"I have traveled and trained all over the place and 4 Jitz is legit the professor is so talented and technical, the students will feed off the energy you bring and match you the best they can, everyone is super respectful and mat cleanliness is top notch! One thing I hate is in some places after being on the mats for a bit the bottom of my feet get dirty! That’s not the case here, so no matter you experience level come on and give them a try!"

"Joining 4 Jitz has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As I approach my one-year anniversary, I only wish I had started sooner. I’ve always been a passionate fan of mixed martial arts, but I was hesitant to jump into training because of concerns about injury—especially given the physical demands of my job. That all changed when I met Professor Gilmar. He is the epitome of professionalism—an incredible instructor, an even better practitioner, and, above all, someone who truly cares about the well-being of his students. The training environment he fosters is not only safe, but welcoming and supportive. I never worry about getting hurt because I know Professor Gilmar always has our best interests at heart. From a health perspective, the results speak for themselves. My resting heart rate has dropped from the low 60s to the upper 40s, and my heart rate variability has significantly improved. My overall work capacity, cardiac output, strength, flexibility, and stability have all taken major leaps forward. If you're on the fence about starting jiu jitsu—take the leap. I wish I had done it sooner. Training at 4 Jitz has been the single best health and wellness decision I’ve made for myself."
