Mano A Mano Jiu Jitsu

“I trained at Mano A Mano for 3 years before moving out of town (or I'd still be there). Pedro and Derrick are incredibly talented and accomplished athletes, are caring and invested in their students. The vibe is welcoming, everyone is really friendly and you will feel like family. Good times, I wish I was still training there!”

“I can’t say enough about this place. For a long time I wanted to try BJJ. From the moment I first walked in to Mano A Mano and met Coach Derrick and Coach Pedro, I immediately felt welcomed as family and felt home. Within the first 15 minutes I knew that I wanted to continue to learn BJJ, but I was even more convinced that I wanted to learn it here. On top of the coaches being world class martial artists, they’re even more outstanding individuals and some of the most humblest folks I have ran across. Everyone that trains here is also very friendly, humble and willing to teach new things to everyone. The definition of a team is reflected by everyone that trains here. I love training here and can’t wait to continue to grow in this journey. Recommend this place 10/10.”

“There are many great jiu-jitsu gyms in the Kissimmee, Florida area, and among them are the Torres brothers, who are not just exceptional instructors but also wonderful individuals. I have known these two since my days as a blue belt training at Alliance Atlanta. Pedro, in particular, is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet, and their gym has a strong family-oriented atmosphere. It's perfect for hobbyists and those eager to learn jiu-jitsu, with instructors ranging from white to black belts. Whether your goal is to become a competitive world champion or simply improve your skills, the Torres brothers have proven themselves capable of guiding students at every level. They have recently opened up new locations, and one of the remarkable things about jiu-jitsu is witnessing the growth of such small beginnings over the years. I have no doubt that one day, the Torres brothers will have an even larger facility and team. It will take time, but being a part of their journey as they reach that milestone is truly rewarding. I cannot praise the Torres brothers enough; their greatness is evident not only in their skills but also in the camaraderie among their students. I encourage anyone interested to check them out – you'll have a fantastic time!”

“My experience with this gym was one of a kind. It’s very family oriented the two brothers Derek and Pedro our phenomenal coaches. They have the ability to train beginners to champions. They are very attentive and knowledgeable I really enjoy my experience with this gym recommend it to anyone that’s interested and getting in shape or earning their metal lots of champions coming out of this gym.”

“An Outstanding Jiu-Jitsu School for All Levels! If you're looking to elevate your Jiu-Jitsu game, this is the place to be! Pedro and Derrick create an incredible balance between fostering a welcoming, family-like environment and pushing those who want to compete at a high level. They take the time to address key techniques and individual struggles, ensuring that everyone improves, regardless of their goals. Having trained at multiple schools due to moving frequently, I can confidently say this is the best academy I’ve been a part of. In just 6-8 months, my skills have improved tremendously. Whether you're a beginner or a competitor, this school provides the right atmosphere and coaching to help you grow. Highly recommended!”
