My son recently became interested in wrestling, and this gym offers the MOCCA program for both boys…read moreand girls of all ages. Practices are held three evenings a week, and you can either pay per session or purchase a monthly pass. For first-time participants, they provide wrestling shoes, but if your child plans to continue, it's definitely worth investing in a pair. The facility itself is impressive. The building is enormous, with three full-size wrestling mat areas, a raised wrestling ring, a large fitness area with equipment, locker rooms, and an uncomfortable seating area for parents. They also have a water bottle refill station, which is much appreciated because the kids work incredibly hard. My son was absolutely exhausted by the end of practice. The class structure, however, could be improved for beginners. Everyone starts together with about 15 minutes of warm-ups, followed by a demonstration of a wrestling move. After that, the younger wrestlers move to another mat and pair off to practice. One challenge for first-time families is that it's difficult to identify who the instructors are. Having coaches wear identifiable shirts would make it much easier to know who to approach with questions. I also felt that the techniques introduced were fairly advanced for newcomers. It would be helpful to start with simpler fundamental moves while spending more time explaining the purpose and mechanics behind each technique. Every 10 minutes or so, a whistle brings everyone back together for another demonstration before they rotate back to practicing. This cycle repeats several times before open wrestling begins. For beginners, I would probably recommend sitting out the open wrestling portion. Wrestlers are paired rather freely, and it can be overwhelming for someone attending their first few practices. Overall, I think the program would benefit from offering a dedicated beginner class before introducing new wrestlers into the regular sessions. That said, one thing that really stood out was how welcoming and encouraging the older participants were. Many of them took the time to help the younger wrestlers learn the techniques, creating a supportive atmosphere that made the experience a positive one despite the steep learning curve.

They truly know how to take care of the kids and provide them with a great learning environment. Although we decided to leave to try a new experience at another place, we truly miss Jiu-Jitsu 4 Life. The coaches -- FILIPO SOFIA and CAIO-- are amazing and dedicated professionals. My kids learned so much during their time there. In 2025, Davi competed at the American Pan Kids while representing Jiu-Jitsu 4 Life, and it was such a proud moment for our family. He won the gold and became champion-what a blessing! all the hard work, discipline, and dedication paid off .no wonder you're grateful moment like that are emotional not just for him, but for everyone who supported him along the way. thanks Again (( GOD )) jiu-jitsu 4 life .

They make a strong point to ensure people don't get hurt, the upper belts are amazingly helpful and kind and even when practicing with them, they stop as needed and walk you through what to do and how to do it right. They'll also stop you when you're heading towards inadvertently getting yourself hurt. I love that the professor (instructor) calls out "listen everyone, we're going to take this one slowly and carefully. This is not a competition, this is a random Tuesday night and no one is winning a prize for getting hurt, so let's go slow and careful". Alliance has really outstanding instructors and upper belts. A number of times I had what I thought was a silly question but never felt silly asking. They take all the time needed to walk through whatever is needed slowly and repeatedly to make sure everyone understands and feels comfortable. The workout is amazing but very doable. An hour class works way more of my body than any workout at a gym and as a bonus, I'm learning how to defend myself at the same time. I've dabbled with other martial arts but felt like I wouldn't really be effective in a street scenario for a long time, but BJJ is the opposite. After the first couple of months, I feel like I know enough that I'd at least be able to stop and contain most untrained people in a street scenario. Really great confidence boost. Overall, if you're considering taking Jiu Jitsu or just want a full body workout that will leave you wiped, but wanting more, this is the place to go. It's a family owned business that really does care about the students and helps everyone progress at the right pace for them.

The kids' classes are outstanding--structured, disciplined, and fun. The instructors do an amazing job of building confidence, focus, and respect while teaching real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a safe and positive environment. You can see the growth in the kids not just on the mats, but in their attitude and behavior as well. The adult classes are equally top-notch. Whether you're brand new or have years of experience, the instruction is clear, detailed, and purposeful. Professor Andrezza has a gift for breaking down techniques in a way that makes sense, while still challenging you to improve every class. The atmosphere is welcoming, ego-free, and focused on real progress. This academy is more than just a place to train--it's a community that supports personal growth, discipline, and confidence for the whole family. If you're looking for high-level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with excellent instruction for both kids and adults, I can't recommend Andrezza Façanha BJJ highly enough.

Ive studied martial arts my whole life. Mostly striking. Im in sports rehab and have worked with…read moreseveral UFC athletes. NFL, Professional golf and many other sports. I was introduced to the instructor by a friend. Marcelo Silveira is a high ranking black belt and one of the original founders of American Top Team. Jiu jitus is a very physically demanding sport. It's also inhabited by a lot of rough trade. Its not for the weak of heart. There is a lot of hazing, bullying, ranks and cliques. You expect that going in. You learn to survive and hold your own. Its combat sports, not needle knitting. Lots of egos and attitudes. For 8 years I was a loyal student. I fought and competed and represented the school and my teammates. I tolerated the non-stop hazing. The homophobic slurs and name calling. The insults. I never complained. I went from white belt to purple belt in 8 years. During the 8 years I watched the instructor mistreat and abuse several students with years of history. Attempt to sleep with female students. Throw people out for one perceived slight or another. At one point I was suspended for not coming to class. The instructor told everyone he didnt care who had to work. If you miss class your out. Oct 6 I was rolling with the instructor and he purposely ripped my arm over my head with no warning and no opportunity to tap. My pec was torn off the bone, Torn bicep, torn rotator, permanent damage to the shoulder joint. It only went downhill from there. Tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. 4-6 months of rehab 3-4 months I cant work. The arrogance of the instructor. No insurance. No business license. I had paid money for privates and even paid money in advance for a seminar which he has refused to return. He doesnt care about his students in the least. This man is a menace. He shouldnt be teaching anywhere. I started talking to other members in the community. This is not an isolated incident. There is a long history of this. He is known for this. Most everyone in the community stopped dealing with him years ago for his antics and behavior. This is why he has no students. This isnt sour grapes. Im not a white-belt. I was a senior student with a perfect record of conduct on the mats. A loyal teammate and one of his best students. I trusted this man as my coach and instructor and spent 8 years working my ass off and putting up with so much drama and disrespect. As a professional coach of over 30 years I am disgusted. This man uses jiu jitsu as an excuse to mistreat and abuse people. He holds jiu jitsu over peoples heads. Ive been a business owner and member of the Boca Raton community since 2009. I stand by my statements. He shouldnt be teaching. He's a low life excuse for a human. Beware.
