What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Kara Rohlf
"I was visiting from True Believer Jiu Jitsu in Pittsburgh and was instantly welcomed to train when I came to visit my sister who lives near this location. The building is clean, modern, and friendly. There’s plenty of mat space and a nice changing room for adult and young fighters. Clean, fun, and friendly. A great place to visit or join to start your journey!"
David Shimm
"I started training BJJ fairly late in life and have now been training since late 2015. What I've enjoyed about Arte Suave is the quality of instruction - there are two black belt instructors and two brown belt instructors - each very competent and each with his own style, which allows the student to take the most applicable techniques taught be each instructor. The training is intense, yet maintaining a strong emphasis on fellowship, and, most importantly, safety."
Douglas Araujo
"Arte Suave Jiu Jitsu is definitely the best BJJ academy in the region. I strongly recommend the coaches. Hiago Adão has been training and competing BJJ for many years. He is a very skilled competitor and one of the bests is his category. When it comes to teaching, he is a role model. Patient and careful with students of all ages."
Tim Hughett
"I dropped in for a class while in town for work. Everyone in the academy was great. The instruction was awesome and the class structure was on point. I have already recommended this academy to friends in the area."
