Goiano Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Great BJJ school for the whole family! Professor Rafael is a great instructor. Every time I come visit the school to train the staff and members are very welcoming and friendly. I encourage anyone who wants to learn BJJ to stop by and check it out. Professor Rafael is one of the best instructors to learn from.”

“Brazillian JiuJitsu Professor Rafael De Lima is an awesome martial artist and teacher. His skills, knowledge and teaching abilities are of the highest level. Very well respected champion with Top-notch credentials and a good hearted family man. If you live anywhere near this academy I urge you, please, to go check it out and Join Goiano team. I can't tell you how much it is a blessing to have this man opening a school in your area. You will be happy for sure!”

“I love this place. Family atmosphere with world class instruction. Professor Raphael De Lima teaches every class with attention to detail and always thinks about the best interest of his students. He brings forth his personal knowledge and experience as well his world class pedigree in BJJ. How many gyms can say that a world class black belt teaches every class and treats students like equals? I know I can say that is true about this place.”

“This guy knows his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I like that we work on one set of moves several classes in a row. This way, you really get to understand the technique and can use it when you are sparring. Its much better to learn a couple moves really well, instead of leaning a bunch of moves, but only understand the technique a little bit. Only the moves you drill over and over will work in sparring. I like that he still attends classes at his professors academy. This shows me he wants to have complete understanding of the art.”

“Marcio Cruz black belt. Rafael is one of the best instructors in the Tampa Bay area and unlike many instructors in the area he's always testing and improving his skills by competing. Great person as well as great family man.”
