What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Noah Torino
"What this BJJ Academy has done for not only myself but for my son has been unbelievable. They not only have instilled confidence, structure, and discipline in my son, but confidence as well. Shaolin and Andre love kids and it’s clear to see. They care about your kid and how they progress even on bad days. As for myself, an Army veteran. It has given me back that drive that I missed. My son and I bond through this experience and it is one that I would highly reccomend to anyone looking into this."
Philip Whittle
"I dropped in for a 6am class while traveling. The drop in was coordinated via text message with the number on the website. I was greeted at the door and everyone was really friendly. The facility was large and clean. Sam, who was teaching that morning was very polite, and I felt safe rolling with everyone regardless of their level. They were all good people. Great experience and I would highly recommend!"
Lisa Hernandez
"The staff and instructors at this studio are absolutely amazing. They are so skilled and patient in teaching children and instilling in them self-reliance and discipline. The studio itself is impeccably clean and comfortable. We are so happy we found VSBJJA!"
