L Blaze
"Family owned And operated gym and it’s 1000% obvious in how they greet, instruct and lead! Proud to bring my kids here where they can develop the skills and discipline of Jujitsu under the quality leadership of Daniel! Thank you!"
Komal Gala
"We love this academy. We have been apart of this academy for over 5 years and at one point every member of the family was taking lessons. Professor Daniel nurtures a great, safe, welcoming, and clean environment. Professor Daniel is one of the best in this field (still actively competing and holding the highest titles) and has an innate skill in sharing this art form to the youngest of his students. It really feels like we are apart of a family here. Highly recommend."
Lauren Tran
"I cannot say enough good things about Daniel Tavares BJJ. My son has been attending class regularly since March 2024. He has shown huge growth, both in the sport and with his attitude and self-discipline. Professor Daniel is great, he is very passionate about his craft and enjoys teaching his students. The coaches, families and students are wonderful. Highly recommend joining BJJ."
Issac Reyes
"The Academy is definitely my family's home away from home. I've visited and checked out other academies before officially signing up my kids. When I walked in the academy's door it was definitely a wonderful family based vibe. My kids have grown so much in confidence and resilience. They have improved quickly in school. Jiu-jitsu has helped them step out of their comfort level and try new things. Professor Daniel not only knows what everyone needs but leads by example. My family and I are so happy we joined the academy. This team is a great team to be a part of."
