Ascend Jiu-Jitsu

“I wanted to leave a review and share our experience with this academy. My 4,5 -year-old son attended just one trial lesson with Professor Pierre about five months ago. We couldn’t continue the classes because we had to move out of the city unexpectedly. Let me tell you — just yesterday, I decided to see if my son remembered anything from that lesson. To my surprise, he remembered everything that was taught. Professor Pierre has a great understanding of children and is very disciplined. I wish we could find a professor like him in the suburbs. We wish Mr. Pierre continued success in his work. Thank you!”

“My year at Ascend has been no less than transformative. Professor Pierre takes his role extremely seriously and professionally, making a transition into a BJJ lifestyle seamless. The welcoming and supportive community he’s cultivated is seen few and far between. Whether your goals are lifestyle or competitive, Ascend is the place for you.”

“Professor Pierre is incredibly patient, methodical, and detail oriented in his approach! He creates a safe and welcoming environment for anyone interested in trying jiu jitsu, and the community at Ascend is incredible!”

“I’ve recently joined Ascend Jiu-Jitsu. This is the my first time doing it and the quality of the classes and coaches are outstanding! They are very dedicated in teaching the detailed techniques, helping 1-1 and ensuring a safe space for everyone at all levels. The classes are dynamic and very fun. Other members are friendly, welcoming and supportive, which translates the culture of Ascend and the community they are building. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing experience!! As an unknown visitor, I was welcomed as part of their jiujitsu family. The dojo is back to basics: a room with a mat and outstanding instruction. Professor Pires is an incredibly accomplished competitor and yet is able to provide a thoughtful, thorough and makes the techniques accessible even to a junior blue belt like me! Awesome - highly recommended!”
