As a parent of a child in Professor Bruno Lima's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class, I'm highly impressed. Professor Bruno's lifelong dedication to the sport, which started at age 15 in 1998, is truly inspiring. His teaching commitment is remarkable. He began as an assistant and later taught underprivileged kids in Rio De Janeiro, showcasing not just expertise but a heart for the community. As a parent, it's reassuring to have such a caring instructor. Professor Bruno's competitive achievements, like being a Brazilian National Champion and Pan American Medalist, make him an inspiring figure for our kids. With dual master's degrees in Biomechanics and Physiology, his coaching blends technical expertise and scientific knowledge, enhancing our children's learning. At the Bruno Lima Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in Chico, Professor Bruno provides an authentic experience while instilling discipline and respect in our kids. We're grateful for the opport
From the time we found out we were having a boy, my husband always said that he wants his son to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from an actual native Brazilian black belt. We always figured that we were going to have to go to Sacramento, CA to achieve that goal. I remember I found out about a year and half ago that we actually had the exact gym that we were hoping for right in our hometown. I called my husband, and he went and checked it out, and our oldest son went that night to practice. We have been there pretty much every week since (and not because we are making our kids, they don't ever want to miss). I tell everyone I know that they need their kids to come and learn from Bruno. I love knowing that my child has learned how to defend himself if he is ever in a bad or bullying situation. It is a fun and safe environment that kids ages 3 and up will enjoy and benefit from. Whether you're looking for self-defense class or looking to get in
Bruno is the man! Do not let his size fool you. I was in town for a work trip and decided to join a friend for the first time. Yes. First time doing any sort of Jiu Jitsu. I sat through the youth session and joined the adult session. Bruno took the time to share some warm ups and allowed me to join in with his team. One of his students, (Josh) was extremely helpful with working with this noob. Throughout the whole training session, Bruno keeps it straightforward no sugar coating. If he sees you're slacking off, he will call you out on it. If he can add value to your technique, he will add his input! At the end of the session, he was giving a motivational speech that felt personal for me. Accountability. Simple as that. You cannot get past beginner stage if you're not willing to sacrifice unhealthy food, alcohol and bad habits. Thank you again Bruno and team for the open and friendly environment.
This is an absolutely amazing place to train. Starting out at over 40 y/o, I found the experienced students to be very friendly and supportive, great group of mellow and capable people. Professor Bruno was quick to reply to my questions about the enrollment process. If your interested in trying the place out, show up in gym clothes 10 minutes before a scheduled class and the experienced folks will show you what to do. My 7 y/o is in the kids class. It’s a good mix of girls and boys, and the instructors are great at teaching children.
If you're looking for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for yourself or your kids, Bruno Lima BJJ is the best place to learn. Bruno is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt from Rio de Janeiro,and has been teaching in Chico since 2010. He's great when it comes to teaching and explaining the techniques to the kids and adults. I highly recommend Bruno Lima BJJ for beginners and advanced students.
I've always wanted to learn bjj but never found a place in my town with the right vibe until I met Bruno, I've been training for a year and a half and can't get enough. My six year old son also trains and loves it. If your looking for a fun way to exercise and learn self defense this is for you. The best part of this gym is the family atmosphere. I have a real sense of team with my fellow gym members and I have become good friends with them. I'm proud to be part of Bruno's gym and even more proud to call him my friend.
