"Passing through on a family vacation from UK. Had a class with these guys tonight. If there were more than 5 stars they would have them hands down. Great bunch of super friendly respectful guys. Emerson made me feel welcome, he was very informative and approachable. I have had a great evening. Hope to get another session in before I fly back to the UK. Many thanks."
"Great school! I've had my son enrolled here for about a year and a half now and it's been a great experience for him. It builds character and he's learning a skill, an art that he'll keep for life. Emerson and his coaches here are all top notch, they know how to keep the kids intrigued and engaged. Not only is it a great school but they are also very involved and active in the community."
"My two boys, now ages 10 and 5, have been attending Emerson Souza BJJ for a little over a year and they LOVE it! Emerson is a world champion and an amazing instructor. Emerson is patient, but commanding. He is fun, but thoroughly trains these kids to do and master complex moves. He is genuinely concerned about how these kids approach life in general. He instills patience, discipline, hard work and respect. Emerson brings these ideals and fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu into their everyday lives. From building relationships, working hard in school, respecting rules set by your parents and your teachers, helping out at home to diffusing potential conflicts. He has had a real impact on my boys, who look forward to seeing their coaches and friends, every time they go to class. And not only him, but all of his instructors have the same amazing qualities. It really is like a family."
"Emerson Souza's BJJ is an amazing place. We enrolled our son 3 months ago and I must say my husband and I are very pleased! Emerson and the other coaches are phenomenal - they are very hands on and they do help build the children's self confidence and self discipline. The best part of it is, when you become a member, you're not just a client you're a family!"
