Signed up 8 months ago and have not looked back. It’s a great gym where you can learn a lot and also light your competitive spirit. Everyone is friendly and very helpful, and the Professor is highly knowledgeable in Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and MMA. So it’s a great environment. If you’re looking to improve your fitness, but also improve as a person, then you’re in the right place!

Best Jiu Jitsu gym I've belonged to. It is the right size for me, as it is personable and everyone is nice to get to know. The professor there is very experienced and has the accolades to match. Highly recommended, I lost 10lbs in the first 2 months!

I signed my then-11-year-old, who is now 12 years old. The bullying that my son faced at school and his lack of confidence were tough times. It is the first time that my son has participated in any sport. My son has been training in Muay Thai and BJJ for a few months now, and I must say that I have noticed a significant difference in him. His attitude is positive and his confidence is growing. School is fine. The professor believes in his team, is very dedicated, and is passionate about what he teaches. Very honest. Coaches and Team are great! Highly recommend.

The MMA Academy is a great place to go to for all ages. With the rich history of the team's outstanding success, as well as the many students that show up day in and day out... It really makes this training program the one to join! From awesome training/practices that are always changing and focused on development, to tournaments and bouts, this place is the real deal. I would suggest anyone that would like to learn or continue to develop their skills to come join Team Pereira and the rest of the MMA Academy. It is truly the BEST place and thee "Go-to" training facility.
