Debbie Ventura
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mount Dora BJJ! My daughter, Skyla, has been training here for almost four years, and it has truly been the best experience for her. As she grows older, all her hard work and dedication have paid off, with numerous gold medals from tournaments under her belt. The atmosphere at Mount Dora BJJ is like no other. Coaches Annie and David are not just instructors; they are family. Their support and guidance have been invaluable, and I wouldn’t trade them for anyone. If you're looking for a top-notch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in town, this is the place to be! It’s a blessing to be part of such a fantastic community. Thank you, Mount Dora BJJ, for everything!"

The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and dedicated to helping each student improve, regardless of their skill level. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for effective training. The community here is incredibly welcoming and supportive. From the moment we walked in, we felt like part of the family. The classes are well-structured, providing a great mix of technique, drilling, and live rolling. Whether you're a beginner looking to start your BJJ journey or an experienced practitioner wanting to sharpen your skills, Mount Dora BJJ is the place to be. Special shoutout to coach David and Coach Annie for their exceptional guidance and encouragement. They truly care about each student's progress and make learning both fun and challenging. I've seen significant improvements in them technique and confidence since joining. If you're in the Mount Dora area and interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, do yourself a favor and check out Mount Dora BJJ. It's a fantastic place to train and grow. Five stars all the way!"

"BEST GYM IN LAKE COUNTY!!! I’ve been to MULTIPLE gyms in the 28 years of my existence, and this gym by FAR has the most “welcoming atmosphere “ . Coach David and Coach Annie are down to earth and as real as you can get! You feel at HOME soon as you walk through their doors. I also have 2 children that have attended for over a year now. My 5 year old (was 4 at the time) has made TREMENDOUS progress with his behavioral issues. I refer this family owned business to everyone who has had questions. I myself being 28 and my husband that’s 31 have recently joined the self defense class and LOVE IT!! This family is also very thoughtful enough to drive all the way to my sons school and add him to the route for after school pick up when they honestly didn’t have to, but they see potential in my son so they went that extra mile. They also do camp! It makes us working parent’s RELIEVED knowing our kids are in a SAFE place and having FUN so we don’t have to call out of work when the schools are closed! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!"
