I’ve been training at Brasa Jiu Jitsu for several years now, and it has been an incredible experience. Coach Aditya is not only a fantastic teacher but also an all-around great guy who genuinely cares about his students’ progress. At 36, I can confidently say that anyone can start at any age—it’s never too late to begin. Jiu Jitsu here is the best endurance builder, both physically and mentally. Every class pushes you to grow, problem-solve, and sharpen your mind while getting an amazing workout. If you’re looking for top-tier instruction, a welcoming community, and a challenge that will improve both your body and mind, Brasa is the place to be! Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Brasa Jiu Jitsu Highwood, and I can’t recommend this gym enough! The facility is spotless, which shows their commitment to providing a clean and professional environment for their students. Beyond that, their team is incredibly talented and strong, showcasing a level of technical skill and dedication that’s truly inspiring. Thank you to everyone at Brasa for the warm welcome and the opportunity to train alongside such a great group. It was an honor to roll with you all—I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in the area!

Aditya has a wealth of knowledge in jiu jitsu, he gives a great perspective on techniques. Met through a mutual friend also doing jiu-jitsu, and it’s always a great time. He is a fantastic coach and all around great person, his students are a great reflection of his coaching. Welcoming atmosphere, great coaching and challenging rounds. Highly recommend for anyone in the area to come try it out, and if anyone who is experienced to check them out.

I bring my young son here and he loves it. The coaches are really great and spend time with each student during the classes. My son comes out happy and well exercised after each session. He is young so it will take time to develop skills, but he is on the way and it's great to see.

I have been practicing at Brasa Highwood for 1.5 years. I love it here! Coach Aditya and Coach Marcelo are so welcoming. They have created a welcome team environment where everyone works together. I have made new friends here as have my 3 kids. I love the family friendly aspect where you'll find parents rolling with their kids at the end of a class. BJJ can be challenging to learn with so many techniques but the coaches always spend extra time with us and help us reach our full potential. If you are looking for a place to learn self defense, get into great shape, be a part of a truly great group of people and learn BJJ - this is the place for you!
