Ari Huber
"Professor Dom is a great teacher, He loves Jiu-Jitsu and teaches in a manner that emanates both his joy and detailed understanding of the sport. I came from Canada to escape the snow during February and trained several times at his Do Jo, Gracie North Port Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Professor Dom was welcoming, professional and took the time to learn about my own skill set so that we could engage in a thoughtful and safe manner. He has a disarming and calming approach to his teaching style. You can tell that he has a deep understanding as he will demonstrate examples of various outcomes depending on certain moves and responses with what was being taught. We did several guard exercises which I found helpful. He touched on certain nuances about positions that made a huge difference. He rolled to my level and allowed me to demonstrate what I learned and then let me experience a little bit of his skill (which needed only very limited utilization) to inspire me to train more, to learn more and develop greater skills. I had a lot of fun. Thank you Professor."
Brian Mullis
"I dropped in while visiting family and would highly recommend this gym. Coach Dominic was welcoming and knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed his coaching style. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area."
Drew
"My son and I both train here, Coach Dom is great and the other students are super cool. I have learned so much these last 6 months, 10/10 would get leg locked again."
Mike O'Hara
"I visited my Mother months ago and dropped in to Dom's Academy 3 times that week for beginners classes. I read nothing but great things about him on r/bjj or whatever it is and he was as advertised. He is very chill and friendly as well as knowledgeable. I will definitely drop in again the next time that I am in town!"
