"SIMA (formerly Porto de Carro BJJ) is a great place to learn and train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are excellent: very skilled, experienced, and dedicated to the art. The school is very welcoming, casual and friendly. Visitors are always welcome to come in and watch or participate in a class. I've been training here for several years now. I love how it challenges me and pushes me to become better. It's great fitness for the mind and body."
