As a brazilian jiu jitsu white belt who started training at a gym in Florida, moving back home to Davis and joining Nova Geracao (NG), was honestly mind-blowing. At my previous gym, techniques were taught more like a cookie-cutter system where you would learn step by step for one exact situation that doesn't really work in the real world but Professor Michael completely changed how I understand jiu jitsu. Instead of memorizing isolated bjj moves, Michael teaches concepts and explains how a submission or transition can exist across all positions and brazilian jiu jitsu guards, whether you’re in top pressure, open guard, or closed brazilian jiu jitsu guard. A great example where Michael teaches this, is when he breaks down why basic techniques, like the brazilian jiu jitsu arm bar work using real physics, philosophy, and body science...yes, including the exact scientific names of muscles and bones (get ready to learn and remember the name
In August of 2022, I left the following review of Nova Geracao Davis: I was interested in BJJ for my children and I emailed Michael at Nova Geracao to inquire. He replied within a few minutes and offered me and my kids the opportunity to come observe a class. Not only did he spend significant time educating us but he invited the kids to participate and was most welcoming. He was also great with the other kids in the class. You could tell they loved him. So long as the kids are on board, this is for sure our new BJJ gym. Can't wait to start! Here in February of 2025, I am still training ... and so are my 3 kids. Professor Michael Quigley and Nova Geracao Davis are my family now. We're at the gym almost every day. Its such a fun, positive, and challenging environment, and I've learned that jiu jitsu has been and will continue to be an awesome, life-long hobby. To push things further, we're now training Muay Thai in the Striking Class twic
Great place to train. I have only been to the AM classes. I'm a brown belt who has trained at several academies due to traveling for work. Pros: -Good variety of training partners. AM classes have a couple white belts, couple blue belts, couple purple belts and a couple brown belts. There are a couple of us big guys too, which is nice -Good training atmosphere, no hot heads -AM classes every day of the week -Clean mats -Michael (main instructor) and Gigi are great. Both are very technical and give hands-on instruction. I've been really impressed with the attention to the basics. The instruction is what sold me on staying at NG. Cons: -I don't think there is a shower. Not a problem for most of us that live close by, but might be difficult for someone from out of town who wants to train before work (AM class) -I wish I could get NG patches for my old gis instead of getting new gis I was really apprehensive about leaving my old team but ha
Nova Geração is undoubtedly the best jiujitsu academy where I've dedicated several years of training. Head instructor Michael Quigley exemplifies an exceptional commitment to detail in every aspect of our practice. His meticulous approach not only refines our techniques but also instills a profound understanding of the art. Michael places a strong emphasis on safety, ensuring that we navigate through jiujitsu scenarios with awareness. The academy feels like a community that fosters growth, not just physically but also mentally. The atmosphere encourages problem-solving on the mat, treating complex situations in jiujitsu as challenges to be methodically addressed. Training at Nova Geração has not only honed my skills but has also created a supportive environment where I feel like I have a second home.
I have 17 years of experience practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Nova Geracao Davis is where I have chosen to continue my training. I came up the belt ranks and received my black belt in a different BJJ lineage. I have also trained at a few different academies over the years. Nova Geracao stands out for being inclusive of students from all walks of life. It is LGBTQ friendly, and welcoming to students of differing athletic ability. Michael (Davis Owner / Head Instructor) is aware that each student will develop their own game based on body type, level of athleticism and personal preference. There is a collaborative atmosphere between students and very little ego on display. The quality of BJJ instruction is world class, with technique refinements and details that I have never seen anywhere. Classes often feel more like seminars rather than an explanation of one or two moves. I can't recommend this academy highly enough.
I've been training at Nova Geração for just over a year and I love it here. The gym is like a second home and family. It has a fun and supportive atmosphere. The instructor Michael is a great coach and teacher. He is able to push people to fulfill their potential as well as explain the details of jiu-jitsu simply, with easy-to-understand metaphors. This gym is great for competitors - the wall of medals demonstrates the program's effectiveness - and those motivated for different reasons: self-defense, self-improvement, or fitness. Training here teaches discipline, respect, confidence, and humility. I know it isn't for everyone, but for someone serious about learning jiu-jitsu, this is the place to train. Plus the music is great. Good for dancing.
