I’ve been a combat athlete for most of my life, competing at high levels on the mats, in the ring, and in the cage—and I’ve also spent time on the other side as a coach. I know what it takes to reach those levels and what kind of gym can get you there. This gym is one of those rare places that can truly take you to the next level. It’s not just a place to train physically—it’s a place that builds discipline, respect, and mental strength, whether you’re a young kid, a teenager, or an adult. Pedro and George are outstanding coaches who lead with patience, dedication, and real leadership across all age groups. I enrolled my autistic son in the kids’ program two years ago, and the impact has been incredible. Pedro and George have gone above and beyond to support his growth—not just in BJJ, but in life. His confidence, communication, and overall development have improved dramatically. Since then, more kids like my son have joined, and their
This is a great place to train. The team is friendly and helpful. Training is lead by Professor Pedro who will push you to train hard and develop your technique. It’s obvious he has a passion for teaching. There are several classes throughout the week and morning and afternoon so you can fit a class into your busy life. This is a family friendly environment! There are adults and kids classes to keep the whole family healthy.
Just after 2 weeks, I had to leave a review! My 5 year old son has been attending the kids BJJ classes. He has developed many new friendships and has already learned a lot in a short amount of time. It is a very family friendly environment here. The instructors are very committed to PUSHING everyone, kids and adults, to their fullest and greatest potential! If you need some of that in your life, this is the place to be 😊👍🏼
Not only is this my first experience in learning a combat sport, but its my first experience participating in any sport. Professor Pedro, and coach George create a safe and enriching environment that allows any one of any skill set to learn and develop their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) style. There's a great emphasis on respect, accountability, and remaining humble during times of great success and harsh difficulties-- which are all useful strategies that can be carried over into the many nuances of all of life's obstacles and challenges. Oss!
Our daughter has been training at Ground Control Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 4 years now. She loves the instructors and the environment. Jiu Jitsu teaches things that are helpful in all aspects of life and the competitions are great, too. We highly recommend this gym.
