Keidy Zardas
"Training at Team Forsa has been an incredible experience. Professor Anderson provides top-level coaching, blending deep knowledge of jiujitsu with a teaching style that’s both clear and engaging. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, his dedication to his students’ growth is evident every step of the way. What really sets Team Forsa apart is the community. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported. The teammates here are patient, helpful, and always willing to share tips or roll at a pace that matches your level. It’s a place where everyone is genuinely invested in each other’s progress. If you’re looking for world-class instruction and a supportive environment to grow your skills, I can’t recommend Team Forsa and Professor Anderson enough!"

"As a former martial arts instructor myself, I know how important it is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. My son, who has ADHD and is very hyperactive, started with Professor Michelle at Team Forsa a little over a year ago when he was 6 years old (now 7). Watching him in Jiu-Jitsu class, you wouldn’t be able to tell that he struggles with focus or hyperactivity. We were immediately impressed with how Michelle taught the class, interacted with our son, and even called his attention when he misbehaved. With her strong Judo background, she instills a level of discipline and focus in the children that I have never seen in any other Jiu-Jitsu school. Her approach is not only highly skilled but also filled with patience and understanding, making the learning process enjoyable for the kids. In the beginning, our son misbehaved more often than not, so much so that we often felt embarrassed by his actions. Each time we apologized, both Professor Michelle and Professor Anderson never made us feel uncomfortable or judged. Instead, they reassured us that it was just a phase and part of the process and that with 'teamwork' between parents and the professor, things would improve. Michelle's calm, supportive approach, filled with patience and understanding, gave us hope, and sure enough, it worked! Over time, we saw a significant positive change in his behavior, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance and support. We loved her teaching style and the safe environment she provided in her class so much that we decided to enroll our 2.5-year-old (now 3) in the little kids' class, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. In fact, we plan to enroll our 1-year-old in her class as soon as he's old enough to join! We've recommended Team Forsa to several of our friends, and ever since our son started, six kids have joined the team through our recommendation. Five of them are from my son’s Judo club, whose parents have experience with martial arts either by practicing themselves or by watching their kids' classes at the Judo club, and they can easily recognize how safe and well-structured the environment is for children. Whether you intend to have your child compete in tournaments or simply want them to take Jiu-Jitsu for the confidence, discipline, and focus it builds, Team Forsa is the perfect place. Watching both of our children thrive under Michelle and Anderson's instruction has been such a rewarding experience. Team Forsa has truly become our second home. We're there almost every day! It's more than just a Jiu-Jitsu school; it's a community where children, parents, and even grandparents train together. The atmosphere is welcoming and family-oriented, making it a place where everyone, regardless of age, skill level, or "disability", feels like they belong. It's truly a place where the whole family can grow together, both on and off the mats."

"I’ve been training at Team Forsa Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for almost six months, starting with absolutely no prior experience. From day one, Professor and all the team have been nothing but supportive, patient, and highly skilled. Not only have they helped me develop technical skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but they’ve also guided me in building mental toughness, physical strength, and overall confidence. They ensure that everyone, regardless of skill level, can learn and progress. The team fosters a culture of respect, discipline, and continuous improvement, making each session something to look forward to. If you’re looking for a place to grow as a martial artist and as a person, I can’t recommend Team Forsa highly enough! This has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I’m excited to continue my journey here."
