Praia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

“My son has been training in the kids’ class at Praia Jiu-Jitsu for almost 9 months, and the progress has been incredible. Not only has his confidence grown, but he genuinely enjoys every lesson. As a parent, it's so reassuring to see how much he looks forward to each class. The training environment is supportive and focused on building character, and I feel confident that he’s not only improving his Jiu-Jitsu skills but also becoming a better person overall. I’m extremely pleased with the program and highly recommend it!”

“Teaching at Praia Jiu-Jitsu is an incredible experience! The environment is welcoming, and every day I feel inspired to share my knowledge of Judo with our amazing students. It’s fulfilling to pass on everything I’ve learned over the years and to see the growth and development of each student. The parents are incredibly supportive and kind, making the entire experience even better. Being part of this community allows me to share not only my skills but also my life experiences with wonderful people. It truly feels like a second home!”

“My kids love coming here. The kids Jiu-Jitsu program is a must for your littles. The instructors are great and the classes are fun and engaging. Definitely recommend.”

“We are grateful for Praia! Genuine people, quality instruction and the coaches have a great balance between structure and fun. The gym is clean and well kept. Sensei Gabriel is amazing!!. He has helped my son greatly in his strength and confidence on and off the mat. Praia often hosts events to bring students together outside the class, fostering that family like sense of community. Come check it out, you won’t be disappointed!”

“I highly recommend this studio/gym to everyone, from kids to adults and beginners to seasoned martial artists. I wanted to get my 3-year-old daughter into martial arts and decided to try Praia because they offer judo classes for 3-5 year olds. She has been going for a few months now and loves it. The coaches are absolutely amazing with all of the kids. Not only do they make the class fun and educational, but they also take the time to comfort any nervous children and try to get the parents involved in their kids' training. I liked the gym and the community so much that I joined a little after. I had never done any jiu-jitsu before joining and had recently had a baby, so I was very nervous. Now I am upset I didn't start sooner. I have been going to the beginners classes and the coaches have been so supportive. And to top it all off, my husband got into it, too. I love that my whole family trains at Praia.”
