“Great classes for both adults and children alike. You will NOT find better jiu jitsu, people, instruction, family atmosphere, or people invested in you and/or your success anywhere in the world. This place is truly one of a kind and world class. Professor Vaghi is THE original jiu jitsu in St Louis. If you want the best there is and true Rickson GRACIE jiu jitsu this is the only place to go.”

“I was hesitant at first to begin BJJ, but after meeting professor Vaghi, i knew immediately he had a passion to meet you at your capability. His community of trainers and students are very respectful and eager to help. There are no egos, just people interested in learning BJJ from the best of the best. You will not be disappointed and will feel much more confident. To have his talent and passion to teach in your backyard of St. Louis is pretty amazing. My 7 year old son has been able to hold his own when wrestling the older neighborhood kids which is pretty cool too! All around great experience. Grateful to Team Vaghi!”

“Joining Team Vaghi is one of the best decisions I have ever made! It is truly a community and I have felt a part of it since my very first training session. Professor Vaghi is so knolwlegable and has a way of explaining things that makes the training accessible to all levels. Because it is a community, You will learn from every single member from all levels when you step on the mat. I will also add that I am a self conscious person, and I can honestly say that I have never felt judged for my performance or ability. Hands down this is a great team to join and a great facility to train in!”

“I am very lucky that I found Professor Rodrigo Vaghi and the Vaghi team. The fact that the St. Louis region has one of the top world-class practitioners and instructors should be a point of pride for any St. Louis resident that values sports, athleticism and martial arts . A direct student from GrandMaster Helio Gracie and his son Rickson Gracie, Professor Rodrigo Vaghi has created a welcoming, disciplined yet fun, goal-oriented learning environment. Every black belt in the Team is a great instructor, every student is a great colleague.”
