Rodrigo Pinheiro Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu La Vernia

"I’ve been training at this gym for about two years now, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made! From the moment I stepped on the mats, I felt welcomed by both the coaches and the students. The atmosphere is super supportive and inclusive, no matter your skill level. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, there’s always something to learn. The instructors are top-notch, with a deep knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and an amazing ability to break down techniques in a way that's easy to understand. They’re always patient and encouraging, pushing you to improve without overwhelming you.

The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and has a great vibe that makes you want to come back for every class. If you’re looking for a place to train, build confidence, and improve your Jiu Jitsu skills, I highly recommend stopping in for a trial. You’ll be in great hands! PS: Several members commented 25-35 minutes for training which says a lot about the quality of training and culture offered."

"I am new to La Vernia. I called in and the phone was immediately answered. The owner was so respectful and cool. Made me feel welcome and included. They explained the process and fees. They let me watch a class. Everyone was absolutely awesome. I was so impressed I signed right up. The prices were so affordable. I have never done BJJ so it was so cool that they were so ready to explain how things work. Especially for such a small town like La Vernia. Im a veteran so I also loved that a lot of them are veterans as well. I could immediately feel the brotherhood. It was also so cool to see such cool young respectful kids having fun being challenged. Even all the people I met there were really cool. So I’m extremely excited to enjoy the journey with a brotherhood. Just could not be more grateful. 😃"
