I hit the jackpot. I came to Dumlao's -- in search of a place to learn to defend myself -- after checking out many major Brazillian Jiu Jitsu schools around the bay area.

I hit the jackpot. I came to Dumlao's -- in search of a place to learn to defend myself -- after checking out many major Brazillian Jiu Jitsu schools around the bay area. I had a previous injury from another popular BJJ gym and Dumlao's gentle and friendly style of Jiu Jitsu was perfect for me to rehabilitate the injury while still progressing/learning in BJJ. When I was finally able to get serious about Jiu Jitsu this school did NOT disappoint! When you sign up for the BJJ program at Dumlao's -- you have automatic access to 4 different affiliate BJJ schools in the area (Sabre, East Bay Academy, New Creation, Train for Life); each school offering different specialties and atmospheres -- enough to train a range of people (hobbyist to amateur MMA fighters to pro fighters). I owe so much to Dumlao's, they'll always be my home gym/family. I came in unconfident about myself; I left a better person, knowing I can handle not only physical threats but also life's hurdles.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of attending Jason's Cardio Kickboxing class for the last six years. We are continuously pushed to our physical limits and encouraged to do more. Whether the class be small or large, Jason provides the same attention and sincerity. I am very proud to call Jason my friend, trainer and motivator.

Dumlao Academy Cardio kick boxing class has been a great experience.Jason has been a great coach these last past 9 months. I love that everyone in the class is friendly and motivating for each other, no one judges anyone because at the end of the day we are all competing with ourselves. Joining Jason's Cardio kick boxing class has not only helped me loose weight but has also motivated me to strive for success and to never limit myself. It's like Jason says " are you a starter or a finisher"? I'm definitely a finisher and so can you � you won't regret joining� Less

We started out with my 6-yo signing up for karate because she was interested (2014). Now the whole family is practically here all the time with the hubby in adult karate and FCC, and with me in BJJ and Cardio Kickboxing.

This is my sixth week in my kickboxing class with Jason Richardson Albini. Awesome instructor. I am fitting cloths I could not fit anymore. Yeah summer time here I come.
I think they not only teach their students about martial arts, but include life application. They foster a warm family environment and encourage the kids to always show respect in and out of the dojo. Great establishment.
I take the Cardio kickboxing class. Jason is the best!!!!!
