"Amazing gym! I needed to find a place that was closer to my home I heard to check this place out from a friend. I went to one practice and immediately signed up. Been home ever since. I was welcomed with open arms by everyone. My bjj has significantly got better from learning with Pablo and John. It truly has changed my life for the better and for that I thank you!"
Toure Brown
"Have been working with Varro and Pablo for a few years now and these are some really down to earth guys. They’ve been there to help me with this grappling journey since I started Bjj. They are always breaking down techniques with detail and always express the importance of safety. You know you’ll have a good time, a good roll, and a good learning experience going with these two."
