Renzo Gracie Shoreline Academy

“First time trying bjj and I could not have found a better place. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and capable of working with all levels of students. The students are all ages and an extremely welcoming group that are all interested in not only bettering themselves but their classmates as well. I will definitely continue training here.”

“A great place to learn BJJ. This is a place of very knowledgeable instruction. Your ego is not your amigo when you’re here. Andrew Papadopolous will show you the way of Bjj and also tell you some real cool stories.”

“I have trained Martial Arts for over twenty years. I have training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from NY to FL. Renzo Gracie Shoreline Academy is a top notch training center headed by Professor Andy Papadopoulos. Professor Andy provides a safe place to train hard. Great atmosphere, helping training partners and a wealth of knowledge derived directly from Renzo Gracie.”

“I’ve trained with coach Andy for the past 7 years. He’s a highly technical teacher and has a deep knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Even after years of training I still learn something new every class. The group of students Andy has drawn to his academy are all wonderful people. They all put their heart and soul into their training and it shows. You won’t find any big egos here. We push each other to do our best in every class but never at the expense of being kind and respectful. If you are looking for a place that will help you mentally and physically, get you in better shape, and give you the confidence to defend yourself if need be, you’ve found it!”

“World class Renzo Gracie Team right here on the shoreline. I've been training for over a year now. Coach Andy is an awesome coach and friend. We have all ages training here. Everyone is extremely helpful. If you're local and want to try BJJ come down and check US out.”
