Witnessing my daughter's remarkable development since she started in early 2023. I can clearly see they have been truly inspired. We greatly admire all the instructors and fellow practitioners, thanks to the laid-back and non-judgmental environment. Overall, we thoroughly enjoy the experience and the excellent vibe that permeates the air. Strongly recomend this gym for high level brazillian jiu-jitsu training! All levels are welcome - Kids, Beginers, intermediate or advanced..

Awesome place to train. Real jiu-jitsu classes taught with structure, starting from take down, to position, to submission. Each week has a theme to it, which helps to learn how to chain moves together along with the multiple variations. Lots of colored belts on the mat, and a wide range of ages and sizes. I highly recommend coming for a trial week to check it out.

Highly recommend!! My son is six and has been training here for about four months in the kids class. I have seen a lot of mental and physical growth. Coach David does an exceptional job of teaching self control alongside self defense. So proud my kiddo is a part of this team!

Great coaches, environment, and team! I moved to the area last year and was looking for a gym. I’ve been training over 4 years and was looking for an academy that focused on both gi and nogi. Gustavo Machado BJJ of Venice does this an also incorporates a self defense aspect. I love it here so much that I brought my children in to train too. As a female practitioner I can also say that it is a welcoming, safe, and clean environment. I highly recommend it for all levels and ages!
