Transform Jiu Jitsu Academy

"I have been training with Alex for almost 8 years now. His instruction is precise with a lot of details around each technique. The culture here is very friendly and helpful. The higher belts go out of their way to encourage and help make it a great learning experience for everyone. This is the perfect place if you're new to BJJ. Everyone is very friendly and there is a great culture of respect and support. A typical class consist of a 10 minute war- up (lots of bjj related movements) and then 20-30 minutes of learning a specific technique and then the last 20-30 minutes of rolling. It's a great workout and really fun to learn these real-life skills."

"Outstanding Jiu Jitsu Academy with Exceptional Training and Support I have been training at this incredible jiu jitsu academy for several years now and I can confidently say that it has been a transformative and enriching experience. The environment is not just great, it's exceptional, with a diverse community of dedicated individuals who are not only passionate about the sport but also supportive and welcoming to newcomers. Under the expert guidance of Professor Alexandre, I have not just learned new techniques and skills, but I have grown as a martial artist in ways I never thought possible. The structured training sessions are challenging yet rewarding, pushing me to improve and excel in ways I never imagined. What truly sets this academy apart is the emphasis on safety and respect. Every roll is not only exhilarating but also conducted with utmost care and consideration for everyone's well-being. The level of expertise and professionalism among the instructors and students is truly commendable, creating an environment where learning is not just effective but also incredibly enjoyable. I am truly grateful for the friendships I have forged here and the continuous support and encouragement from everyone in the academy. If you are looking for a jiu jitsu academy that offers top-notch training, a welcoming community, and an unmatched overall experience, look no further than this exceptional establishment. Highly recommended!"

"I trained under professor Novaes when he was at Fight Forum in La Crescenta. Hands down best instructor I've had (and I've had quite a few). His attention to detail when showing techniques is absolutely amazing. Even better if you can get private lessons. I'm bummed I'm so far from the academy now. I would love for him to do a video series akin to the Gracie academy. It would be a great alternative."

"Best instructor and coach I ever trained with and see it definitely recommend it and I see a bunch"
