Ed Ofi
"The instructors, Celo and Kelly, are highly knowledgeable and patient, creating a welcoming environment for all skill levels. The classes are well-structured, focusing on both fundamentals and advanced techniques. The academy also places a strong emphasis on safety and respect, making it a great place to train. I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu."
Kell Bell
"Kelly and Celo are the best teachers. My kids have done a few different ju jit classes over the years and this couple have made a huge impact on my kids. Kelly makes the kids class so fun and Celo really drives home the details of each move. PLUS the price is unbeatable!! Its the same price as others except you can 5x a week if you want. Its so amazing being able to pick and coose what days you attend class. Sure makes multiple sports with multiple kids much easier!! Im so grateful to have discovered this gem."
Joshua Bianchi
"Professor Celo teaches the true art of jiu jitsu to all levels, from beginners to Black belts. He breaks down the techniques so it’s easy to replicate and understand. His classes are always fun and hard for those who like to be challenged. Josh B- Gracie Humaita Black Belt"
Jameson Weston
"I’ve been doing BJJ for 2.5 years now and being new to Prescott I was unsure if I would find a school that lived up to the standards of my previous school…and I did! Celo Braga is a top notch instructor and this school will take over Prescott someday. Always learning the best when I’m there!"
