Suzy T
"I never in a million years ever saw myself doing martial arts of any kind but here I am. I have learned and fallen in love with Brazilian Ju Jitsu, for so many reasons. This school is family first, the support that is given to new students especially women is off the charts. Professor Vieira and the more advanced students are so patient and understanding, so willing to help new students along in this journey. Then as a woman add the self defense skills I am learning the self awareness, the confidence if you have even once wondered about BJJ come to Vieira Academy, see for yourself how amazing this place and these people are. Thank you Professor Vieira for all that you are doing for me in this journey. I can never thank you enough."
