M Sergi
"Professor Larry Shealy introduced the state of Florida to jiu jitsu in the 90’s. He’s knowledgeable, experienced and cares deeply for his students."
Reba Watson
"Attended a women's self-defense class at Hendo BJJ and I couldn't be more thrilled! The class was both empowering and exhilarating. The instructors were incredibly skilled and made complex techniques easy to grasp, all while keeping the atmosphere upbeat and supportive. I left feeling more confident, strong, and ready to take on anything. If you're looking for a way to boost your self-defense skills while having a blast, this class is definitely for you! Highly recommend it!"
Champ
"I didn't know what to expect but what I appreciated most was the focus on real-life scenarios, which made the training feel highly relevant. The instructor emphasized the importance of awareness and letting others know of our comfort zone, which normally are overlooked. The environment was supportive and non-intimidating, making it easy to learn and practice new skills. This class is ideal for anyone looking to boost their confidence and acquire practical self-defense skills. It’s a valuable investment in personal safety and well-being and I highly recommend."
Brooke Watkins
"Great self defense class for beginners! The techniques are easy to perform, and the instructors were very hands on in teaching so that the techniques are performed correctly. Definitely could save your life."
