william piorino
"The program we’ve experienced is top-notch for kids. Coach Braden and his coaching staff are not only highly skilled but also incredibly attentive to the children. It's an excellent choice for those seeking martial arts to instill discipline, as well as for kids who are interested in competitive opportunities."
Elina Neznamov
"Our son has been practicing jj for a few years now and I could not recommend this team more! We truly appreciate Coach Braden’s obvious dedication and approach to teaching all the kids! They let you come and check it out before making any large commitments which I know parents appreciate."
Nathaniel Clements
"Been coming in here to train every now and then. Super chill staff and very friendly. Great instructors too. Just an all around dope spot for a chill guy who likes to roll."
Dennis Lee
"I've been training jiu jitsu here for three years, and my kids longer. Portela BJJ has an awesome adult and kids program. Everyone here is friendly and anyone is welcome whether they have no experience or have trained before. Instructors are great and share the wealth of knowledge they have with no hesitation. The adult schedule accommodates members who can only make it in the morning or in the evening and even those who can make both."
