This school is amazing! Professor Vand's understanding of Jiu-Jitsu is both deep and broad, thanks to the decades of experience he brings to the mats. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and creates a safe and fun environment for all ages and body types to learn the sport. The facility is clean, air conditioned, and offers comfortable seating for parents and guests. It even has a small play space for young children. It is the perfect place for families, not only because of its design, but also because of the amazing instruction. As someone who has trained Jiu-Jitsu for 5+ years, traveled across Canada and the United States and visited dozens of gyms, I highly recommend this dojo!

Professor Vand is an outstanding jiu-jitsu instructor who we greatly miss in Charleston. His new school in Brandon, FL, looks fantastic, and the community there is lucky to have him. He creates a welcoming and high-quality training environment for all skill levels, fostering both skill development and a strong sense of camaraderie. If you're in the Brandon area, don’t miss the chance to train with one of the best!
I wanted to share how much my son has enjoyed his classes over the past three months. He always has a fantastic time! The teachers are wonderful – they are so attentive and kind, and I appreciate their ability to set boundaries and keep the children engaged. I have a four-year-old who attends, and my youngest, who is one, will likely be joining the classes when he's old enough. The facility itself is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. They have convenient changing rooms, plenty of space for parents to observe the classes and the play area is great for the little ones.
I have the privilege of training under Professor Vanderlei Habermann, and I can confidently say he brings world-class instruction, discipline, and passion to every class. His deep knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, combined with a patient and motivating teaching style, creates an ideal environment for both beginners and advanced students. Whether you’re looking to compete, get in shape, or simply learn self-defense, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!
