Abmar Barbosa Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Abmar Barbosa Jiu Jitsu Academy is truly a place to learn, to grow, and become healthier physically and mentally, learning from top level coaches. You’ll make friends that become an extended family. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made and would do it one thousand times over. The hardest part is making the choice to walk through the door. Make the choice and become a better version of you.”

“The coaching staff is awesome. They’re patient, knowledgeable, and made up of both current and former high-level competitors. They really prioritize safety and focus on the technical details, like Abmar often pausing class to make sure no one’s knee is in a bad position. The team has a welcoming vibe for everyone, whether you like to compete or just train for fun. The higher belts are approachable and always happy to answer questions. The weekly schedule has a lot of great training opportunities, including technique classes and live sparring classes, so you can work on every part of your game. As a former competitive swimmer, I can tell you this gym will push your cardio, giving you both great exercise and solid preparation for competition.”

“Amazing staff, awesome teammates. Easily the best, and most technical training I’ve encountered. Word on the street is this is even where Santa trains.”

“They have a very good children's program here. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a child interested in pursuing Jiu Jitsu. They offer a one week free trial so the child can see if they like it and want to continue.”

“I started my BJJ journey about six months ago in this gym - and I have loved every second so far. I'm almost 40 and I had never practiced any sport in my life but I wanted to do something. I visited some gyms in the area until I found this gym. I knew I found a special place when the students were the ones encouraging me to join - not a sales person or receptionist. The free class made it easy for me to try. I have decided to stay because the culture is fantastic and the instructors are excellent. All color belts are always happy to teach you and let you practice. Teachers pay a lot of attention to each student. If you are remotely interested in BJJ, look no further. This is the place to learn, practice, grow - and if you want - compete at the highest levels.”
