Vannesa De Jesús
"Absolutely recommend this place to anyone!!! Fabio and Roberta are absolutely AMAZING. I have been taking my kids for almost 2 years. They absolutely love going to class (they complain if they have to miss a day). I have noticed their confidence has grown and any time they get a new belt or stripe they are over the moon because they know how much work they have put out on the mat. We love being part of this BJJ family and I’m forever grateful for them!"

"AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. All the reviews you see here are not because anyone there asks for good reviews; he has a top tier gym and it shows in every aspect. Everything I read in the reviews was right; they are absolutely one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. I have done jiu jitsu for a a few years in my teens and this gym was top tier. On top of that I have done jiu jitsu at at least 6-7 gyms in the area and his is just the best by a landslide and a half, and really makes the other gyms seem like puppy play. Taking his class, with his students; it felt like I never learned much in the first place at the other Jiu Jitsu gyms I went to and to be frank, in my teens I placed 1st at NAGA in my weight class and above my weight class and a bit above it in my prime so that REALLY shows the levels are there and his is the highest in the area. In just one class I learned more than I have than in weeks of taking classes at other gyms. Fabio Novae’s was so helpful, knowledgeable, insightful, respectful, welcoming and friendly! I went from being very anxious walking in the door to feeling like I was at home, welcomed with a huge smile and a hug right away from Fabio. ALL the students were so nice and taught me so much in rolling and I even saw some old friends! His gym really gets around! and they really challenge you here. Like I said, I have been to many gyms and between the structure of the classes, the class etiquette, the judgement-free atmosphere and on top of it, I can’t express how NICE, insightful and well rounded his students were. Even when they were whooping my butt! lol! With grace! Don’t go anywhere else please I was told I would get charged 700$ a month at Gracie Brandon and Jesus Christ his classes are a EIGHTH of the price and TEN TIMES THE VALUE. Go here if you want to learn jiu jitsu. Don’t waste your time like I did at the other gyms in the area. Go here."

"Previous Fabio student, but the year I was in the school was one of the best years in my jiu jitsu journey. Fabio is a great professor, and runs this school more than well. I suggest it to everyone who is looking to improve their body, mind, or learn self defense. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will cover all those aspects, and Fabio and his students will be the family you need on your journey. 💯"
