Professor Roberto Godoi, the founder, has an incredible amount of knowledge and is a fantastic teacher. All teachers at the school are some of the best I've ever encountered. The lessons are structured and easy to digest, and the community is welcoming and supportive. There are classes in the evenings and early mornings to accommodate busy schedules. The school is also welcoming to women and features a safe and clean environment. Overall, I highly recommend G13 for anyone looking for a top-notch Jiu Jitsu school in Raleigh.

Though I wrestled in high school and dabbled in karate, neither of those prepared me for how much I'd enjoy practicing jiu-jitsu. Seth has a genuine passion for the art and a gift for teaching, which makes him extremely effective as an instructor. Besides being detail-oriented with instruction, Seth is also good at tailoring his teaching to your skill and experience level. This helps new students like me see how fascinating the big picture of jiu-jitsu is, while at the same time refining advanced techniques among the more experienced students. Jiu-jitsu is very addictive because it presents both interesting mental and strenuous physical challenges. That makes it a terrific workout as well as a fun art to practice. Seth has created a school that makes training a pleasure. No matter if you've never grappled before or if you've developed skills over some years in the art of jiu-jitsu, you can learn a lot from Seth -- and have a great time doing it.

I read reviews of many in the area, Spangler BJJ was very close to my place and reviews were great so I went to check it out. I walked in and was really impressed with the welcome I received, how comfortable it felt and how clean the academy was. Those 3 things are very important to me. I am very glad I walked in those doors that day. Professor Spangler is very detailed and extremely patient. He has opened my eyes and mind so much. He has shown me that there is so much more than self defense BJJ. I am a bigger guy so learning things like spider guard and being comfortable with it is a huge for me. Professor Spangler goes out of his way to help tune a technique so that it suits either your body type or your flexibility limitations. Top notch. The class format is wonderful and class length is perfect. Just the right amount of technique drilling and rolling. Professor Spangler is a huge part in what makes this place wonderful but he is not it. The folks I train with are just amazing. Everyone has been wonderful from day one, I just can't thank them enough for the support in helping my Jiu-Jitsu game. Thank you everyone. Anyone looking to start training or looking for a new academy, walk in the doors of Spangler Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you will be very glad you did.
