What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Mike Paclik
"Coach Joao is a master in teaching the proper technique for BJJ, and my experience working with him has been beneficial is many ways. Not only does he teach you how to improve your martial arts on the mat, he helps his students see the benefits of BJJ in their daily lives through his wisdom. I would highly recommend for both adults and especially kids looking to build their confidence and resilience."
Darren Sack
"I brought my teenage boys to Joao for self defense, discipline, mental toughness, and confidence. They are very different boys and Joao was able to adjust his teaching techniques on the fly to maximize results. I highly recommend private classes."
Chris Aucoin
"I am so glad we enrolled my son into Joao’s classes. Not only is he having a blast but he is learning so much and making new friends . The instructors are very hands on and so good at explaining techniques with great attention to detail. The best part of the classes for me is they are teaching the kids respect, focus, and building community. I would highly recommend Joao Crus Jiu-Jitsu"
Brit Clayton
"Coach has had five “one on one “ private lessons with me and is devoted to help me be successful. I am 72 years old and have never had any training in martial arts. He is patient and I appreciate this. In my heart of hearts, I feel that he has my best interest in his heart. Super individual!!! I feel that he is more than just a martial arts coach. I feel that he’s a life coach as well."
