Raul Tico
"I've been training at Ocala Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy since 2019, and it's been a great experience. The atmosphere is super friendly, and from the very first day, I felt welcome. The instructor is very skilled and always take the time to help you out, no matter your skill level. The best part is the community—everyone is there to help each other improve, and it feels like a big family. It’s a great place to learn and have fun, and I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else!"
Louisa Pattillo
"I came to visit this gym from Tennessee as a guest. My daughter also got to be a guest in the kids’ class. Everyone was so nice to us. My brother got to try his first ever jiu jitsu lesson, and he enjoyed it as well! Great school:)"
Sarah Heying
"I toured a few gyms in the area before deciding to start training at Ocala Brazil Jiu Jitsu Academy a few weeks ago. The instruction is clear and easy to follow, and everyone is welcoming and supportive of each other's success. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to either start in, or continue their bjj training!"
Breyden Marquis
"Me and my brother have been going to this gym for a combined total of over 15 years and it is one of the best and most comfortable dojos I have ever been to. Highly recommend to anyone to even try it for a few nights before you decide. It’s an amazing gym with great people to learn from."
