cesar's in SF? "

No, Cesar's is in Pleasant Hill.

Jake and Gil run a Gracie Program at Fairtex however.

Well maybe you should specify how close then. A ten mile drive from Oakland to SF is close enough for me. If you want something walking distance, try Pacific Ring Sports. It's about a half a mile walk from your hotel.

Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ and MMA offered.

FearMir, are you affiliated with Pacific Ring Sports?

If so, I see on the website that you offer MMA training on Saturday's which I like. Is there a per session drop in fee, month to month, or are students required to sign a long term contract?

Also, what's the philosopy there regarding allowing students to train at other places?

Sorry I actually train at Fairtex not Pacific Ring Sports.

I do know that the guys are great whenever I have been there for events and the instructors are Fairtex certified trainers.

The BJJ teacher/MMA grappling instructor, is Sergio Silva. I trained with Sergio for a little while at his academy and Sergio is an amazing instructor.

As far as prices and stuff, you would have to contact them directly.
