Since 2011, the Caio Terra Academy in San Jose, California has served as the headquarters of the Caio Terra Association and is led by 12-time world champion Caio Terra. Classes are taught by world-class competitors and coaches, including Mason Fowler, Tyler Shew, and Professor Caio Terra. The academy follows a one-team philosophy, stating that although they train hard and compete, martial arts values and respect for each other always come first, and their stated goal is to help students achieve the goals they set for themselves. The academy is described as the Bay Area's premier martial arts academy and is home to numerous ADCC, World, and UFC BJJ champions, as well as 12-time world champion Caio Terra. It offers programs for both adults and kids and teens, a free 2-day trial of all programs, family rates discounts, and contract, pre-pay, and month-to-month membership options.

When a child first tries a class, the academy provides loaner gis and strongly suggests that families do not buy a gi before signing up. For gi classes, students are allowed to wear any brand of gi. For no-gi classes, the academy requires a CTA rash guard and black shorts with no pockets.

Parent and member testimonials describe the instructional format and number of class times as fitting what their kids wanted and note the attention competitors and coaches give to kids. Other parents and members describe detailed instruction in both adults and kids classes, the cleanliness of the facility, and an inclusive “One Team” environment. Additional member comments describe the academy as one of the top jiu-jitsu academies in the world with friendly instructors and coaches, and note that the trainers have helped them develop their fitness goals.
