Jager Vartanian
"City of Palms has changed my life in every way imaginable. I walked in looking for a place to train and I found a family. The kindness and patience everyone showed from day one and continuing on to this day has been ever so refreshing. From the kids classes to the adult classes all the coaches are amazing and they want you to do well. Jiu jitsu is about the journey and I’m glad I was able to find my home!"
Dominic Paterra
"City of Palms has a welcoming environment for all levels. There’s a lot of talent in the room, so you will have plenty of training partners. Brock is detail oriented, explains new techniques very well, and is an overall great instructor. If you are anywhere near the Ft. Myers area, definitely give City of Palms a try!"
Chase Smith
"Dropped in for a morning class with my wife and one of my students. We were traveling for vacation and felt right at home. Brock is a great instructor and all of the students at city of palms were very welcoming. 10/10 recommend to drop in or if you are in the area looking for a new school this is a very good choice. Thanks Brock and city of palms crew it was a pleasure to share the mats with yall. 🤙🤙"
Jesse Frame
"I got to visit city of Palms Brazilian jiu-jitsu again this year. Every time I come in from out of town Professor Brock’s team is very welcoming and friendly. He’s a fantastic instructor and I learn something new every time I visit. If you’re in the Fort Myers area, or just passing through, you definitely need to check them out. Kids and adults will have a great experience!"
