What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

William Devore

"Professor Rodrigo is a phenomenal teacher and his knowledge of BJJ is truly amazing! I have gained so much appreciation for the sport in such a brief period of time. The environment is very supportive, friendly and a place where you can grow mentally and physically! Professor is the MAN!!!!!!"

Amanda Lagana

"I joined Gordo BJJ because my husband signed up and we thought it would be fun to do together—but I was definitely nervous at first since I’d never done anything like this before. From day one, Coach Rodrigo, Tati, and all of the students made me feel completely welcome. Coach is dedicated, patient, and genuinely excited to help everyone learn. Tati is always smiling and kind, and the atmosphere they’ve created truly feels like family. The classes are structured in a way that works really well—starting with technique (escapes, submissions, etc.) and ending with rolling, which gives you a chance to actually apply what you just learned. I also love that the classes I go to are for all levels, so whether you’re brand new or more experienced, you’ll get something out of it. They also offer kids, teens, women’s self-defense, fundamentals, advanced classes and no-gi every Friday. All the students are super supportive, and there’s zero ego in the room. Everyone just wants to learn and help each other get better. I came in pretty out of shape, and not only have I built a stronger core, but I’ve gained a ton of confidence. All my work stress disappears the minute I walk into the gym. If you’ve ever been curious about BJJ, I highly recommend trying a trial class at Gordo BJJ. Come alone or bring a friend, either way, you’ll be welcomed with open arms. They take walk-ins and have a full daily schedule. Most students are white belts, but there’s a great mix of blue, purple, and brown belts to learn from too. I’m so glad I joined!"

"I have been so thankful for professor Rodrigo and Gordo Jiu Jitsu. We have been welcomed and treated like family since the 1st class my son attended. This class has given my son confidence and discipline. My 6 year old son truly looks up to professor Rodrigo. The classes are ran with discipline and positive comments. I am impressed with the cleanliness and warm welcomes every time we walk through the door. My son looks forward to every class every session."

Eduardo Garcia

"Training at Gordo Bjj Cape Coral has been a great experience. Professor Rodrigo is very professional, he takes Bjj really serious and that creates a respectful environment amongst students, he’s also patient and actually cares about his students improvement. The gym is always clean and very well maintained."
