What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Anthony S
"My son started training under Bruno a year ago. In the last year i have seen great improvements in his discipline, listening ability and athleticism. We’ve tried similar gyms but nothing compares to the atmosphere and community feeling we get from Bruno. Thanks Bruno"
Veronica G
"I've played sports since I was five - tennis, hockey, softball; I even played women's professional football a few years ago - and Bruno is hands down the best coach and mentor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His passion for the sport of Jiu Jitsu and its life-changing potential is contagious. His instructors are an extension of Bruno's knowledge and passion, and each instructor brings his own value to the academy. Bruno's students come from all walks of life but on the mat we all come from the same place. We all help each other improve and share in each other's accomplishments. It's such a positive atmosphere! Even when I complete, and it's just me and my opponent on the mat, I'm aware that the entire academy is with me in my battle. After every match, whether I win or lose, I thank all of my instructors and training partners for helping me and we all meet back on the mats for some more training. BJJ is the most involved sport I've ever practiced. The knowledge base is immense, mind-boggling really, but the rewards are endless. After two years with Bruno I look back and see just how far I've come, but realize my journey's just begun. I'm excited to see where I'll be another two years. Then ten years from now, and twenty. Thanks to Bruno and his team I'm a BJJ lifer!"

"Been training with Bruno and the team since 2010. Bruno has always provided a friendly environment along with world class technique. Bruno has watched me grow up on and off the mats and it is honor to call him a friend as well as a Professor."
