What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

xavier tatlonghari

"One of the best decisions we made, was to put our son in Darcio Lira to learn juijitzu. Not only did he learn self defense, he has grown to become very disciplined, respectful, and a a good leader."

Slava Chistol

"The best place to train for kids and adults! It's not only about techniques (which are great), it teaches important values like integrity, respect, perseverance and confidence. I'm glad to have discovered Darcio Lira academy a few years back, enjoy training here while meeting great people. The journey is not easy but worth it :)"

Christina Chen

"I stopped by because I met some wonderful ladies who trained here at a jiujitsu camp. I was wowed by how knowledgeable the head instructor was. He was super technical and detailed and explained the moves super clearly. Each move he taught added upon each other making it easy to absorb and learn. Most importantly, he was super warm and welcoming, asking me how I started my journey and educating me on the history and traditions of the art. I learned so much and will definitely be back."

Robert Inez

"Started taking my son here from another gym after a free trial class. Sensei Darlynson is very enthusiastic and passionate about training Jiu-Jitsu. I like the structure and respect he holds himself and the gym to. My son got into Competition BJJ so i looked for a gym to support that aspect for him. The high level of trainning Sensei provides, is what made me move my son here and he really enjoys it. I would highly recommend this gym for your kids or for an adult wanting to learn. It's a great environment to learn BJJ and the other opportunities they provide."
