What Our Students Say

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

Erica Brown

"Jiu Jitsu has become such an important part of my daughter’s life! It has given her the courage to stand up for herself, bolstered her self-confidence, provided a safe place to grow and learn, as well as bringing wonderful friendships into her life! We have tried many different sports, but Morumbi has been a far superior experience. After attending for this last year, I have watched my daughter gain so many valuable skills that go beyond just Jiu Jitsu - like accountability, responsibility, and integrity. We highly recommend Morumbi because of all they have to offer!"

Lance Woleslagle

"In the short time (approx 1 month) that I’ve been participating at Morumbi I cannot believe the fun I’m having and the health benefits… I’ve lost some weight, my endurance is improving and the skills I’m learning and friends I’ve made are a testament to the positive impacts jiu jitsu can have on your life. In particular, I’m so stoked on how the professors and coaches at Morumbi have welcomed my son and I into the fold and truly care that you are grasping the skills and enjoying the process!"

angelica benavides

"Disappointing Experience at Morumbi Jiu Jitsu I had high hopes for Morumbi Jiu Jitsu, especially for my child, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. One of the most concerning issues was the pairing of children for sparring and drills. It seems there was little consideration for the varying experience levels among the kids. As a result, my child felt overwhelmed and discouraged, which is the opposite of what we were looking for. Additionally, the focus on teaching techniques seemed to overshadow the importance of making learning enjoyable for the kids. Training should be a fun and engaging experience, especially for younger students, but the environment felt rigid and overly technical. I believe that fostering a love for the sport is just as important as mastering techniques, and this balance was unfortunately lacking. I hope the management takes these issues into account to improve the experience for future students. For now, I cannot recommend Morumbi Jiu Jitsu based on my child’s recent experience. Also $350 a month is outrageous."

David Robert

"This place is great. Family friendly teaches kids discipline focused self-defense, perfect and fun for all ages, and the professors coaches owner and his wife play a big part in teaching this community together. My daughter's teacher said to my daughter how great that this program helps her in school."
