Victoria McSpedon
"Loooveee Powerhouse Brewster and love jiu jitsu with Paulo and Chuck! I’ve been a Powerhouse Member for a year now and have always wanted to try the BJJ classes but I’ll admit I was a little intimidated… when I finally manned up, I was hooked from the first course! The atmosphere is welcoming, the instructors are encouraging and they give clear concise direction. The best part is really the sense of community in the classes. All of the other members are so helpful and friendly and supportive. It’s truly a great environment and incredible workout! I cannot recommend the BJJ classes here enough to other newbies like myself who may want to try the sport but feel a little shy in doing so, everyone here made me feel super comfortable."
Natalia Stroia
"My son has been attending the' jiu-jitsu class, and I can't say enough great things about it! The couch Chuck is so great with kids. He is making a fun and safe environment where the kids not only learn self-defense but also important values like discipline, respect, and confidence. Highly recommend it!"
Danielle DeAndrea
"I’ve been training at Altus Jiu Jitsu for about 10 months now, and I honestly can’t say enough good things. As a female in a predominantly male program, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started—but from day one, I’ve felt completely welcomed, respected, and supported by both professor Paulo and my teammates. The environment here is incredibly positive and encouraging. Professor Paulo is not only highly knowledgeable and passionate about Jiu Jitsu, but also genuinely cares about each student’s progress and well-being. My teammates have been nothing but supportive—they push me to grow, help me learn, and always make me feel comfortable on the mat. This program has become a second home for me, and I’m so grateful to be part of such a strong and inclusive community. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your training to the next level, I highly recommend trying out a class!"
Jon da Silva
"I’ve been training at Altus BJJ for about a month and a half, and it’s been an amazing experience. Mr. Henrique is incredibly knowledgeable and a true master of his craft. He does an excellent job creating an environment that builds discipline, boosts confidence, and deepens your understanding of technique. If I could rate it higher, I definitely would. I highly recommend giving it a try, you won’t be disappointed, and you’ll leave every class feeling accomplished."
