What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Martina Mladenova

"Nothing beats a 4 year old, marching happily to a class...any class! But the fact that it's jiujitsu, and it's led by a great role model, like Master Andre, makes it ever so much better! Thank you for being there for the kiddoes and the adults alike🤍🥋🏋️‍♂️ 🏅"

Juliana Lovo

"Werdum Nantucket is hands down the best gym on the island! The facilities are top-notch, with a wide variety of equipment and workout areas. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help you reach your fitness goals. I love the sense of community here; everyone is supportive and motivated. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, Werdum has something for everyone. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get fit and have a great time doing it! The Jiu-Jitsu for women’s rock it! Is the best class! I would recommend it!"

"This place is amazing. I have been going to the island every summer for quite a while. It was always hard to find a place to train when I was on vacation. When I showed up here, I was treated immediately like it was my home gym. Im a black belt with my own school and this summer when I take my vacation to Nantucket, I will be training at Werdum. The place was immaculate. The training partners were fun and respectful, and I'm looking forward to my vacation this year and every summer. Give it a try."

Debra P

"Andre and Heloisa do an amazing job. The jujitsu program has changed my daughter’s life. They are 2 of the most passionate and caring people I’ve met and that is what makes this gym and the programs so valuable to this community!"
