Alexander Gagarin
"Had a great experience training at Renzo's Ft Lauderdale while on vacation. There's a lot of mat space and tough technical training partners. Atmosphere is very welcoming. Prof Juan and the rest of the team are all open and very approachable. Advanced class is actually =advanced= and the level of instruction is high. This is exactly the type of the gym I would not hesitate to send my kids to or recommend to visitors."

"Dropped in to no-gi morning class here while on vacation. Instruction emphasized fundamentals and attention to detail. Besides the high-level instruction, what resonated most with me was the camaraderie, friendliness, and welcoming environment. If I lived in the area, this would be my home gym hands down! Would recommend this gym to anyone in the area. You can trust your entire family, kids and women to be trained well here."
Vera Pichugina
"Best school in Ft. Lauderdale hands down. I've traveled a lot and trained in a lot of high level jiu jitsu/mma gyms, the instructors and the people that train there are amazing. I'm glad I can call this gym my home gym now! The no gi Sundays are on another level here."
Michael Mendoza
"Visiting from Northern Virginia area, there are many gyms around Florida area but wanted to check this place out. I had a great experience at Renzo Gracie BJJ. Went to one of their classes and a open mat. Everything felt clean. Everyone was very welcoming. GREAT ROLLS! all types of belt colors. I weigh 135lbs 5ft 6in I wish I can see more people my size; a lot of bigger guys in this gym but there were a few guys my size, but didn’t see so much :/ Felt like I progressed; it was enough to push myself over my limits and come out feeling great. Loved it! Great JJ. Great representation of the BJJ culture/community:) The coach is dope too!"
