Gustavo Machado Brazilian Jiu

“Gustavo Machado's Jujitsu academy is more than just a training facility; it's a community where the legacy of martial arts is both preserved and celebrated. The older facilities might carry years on their walls, but they stand well-maintained, echoing the discipline and care that is central to the art of jujitsu. At the core of this academy's excellence is Gustavo, whose reputation as one of the best teachers around is well-earned. His teachings go beyond techniques; they instill confidence and foster growth in both skill and character. Gustavo will know you by name! The environment here is nothing short of welcoming. It's a place where every handshake and sparring session is an invitation to be part of something greater—a community that supports and uplifts each other. Please note: For those planning their schedules, keep in mind that if you need to cancel, a 30-day advance notice is required. It's a small consideration to ensure that the academy can continue providing top-notch training for all its students. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I trained here for 2 years and learned so much! Gustavo is the best teacher and truly wants to see his students succeed. There is so much talent at this gym and I consider myself lucky for having been able to learn from him and his high level instructors like Randy and Justin. The family atmosphere is so welcoming and they sincerely support each other. There is no place any better than this in VB!!! Long live Gustavo Machado!!”
