Any one know of any MMA gyms around the Bay?

I know theres Gracie's in Mountain View.
best one would be cesar gracie in pleasant hill, nick diaz, david terrel, gil castillo all have fought in the ufc and they train there. gilbert melendez and jake shields fight in japan and they train there as well. and alot of other dudes who have fought in smaller shows train there as well. any time you go in there you can find 4 or 5 pro fighters training. very friendly atmosphere. not a place where you gotta call the instructor master and they claim they fought in underground death matches. and have secret techmiques that can kill 37 men in 12 seconds. since the majority of these guys are either active fighters or about to be they only train what is really gonna work

Fairtex Academy in SF is the place to go. Jake Shields and Gilbert Melendez are there now along with Gunyao (sp) his the tall ass bald Muay Thai instructer from TUF season 1. Plus there are a lot of world class kickboxers in that place all the time. Scott Smith Uriah Faber and James Irvin go down there a lot as well. Crazy conditioning.

theres also one in Antioch thats where my cousin goes he's been learning a lot and what's nice about cesar gracie is they do a lot of non gi (if thats how you spell it) practice which is sometimes hard to find in bjj schools.
