I have really enjoyed my couple of years of training at Rodrigo Gracie Jiu-jitsu. The other students are a great community of people who are very willing to help you learn. What stands out to me the most in my time here is that 1) Rodrigo, as a competitor in multiple combat sport formats, brings with him world class and varied experiences. Some schools focus on sport Jiu-jitsu, others self-defense. Rodrigo knows it all and has put it into practice in world class competitions and can teach techniques from multiple angles. His personal experiences are woven in to help explain why the details matter so much, in what he is teaching. 2) Rodrigo teaches. This is NOT a school he has just lent his name to. He teaches all of the classes. He isn’t a surprise guest instructor that you may see a couple times a year. He is actively instructing every class. He knows his students and takes a personal interest in helping you progress. It will be hard t
I visited 3 other big named jiu jitsu schools, including Gracie University, before I walked into this place and let me tell you that right away I knew this place was special. The school is immaculately clean. Very spacious. It offers kids programs for bully prevention. Everyone here is incredibly kind and friendly. The members all considered themselves a growing community of jiu jitsu practitioners. They're very much like a family. Personally, the best part for me is that I'm being trained by Rodrigo Gracie himself. A former PRIDE CHAMPION. Winner of the first ADCC tournament and a 6th degree black belt. And for the price, you can't find a place like this anywhere else. So, if you're looking for a great place with clean mats, great programs and friendly people then this is the perfect place. I recommend visiting the website and scheduling a free trial class. The coaches are very helpful and knowledgeable. Give it a shot, I promise you w
Great Jiu-Jitsu gym for kids (adults too!)..We found out about Rodrigo Gracie from a school friend. After our son experienced some bullying issues, we decided it was time to have him learn some self defense skills. The instructors are awesome and really care about their students. Not only do they teach Jiu-Jitsu, they teach respect & kindness. A few things stand out to me about this gym - it’s spotless; the owner, Rodrigo, actually teaches the classes; also, all the instructors know their stuff and have a great command of the classes. They offer a free trial class and I can without a doubt recommend this Jiu-Jitsu school. They’re also opening a location in the Peninsula Shopping Center next year.
My daughter loves Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Master Rodrigo, Ms. Fernanda and the rest of the instructors. What initially surprised me was how hands-on Master Rodrigo was/is with classes. He instructs every class and is terrific with the kids. He, and the other instructors, are great with the children of all ages groups. I say it initially surprised me because I now watch how he conducts his classes (for almost two years now) and see how methodical his “Bully Prevention” curriculum is. It boosts the confidence of students and they learn by having fun. The flexibility of his class schedule is also a bonus for busy parents as well. Obviously I recommend Rodrigo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. It has been great for my daughter and I respect what Master Rodrigo and his team have accomplished. Jim O
My elementary school aged daughter has been taking classes here for a little over 2 years. They are great in keeping the kids attention and making it a lot of fun. They emphasize anti bullying and self defense and being well behaved kids overall, which as a mom, I love. Kids are given guidance on how to de-escalate situations and get help from parents/teacher/other trusted adults, in addition to learning Jiu-jitsu. Each belt promotion test is usually accompanied by a report card filled out by the parents on things like eating healthy, good grades, being respectful and obedient to parents and teachers, and being a good sibling, so these things can also be reinforced at the school. Their schedule of classes is really flexible with classes for kids after school and Saturday morning. Sunday is the only day they historically weren't open (pre pandemic). Because we can go to class any day we choose it really fits into our schedule convenientl
I first trained with Rodrigo back in the 90s when he moved to New York. I trained with him for about 8 years, traveling into Manhattan to take his class and then to long Island when he was out there. I been doing BJJ since 1995, been a black belt since 2004 and have been lucky to have trained with so many top names and legends in the art of Brazilian Jiu jitsu. Rodrigo is at the top of this list! His knowledge and skill are among the most elite in the world, that goes without saying but he is a genuinely great guy as well. Humble, friendly and truly cares about seeing you progress in BJJ. I owe a whole lot of my development to Rodrigo. If you are looking for one of the best instructors/ grapplers in the the world, who also happens to be an incredibly nice guy, look no farther. I wish Rodrigo was closer to me, I'd still be taking classes with him when not teaching my own. Rob Kahn Gracie Tampa
