What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Lesley Walsh
"We have been a part of the Diego Ramalho BJJ family for a year now. When we started, we told Prof Diego that our boys wanted to compete, but their previous gym didn’t. He told us he will teach them to be winners. It didn’t take long to realize he was talking about more than just jiu jitsu. Over the last year, I have watched our boys grow and become leaders in their outside lives as well as on the mats. We are so grateful to be a part of this ever growing family! Come see for yourself! Warning: can be contagious 😅🥋"
Al Rey
"I’ve been a member of this gym for almost 8 years. Best in this region! Great fundamentals and advanced techniques taught by Brazilian Black Belts. No gimmicks! My daughter became a Blue Belt after training Judo/Brazilian Jiujitsu at this academy and winning a couple of tournaments. Her confidence level at school was in direct correlation to the training she received there. Professors BigMac and Lucas are top-notch Brazilian competitors and great coaches. Their kids program is amazing!"
Aleydie Santos
"I’ve been training at Diego Ramalho bjj in spring lake for the past 3 years , and it’s been an incredible experience. The head professer, Pedro, is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He takes the time to explain techniques in detail and ensures that everyone, from beginners to advanced students, is improving."
