BJJ Gainesville

“Professor Ricardo is a phenomenal teacher and has created one of the best training environments in Gainesville, Fl. This is a friendly environment with great students that will push you to grow and become better. Highly recommend coming in and trying it out.”

“Great place to train! Safety is a priority at this gym. Also it is a great environment for women to train. I’ve met some wonderful women at this gym who love BJJ and take the time to teach (even during rolls). Professor Ricardo does a great job keeping the environment positive and healthy for learning. I have been to two other BJJ gyms in Gainesville before coming to this one and it’s the best environment by far.”

“Professor Ricardo is a master at what he does. His training and guidance will help you progress at any level of skill. My personal experience has been amazing. I was a complete beginner and attended the free class not knowing what to expect. Professor Ricardo and his students were all patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. I’ve been addicted ever since the first day. Whether you want to compete, get into shape, develop a self defense skill or strengthen your mind, this is the perfect environment for it.”

“BJJ Gainesville, led by Professor Ricardo, has added so much joy to my life! Being a working professional, it’s something that allows me to get my mind off my day to day activities, get an awesome workout, and connect with the new friends I have made there. The community is very friendly! As a female who is new to jujitsu, my experience has been so welcoming and inclusive. Professor Ricardo takes the time to teach you the basics and accommodate whatever skill level you are at. The women’s only class and MMA classes are super nice options that they have too. :) Highly recommend! It will change your life for the better!”

“The place is amazing! Definitely the best BJJ gym. My son has been training here with Prof. Ricardo for about 3 years now. Training BJJ become his most favorite thing to do. At here he not only learns techniques, but builds in character and confidence. Prof. Ricardo is a world champion and he is really a next-level black belt. Watching his competitions is just like watching his performances. He is always super calm. Like some greatest dancers and musicians I admired, he also has his own rhythm. I believe that's based on his incredible techniques and full understanding of the martial arts. We feel so blessed to have Prof. Ricardo to coach my son on this lifelong journey, very thankful for the positive impact he has had on my son's development. Can't wait for let my baby daughter to train here too. Highly recommended!!!”
