What Our Students Say

Bill Aiken
"Fabio is a great Jiu Jitsu instructor, and even greater person. He welcomed my two teenage sons and myself to train with open arms. The atmosphere is welcoming and all the students help each other, which creates a family atmosphere that keeps me coming back each week. If you are looking for a place to train you won’t find a better place than with Fabio!"
Chase Pansler
"The best jiu jitsu coach you’ll find. Him and his family are amazing people. Great atmosphere, great students, and a competitive but safe environment. Fabio and Roberta really treat you like family! I highly recommend FNBJJ!"
Ana-Clarice Rios
"If you want to push and learn real Jujitsu, try this school. Fabio Novaes is the best. He welcomes everyone with open arms. Very family oriented sports environment, great kids class for boys and girls. Adult classes are fun, and you will get the push that you are looking for 💪."
Elvis sulfridge
"Great place to train, I started a couple months ago and I can't go as often as I'd like to because of my work schedule but Fabio always greets me with open arms no matter how long I've been out. My daughter started training same time I did and you can see here excitement and confidence growing after every class. Luckily she gets to go twice a week and she has made huge strides in a short period of time. Roberta pushes the kids to work hard and it pays off. I have never been around a nicer group of people that can also choke me out."
