Called Larry on the phone and was given a warm welcome to stop by and train. Stopped by for their 5:30pm adult BJJ class which was proceeded by their kids class. You know it's going to be amazing when you have a swarm of happy and excited kids. When Larry showed up, the kids gave swarmed him and gave him hugs and high fives. Clear and concise instructions by coach Larry, he was patient, funny and unpretentious. Down to earth and amazing happy vibes all around. Every academy should strive to be like this place. The members are warm, welcoming and patient with my newbie white belt self. No one was grinding for a submission, and just rolling to be better. I felt safe and learned a lot! Out of town travelers, Be aware the Florida humidity is rough. 90min will feel longer , this is why their members are all beast modes. Remember to hydrate! Highly recommended, and the hype is real! Don't cheat your self and give this place a shot!

Can't give the FOYA fam enough praise on how amazing it has been to be a member at this gym. It's…read morebeen about a month of consistent training for me after a long stint away from the mat after moving to Saint Augustine from up north. I tried a few gyms in town over the years, and they were a lot of the same big egos , and hostile rolls turning me away from the sport. That is certainly not the case here. Coach Larry, Bill, Martin , Yvonne and the rest of the FOYA fam have been nothing but welcoming and have made me feel right at home after such a short time. If you're a lifelong practitioner , or new to the world FOYA is the place for you.

I booked my daughter's birthday party here even though she currently does not take classes. What an…read moreeasy birthday party! All the staff were very friendly. They made the setup and clean up soooo easy. My daughter and her friends got the entire place to themselves with 2 coaches to assist and "play" with them. My daughter had the best time. Compared to all the other places around this was very reasonably priced for what we got!

The moment you walk in you are welcomed by the smell of feet and black floors that look as if…read morethey've never been cleaned, that should have been the first red flag for me. My daughter went twice for the preschool class and all I can say is, this is NOT the place for young children learning new skills. The coaches never said a word to me or introduced themselves, they rolled their eyes when my daughter was unable to do something, and they sit there and watch doing nothing rather then assisting the children. Coach Shan apparently is the preschool manager but she should not be working with children, incredibly unprofessional. The preschool class assistants are young girls who have no right working with children so young. Very snobby and nasty energy the moment you walk in this place. I do NOT recommend.

She was so welcoming, eloquent, and a true ambassador for this venue. The students were all very nice, supportive, and focused. They all would help each other if someone near them needed a little of encouragement. A lady even was so kind to help me, since it was my first time. Hand-eye coordination and balance is something that I have always been struggling with even more so now with multiple muscles tears and psoriatic arthritis. I live with constant pain and being able to have Hope in staying independent and mobile is exciting. I was so surprised to find out that at least half of the students had only been attending a short time. They all moved so well and kept focus on the teacher. I know this a good sign that this type of venue demonstrates high standards, masterful skill sets, and a holistic mindset. Teacher Serpil is outstanding. I later was honored to meet a longstanding students whose family even train for various skills and test out for belt levels. They focus on life training and individual development more so than just belt levels ... that is my main Joy! The Grand Master is a radiant soul and is such a powerful influence demonstrating controlled strength under the command of personal awareness of Peace in one's Spirit that manifests outwards to one's surroundings. I really am impressed with the programs available and the beautiful Hope I feel for a better future. Amen!!! I felt like went to church!!!
