"My 11-year-old son has been attending classes here for the last two years, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative for him. The classes are fun, well-structured, and engaging and cater to all skill levels. All instructors are skilled, and patient. Professor Chad makes sure that it is a safe and encouraging environment for all the kids to learn and grow. Not only has my son developed impressive jujitsu techniques, but he's also gained confidence, discipline, and patience. I highly recommend Team Jucao LIC to any parent considering martial arts for their child."
"My 9 year old son has been training here since he was 5.5 years old. He has really enjoyed it and looks forward to class twice a week. The skills learned have helped him improve his physical endurance and strength. Practicing BJJ has also taught him about perseverance and has made him more patient and attentive. Coach Chad runs the school and has really good control of the kids and is well respected. It’s hidden LIC gem!"
"Jucao BJJ LIC is an excellent place to train for both adults and kids! Professor Chad has done an incredible job of creating a school that is a tight knit community and welcoming to all. The school has a positive and friendly environment while also respecting the traditions of bjj and focusing on hard work. Come train!"
"My kids have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Team Jucao LIC for 5 years. My daughter and son have learned about discipline and respect while getting great exercise. Not only is Professor Chad experienced at teaching the basics of BJJ techniques to kids of all ages, he makes it a lot of fun. One thing I find refreshing at Team Jucao LIC is the lack of the hidden costs/ fees associated with martial arts - in fact, a GI is provided once you sign up and there are no additional fees for promotion (stripes and belts). Professor Chad has also helped us with private lessons and small group semi-private lessons when our schedule did not allow us to attend class."
