FAQ'S

What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu Jitsu is a Martial Art, developed bythe Gracie Family in Brazil.

Can you accommodate children with learning challenges?

Yes, Jiu Jitsu is recommend for children withlearning disability as well asADD and ADHD. All children crave structure andconsistency. Adults, too, thriveon ritual. Inclusive Professor Almeida's son, was diagnosed with Autism at age 5, and Jiu Jitsu helped him tremendously with motor skills, socialization, confidence and eventually become a college athlete.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Words can’t express the emotions I felt today. I am forever grateful for the support I’ve received from this team. It is such an honor to receive my black belt from Professor Ricardo Almeida. Professor Almeida is a legend in this sport and yet still takes the time to focus on us all individually. You’ve taught me so many things both on and off of the mats which I am forever indebted. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without the team you’ve built.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t say enough about how much my two boys have grown in their youth program the past year. My 4 and 6-year-old have not only become physically stronger, but they also remind me how we can all be kind to each other. My older son has become more confident too, which I attribute to the class! Thank you

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I've been lucky enough to train under some of the best combat sports coaches in the world. Simply put, there is a reason Professor Ricardo is sought out across the globe - he's among the best jiu jitsu teachers on Earth and the rest of the staff is world-class. More important, though, is Professor's focus on the jiu jitsu way of life - being excellent, healthy and happy on and off the mats and getting there through BJJ.
