I have 4 grandkids in their youth class and. they love it. Fabio is very patient with the kids and explains each move very carefully and takes time with each child who is having difficulty with a new move. both Fabio and Roberta will "grapple" with the kids to help them gain better knowledge of the diffrent positions. I love the fact that Fabio is the soft spoken teacher and Roberta is the "drill sgt". They both love and encourage the kids, are quick to be there when one of the kids might be hurt and they are always there for a word of encouragement or a big hug whenever a kid wants one. Fabio and Roberta are two fantastic people.

This place is amazing. Fabio Novaes personally teaches nearly every class and gives each student…read morepersonal attention. The atmosphere here is very welcoming. They even allow you to try the classes for one week for free to make sure you like it before joining and even then, there is not a contract. Fabio's philosophy is that he doesn't want to have a contract to force you to be there, he wants you to be there because you want to be. My only regret is that I didn't start training 20 years ago. I cannot recommend Fabio Novaes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to you enough. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. You won't regret it.

I started this adventure with a simple Google search, and this was one first selections on the…read morelist. Plus it happens to be right next door to an Anytime Fitness. I tried calling at first but there was no answer, so I went to their website and partially filled out the information request. After their last class concluded, I received a text message from Chuck. The message was very professional, polite, and informative. I had a brief conversation via text about what I was looking. Instead of trying to push a quick sale, Chuck took the time to see what MY schedule looked like and showed me sessions that would fit what I was looking for as well as my schedule. I decided I would give it a shot. They offer one "Free" session for you to try it out and several different packages to meet a wide range of price points. I arrived at the gym about 15 mins before the start of the 7pm session. I wanted to watch a little bit of the interactions and sign any waivers that were needed. Chuck was teaching and still took the time for a quick greeting, before continuing with his session. As the class concluded, I was able to get the paperwork filled out and was provided a loaner gi. I explained that I had zero knowledge of the sport. That didn't faze Chuck or the rest of the class at all. Everyone was friendly, laidback, and took the time to help me not just learn the steps but understand why they were there. There wasn't a moment throughout the entire experience that I was bored or wasn't laughing. By the end of the session, I was ready to sign up. If you're looking for a new hobby, I highly recommend checking this place out. Great environment and amazing people.

Weve been to other JJ academies locally and out of state and hands down this is the best one we've been to so far. highly recommend.
