Caridian Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

“As a military member stationed in Tampa, I have the privilege of training at Caridian BJJ alongside my three children. From day one, the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Professor Alan Ribeiro is not only a skilled Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner but also an exceptional instructor. His knowledge and passion for the art shine through in every class. He tailors his teaching to all skill levels, ensuring that both beginners and advanced students feel challenged and motivated.”

“Caridian BJJ is by far the best BJJ academy/lifestyle change in Tampa. Alan and his team of coaches are amazing, extremely knowledgeable, and patient. Both of my sons and myself attend this academy and could not be happier. My kids confidence and skills since joining are incredible. We have only been attending for about 3 months but the journey has been amazing and we could not ask for more. I definitely recommend Caridian BJJ to anyone looking into any martial arts or if you are just looking to start a journey full of health/mental benefits while making lifelong friends.”

“Best learning experience and environment we ever had. My kids love everything about this place. Not even one negative moment ever. Thank you to everyone, who run this school. We will be back soon 🙏🏻”

“We just finished the first trial week. My son is 8 years old. He unfortunately has a mother fighting cancer and a father whom recently had a large brain tumor removed. We knew we were looking for not only the perfect place, but to be sure he has the skills to protect himself for his lifetime. We found Cardian BJJ to be exactly what we were looking for. Very warm and welcoming. Multiple coaches, allowing kids to be able to pair up and have direct attention and guidance. We look forward to my son making new friends and really feeling like a part of something great!”

“Alan is an insanely kind and patient instructor who welcomed me with open arms in to his gym with zero jiu jitsu experience. He breaks down jiu jitsu technique in an easy to understand way, no matter what kind of learner you are, you will get it if I can. Everyone in the gym is insanely helpful and kind. Truly a home away from home, great family atmosphere. My whole family attends classes at Caridian and we look forward to every class. Jiu jitsu is an amazing workout and very practical self defense that I know I could put to use if I ever needed to.”
