Joshua Howle
"Great gym with great people and a very welcoming atmosphere. Prof. Aragao is a great instructor who will invest his time and knowledge if you are willing to put in the work/time to learn. Highly recommend!"
Frank Velez
"Competitive Edge Combat Sports is a great place to be. Professor Aragao Is one of the most down to earth and humble people I know. In addition, he is also an amazing jiu jitsu instructor and will help you master the art of the sport."

"Dropped in and trained with Professor Aragão. Great class. Awesome facility. I was just passing through so I did not partake in any cross training however everyone was very kind and welcoming. Small mat space in a cross fit gym but by no means a mcdojo. Their lineage is prominently posted on their site and they are team SAS. If in the area it is worth training at."
Grant Etheridge
"If you are considering starting jiu jitsu or looking for a place to join, I would highly recommend CEC Sprots. Professor Francisco is one of a kind! A truly humble and welcoming person. I dropped in for a Monday night gi class (traveling through Florence on business) and I was immediately made to feel welcome. Great training, great students, and a great professor. Thanks again Francisco. I will visit again!"
