Ponte Vedra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“Our son started at PVBJJ almost a year ago. The practice came highly recommended from a friend with a similarly energetic 6 year old. The atmosphere is loving and welcoming while also holding high expectations. My favorite part is the amount of movement happening during the hour long class. There is less than 10 minutes of sitting and this is when they're observing the instructions and at the end during practice matches. My son's improvement from day one has been highly noticeable and he loves it. This includes both during class and with behavior at home. I even got involved during a parent and me class and really enjoyed myself.”

“I have trained with and have known Professor John for several years, he is a high level BJJ instructor/martial artist, and is a great teacher! I highly recommend Ponte Vedra BJJ!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“My daughter began at Ponte Vedra Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (lovingly referred to as PVBJJ) in fall of her 7th grade year of middle school. (She is now going into 10th.) In the beginning she was extremely shy, however, as she came out of her shell on the mats, her school teachers could tell something was different in her confidence level. Beyond her growing skills and passion in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, she has gained discipline and respect in other areas that I never saw coming. Her school work has gotten better, she sets goals for herself now, she has taken on wrestling, all the while staying anchored with her first sports passion. The encouragement and skill that is established within the walls of PVBJJ, has done so much to enrich my daughter's life and direction. I am so grateful to all of the instructors for their incredible knowledge, respect, encouragement, and feedback. The lessons that you teach within those walls are so much bigger than we ever anticipated. If you are reading this, it takes courage to take that first step of trying something new. Any age/gender/skill level is happily welcomed here. You never know what you are missing unless you give it a chance.”

“One of the most impactful, professional and proactive academy’s of this kind! Amazing staff, who are so kind and treat everyone with respect while still keeping everyone in line. There is no doubt this business will continue to thrive with such high standards. Our daughter has learned so much and simply loves it there.”

“Was a walk in during holiday visit with family. Let me tell you the atmosphere was perfect. Felt very welcome. Felt very comfortable. And had a great day training. So pleasant the people there where. And yes their Jiu-jitsu is good. Many good rounds. Met good people. Very highly recommended and cant wait to visit. Thank you for a solid day.”
