"Great BJJ school for the whole family! Professor Rafael is a great instructor. Every time I come visit the school to train the staff and members are very welcoming and friendly. I encourage anyone who wants to learn BJJ to stop by and check it out. Professor Rafael is one of the best instructors to learn from."
Derrick
"I love this place. Family atmosphere with world class instruction. Professor Raphael De Lima teaches every class with attention to detail and always thinks about the best interest of his students. He brings forth his personal knowledge and experience as well his world class pedigree in BJJ. How many gyms can say that a world class black belt teaches every class and treats students like equals? I know I can say that is true about this place."
