My family and I relocated from out of the country about six months ago, and finding Double Five Jiu Jitsu Highland Village has been an absolute blessing. Under the guidance of Professor Rafael Formiga and the dedicated coaching staff, our experience at this school has been nothing short of incredible. The instruction provided at Double Five Jiu Jitsu is top-notch, truly world-class. Professor Rafael Formiga's expertise is evident in every session, and his commitment to his students' growth is commendable. The coaching staff is equally impressive, offering valuable insights and support every step of the way. The new facility is spacious and well-equipped, providing the perfect environment for training. But what truly sets Double Five apart is its community. From day one, we were welcomed with open arms and made to feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is positive, inclusive, and incredibly supportive, fostering both physical and m
By far the best Jiu-Jitsu gym I’ve ever trained at or been a part of. Formiga is a 9 time world champion and 14 time Pan Americans champion (as of 4.21.24) who is able to go do what he teaches his students to do. The family environment at Double Five is incredible and the reason why my kids wanted to get back into Jiu-Jitsu. Double Five is such a well rounded gym with instruction for those that want to compete and those that have zero desire to compete. Whatever you want to get out of Jiu-Jitsu you 100% will find here under the instruction of Formiga and his instructors. It is not uncommon for there to be 13-17 black belts in a class training and also helping all the students progress. Double Five allows all gyms to come and cross train at any time and encourages it. Double Five tries to host seminars often to bring in other instructors and show their students a different approach to Jiu-Jitsu. There is ZERO Ego from Formiga and his stu
An incredible gym, full of like minded individuals who all have a common goal, no egos just really good training from a world class athlete and champion in Coach Formiga. It’s also a Family run business which is awesome! I started 4 months ago and have attended beginners classes and doing a few advanced classes as well per week. I know they have kids classes as well… now just trying to convince my daughter to join! The schedule has so many options as well to train at different times. They’ve welcomed me with open arms and I’m really proud to be part of the community. It’s ran professionally and it’s not uncommon to see a range of black belts all weight divisions, plenty of colored belts and they all help beginners like me (huge plus point)! I cannot recommend this gym enough, really is the best place to train. I also know a lot of people within the gym who compete at all levels. A few honorable mentions for Vitoria, Trey, Ted and Mike w
We absolutely love this gym! It’s truly a hidden gem—family-owned and run by the most incredible people. Professor Rafael Formiga is not only a world champion, but also one of the most humble, kind, and patient instructors we’ve ever met. The entire family is involved, and their passion for jiujitsu and building community shines through every class. They are phenomenal with the kids, creating a supportive, respectful, and fun environment where everyone feels like they belong. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a family. We’re so grateful to be part of this amazing community!
After relocating from Arizona, my daughter has trained at this gym for over one year, and the experience has been outstanding. The instructors provide patient, high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction, truly demonstrating genuine care for the success and growth of each student while fostering steady improvement in technique, confidence, and discipline. The clean, well-maintained facility and welcoming, family-oriented environment create an exceptional sense of community and respect. We have been so impressed that three additional family members have since joined. This academy has far exceeded our expectations.
We’re traveling and looking for a place to train—and Double Five BJJ was recommended to us. I’m so glad it was! From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming—from the staff to the kids. The class sizes were just right, and the coaches were not only highly skilled but also patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about helping the kids grow. They struck the perfect balance of discipline, fun, and motivation. You can tell this team truly cares. Whether you’re local or just passing through, this is an amazing place to train! A special thank you to Rafael Formiga & Vitoria Assis for the encouragement and knowledge!
