Ronaldo Candido Academy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Atos JJ Michigan

“Hands down one of the best gyms in Michigan. The kids program is amazing, the instructors are top notch and have won multiple medals themselves. Their judo instructions is far and away the best I've seen.”

“We have been so pleased with Ronaldos' classes. He teaches everything a concerned family wants for their children - discipline, hard work, grit, manners, respect. My kids LOVE coming and ask to go every day of the week! All the instructors are gentle and kind while teaching excellent techniques in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.. is it just me, or is it rare to see a class of 45 kids do exactly as the teacher requires while pushing themselves and with great attitudes?? Ronaldo knows how! Also, stripes and advancements on belts are given by showing up to classes , working hard, and demonstrating skill... it doesn't feel like a business to keep kids in the program and motivate them with advanced belt colors... kids have to work hard to move up. The Wed. ladies' class is also a great bonus for moms to try BJJ”

“This is a great place for kids who need to move their bodies! We've been really impressed with the entire program. The staff to student ratio is excellent and allows for individualized lessons on safety and proper techniques in a large group atmosphere. My son is gaining confidence through hard work, self discipline and the strong sense of community that the Ronaldo Candido Academy provides.”

“Best value when you consider the number of training days available for kids and also considering that Judo is available on Saturdays for no extra cost. Other gyms might charge less but they don’t give your kids 5 days a week on the mats. Coaches are very supportive and tough. My kids have been here for a year and we’ve seen lots of improvement at home and in terms of confidence.”

“I dropped in from out of town tonight. Ronaldo Candido was teaching class. He gave terrific instruction with great details. He sets the tone in the gym where everyone was welcoming and friendly. I have a new home away from home when I'm anywhere near Novi!”
