Mano A Mano Jiu Jitsu

“What a GREAT group of people. Very kind and welcoming right from the minute of meeting each person. I got some great rolls in today rolling with a black belt, brown belt, purple belt, and two blue belts. I’m grateful for this group; lots of talent here! Added: I came down from Michigan and these people were so welcoming and helped me the week prior to Pans. They literally treated me as if I was a regular student and I ended up winning gold at Pans. These are very nice people I had the honor to train with!”

“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!”

“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.”

“I've taken my son to a few jiu jitsu classes in the Orlando area and none really stood out. They mostly have a daycare vibe. Mano a mano is the complete opposite. My son has fun but is also provided with discipline and challenges. He is excited to show up and is happy leaving. Best of all, he's also discovered an interest in judo which they also provide. The teachers are all incredibly patient and full of knowledge. If you're looking for a jiu jitsu gym, stop. This is it.”
