Suncoast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Clearwater, Florida, has established itself as a highly technical and competitive gym. The instructors and dedicated students are all united by our love of jiu jitsu. The instruction at Suncoast is top-notch. The black belt instructors are incredible educators as well as elite grapplers. They break down complex movements into simple, digestible steps, ensuring that everyone, from seasoned competitors to beginners, can grasp the concepts and progress in their own time. The professors and coaches adapt techniques to individual learning styles and understand the capabilities of all ages and abilities. One of the things that sets Suncoast apart is the access to black belts. You get dedicated attention and personal coaching from these elite grapplers, who actually know who you are and care about you; here, you're not just another face in the crowd. They are on the mats every day with you, refining your technique, and pushing you to reach your full potential. Suncoast is a place where you build confidence, develop toughness, and forge lasting friendships. The camaraderie amongst the students is incredible. At Suncoast, we celebrate each other's successes and help each other overcome challenges. I have trained at many Dojos, and Suncoast is unique - this is why my entire family trains here. read more

Go here What ever I end up writing isn't even half of the good points. A community of people that will treat you like family day one, check. But are they skilled? I'm thirty and terrified of kids who haven't hit puberty from the kids class. The students and instructors clean house at every tournament at every level. But will I get the attention I need during class to make sure I learn properly and don't form bad habits? There is about a dozen black belts and a couple dozen brown belts that go out of there way to help and guide everyone. But I'm really looking for more of an exercise and getting in shape, how does BJJ hold up? You do one two hour class and you will realize you have never exercised before compared to this. That's all good but I'm more of a lineage kind of guy, did they learn this by watching the UFC and did what they saw? Nope! The now black belts a few decades ago flew out a black belt student from the literal brothers that made BJJ in Brazil. As nike would say. Just do it. read more

About a year ago we had to look for a new gym for our son because of schedule conflicts. This was the first one we went to and we didn't have to look any further. All 3 of us were so impressed after observing 1 class that my son couldn't wait to join. Ever since then, we didn't look back. You don't only have a gym here, you have a community! The coaches/instructors care a great deal about their students, especially Fab. There are always multiple coaches on the floor ready to coach up and/or fix mistakes. They are very detailed on teaching each technique. Their focus on foundation makes the students very well versed. When we watch the way they train, it's amazing what these kids can do. They're not only teaching jiujitsu, they are shaping and building kids into tough, resilient people! read more

I started bringing my kids to Suncoast in 2021, and I began training about 6 months afterward. Watching the growth of our young competitors at this school is pretty amazing. The instruction is firm but fair, and everyone is pushed to be their best. I can honestly say it is my favorite part of the day when I pull up to begin class. I would highly recommend Suncoast to anyone who is thinking of beginning BJJ or is considering switching schools. From Professors Fabiano and Joel, down through the rest of the coaches, the knowledge passed on is top-notch. read more

I love this place. Competition proven technique, motivating atmosphere, tons of experienced instruction and phenomenal people. Very welcoming to outsiders looking to cross train. The kid's classes are top notch and I'm constantly impressed with their progress and ability. Going to jiu jitsu classes here are seriously the highlight of my week. I tried several jiu jitsu schools in the Tampa Bay Area before deciding on Sun Coast. I'm now proud to call this place my home. I hope to earn my black belt here one day. -Steve read more

Can't say enough good things about this place and the Professors/coaches. My boys started when they were 5 and 7 years old. My youngest was extremely shy, and did not have much confidence. Now he is asking to compete in tournaments. Which is a huge step considering how intimidating, and nerve racking these things are. 1000% recommend. read more
