Essencia Jiu Jitsu

“Best Jiu-Jitsu academy! My 4 year just started and is absolutely loving the classes! Marcelo is a great instructor!”

“My children have been loving training at Essência. The gym has excellent facilities, always clean, and everything is new! The instructors are always very attentive, patient, and keep a close eye on all the children, being extremely professional. At Essência, children not only learn about Jiu-Jitsu but also about discipline and respect for others. I highly recommend Essência to everyone.”

“My son joined Essencia Jiu-Jitsu last month, he goes to all three kids classes, and he loves it! He likes the Coaches teaching style, Coach Marcello especially , as they're all very patient while working with each kid, but also sometimes allow the higher belts to roll a little harder against the coaches. It's a great jiu-jitsu academy, I'm very happy with having chosen Essencia Jiu-Jitsu Academy, and I look forward to eventually seeing him compete again.”

“My son loves learning Jiujitsu with Coach Marcelo and coach Andreas, they are very patient and caring with the young kids, truly warms my heart to see. I am enjoying every minute of watching my boy learn martial arts at Essencia Jiujitsu.”

“Essencia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is exactly the kind of martial arts academy that you want to be part of. As a lifelong martial artist, who even had my own school in a different martial discipline, all I can say is; I wish it was half of what Essencia is. Let’s start with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I come from striking arts and when I switched over I was immediately hooked at how amazing and effective BJJ is. I have 4 daughters and I don’t think they can as effectively defend themselves with striking as they can with bjj. In fact I came specifically to Essencia to bring my 6 year old daughter, as well as join the amazing team in the adults class myself. I drive an hour to Essencia. I pass a lot of schools on the way to Essencia for the preferred training environment and atmosphere I want my kids to grow up in and learn from; as well as be part of it myself. As for Professor Marcello, what can you say? He’s a class act. Marcello is a top notch professor and tested not just in competition, but also as a dedicated community servant. He’s out there having to utilize his skills daily. That’s who I want to learn from, and who I want my kids to learn from. Professor Marcello is phenomenal with the kids classes and a great leader to his team. Don’t hesitate! Check out this amazing academy out!”
