Local blog San Francisco Now has a nice video feature on a new Outer Richmond District business, Ocean Beach Barra Brothers Jiu-Jitsu.
Started in late 2009, the dojo is run by Jiu-Jitsu black belt and former US open champion Carlos Sapao. The focus is on the Brazilian style of Jiu-Jitsu.
The dojo also offers Brazillian bootcamp class which they describe as “a blend of traditional exercises (jumping jack, push-ups, squats, etc.), Jiu-Jitsu inspired cardio drills, and self defense disciplines”.
If you’re looking for a new workout for 2010, Barra Brothers may be the ticket. All ages are welcome and the first class is free. They’re located at 710 La Playa Street near Balboa and offer classes from morning until evening.
