Protasio Jiu Jitsu - Navarre Emerald Coast Checkmat

“My family and I have been training at Protasio Jiu Jitsu for almost a year, and the experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. Professor Bruno and Coach Talita promote a wonderful training environment and culture. The personal growth I’ve experienced, and seen in my children, has slowly transitioned us from viewing BJJ as a “hobby/extra-curricular activity” to a lifestyle. Not only is the instruction top-notch, but Professor and Coach are wonderful people. I highly recommend anyone looking for a gym/team to visit.”

“I'm a brown belt from Mount Dora FL and I was visiting family and joined my nephew for a class here. There aren't enough stars for this gym. The owner and his wife are extremely nice and inviting as soon as I walked in the door. I instantly felt at home. The style that Bruno teaches is similar to the gym I go to back home. Pressure and position before submission. I was even invited to roll with Bruno. He was extremely humble and we flow rolled for 5 minutes. No subs, but I knew he had me multiple times! The students were extremely nice and humble as well. No meat heads! I 110% recommend this gym whether you're competitive or a hobbiest. Bruno's knowledge is top tier direct from Brazil. They have also done wonders for my 13 yr old nephew building manners and confidence!”

“The joy that I get watching both of my kids (8yrs & 16yrs) and my husband make jiu jitsu a way of life in our family is worth its weight in gold. Thank you so much Professor Bruno and Talita for countless dinner conversations and random fake hugs that lead in to a choke out. I love it and we love you!!”

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Professor Bruno and this academy here in Navarre. Having visited numerous academies, I can confidently say that the level of skill and instruction at this one is exceptional. The welcoming atmosphere and Professor Bruno’s teaching approach create an ideal environment for practitioners of all levels and ages, from beginners to advanced students.”

“One of the best jiu-jitsu schools I have ever had the pleasure of training at! I was in Florida for flight school and man did I luck out finding this school. Professor Bruno not only excels on the ground but also the take down game. Very family oriented. From beginner to high level belts they have a class and instruction for everyone. Highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the Navarre area”
