Diego Bispo Academy

“DBA is a fantastic competitive gym. Every coach is very supportive of your own goals and is willing to do anything to see you succeed. There is also an INCREDIBLE group of women that not only make great training partners, but great role models for the young women/girls in the kids programs. Drop in today for some intense training!”

“Diego has welcomed my daughter, Chloe, to come train with his high-level kids, and we have had nothing but a great experience. Diego is funny, experienced, and very professional. We drive almost four hours to come train at his gym whenever we have a free Sunday; that should tell you enough.”

“My family and I were in Southeastern Virginia for the holidays. Our daughter is a current BJJ Competitor and wanted to get some rolls in while we were here. I reached out to Professor Diego and asked him if she can come by for the evening. He responded back in a timely manner and without any hesitation, said she is welcome anytime. When we arrived , Professor Diego stopped what he was doing on the mats and came over to greet and introduce himself to my daughter and I. The experience was great and everyone there was friendly. My daughter got some productive rolls in and then some. She will definitely come back to this Academy next time we are in the area. Thank you Professor Diego and your Team for the open arms and hospitality. Top Notch BJJ Academy with top notch practitioners.”

“Diego is an amazing coach and a fountain of knowledge. Highest quality of Jiu Jitsu in the VA Beach area. I visited as a brown belt from another school and will be coming back every time I’m in the area.”

“I moved back to the area about a year ago in search of a competitive gym to fit my needs and found just what I was looking for here at Diego Bispo Academy. I also found a place with many women and men that match my body size, and can make me feel safe while I train! Everyone has been so warm and welcoming to me since I've been in and even coming off a hiatus and getting back into shape. Diego is the biggest motivator in the world, the most positive and inspiring person to be around. I have found so many friends in the gym, and a new 2nd home! It feels good to be around so many others that are chasing after the same goals too! Happy rolling”
