Ralph Gracie Berkeley is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy rooted in the Ralph Gracie lineage, established in 2005 and led by 5th-degree black belt Eduardo Fraga. The academy offers BJJ in both gi and no-gi formats, as well as Judo instruction, with a strong focus on developing skilled practitioners at all levels. Notable for its home-grown black belt teaching lineage—including Alan Joyce and Newton Casemiro, both promoted within the academy—it provides around 30 weekly class slots across kids, beginner, and advanced adult programs. The Berkeley location is the second-largest academy in the Ralph Gracie network.
