The vast 30,000 square foot space is conjoined with the Xtreme Fitness and Performance Center and the Powerhouse Gym (strength and conditioning partner). I particularly like the Academy because Instructor and 3rd Degree Black Belt Jorge Gurgel takes great pride in personally teaching technique on an individual basis. Ever present and teaching many of the classes, Professor Jorge takes a personal approach and will make sure you have mastered every detail- even if you are just starting out. Adults and Children of all ages are welcome. Parents have a great vantage point watching their kids from the observation deck overlooking the mats. Its a great layout! A testament to the Academy and the caliber of training is Instructor Jorge Gurgel was a professional MMA fighter in the UFC, Strikeforce, Titan Fighting Championship and currently competes in International Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. The Academy has trained multiple UFC, Bellator and Mixed Martial Arts champions including legendary UFC fighter Rich Franklin. The Academy has 13 affiliate schools including locations in Brazil and Dubai. Always a very friendly group, you will be warmly welcomed whenever you feel you want to give it a shot!

As a 60 years old, I was tentative in exploring Jujitsu. After completing a months trial, attending…read moreover 40 and beginner adult classes I found the culture is very supportive of some one my age. Additionally, the staff is very friendly and helpful. In the classes, we always start with a warm up. Then a discussion of the intent of the session. Usually there a a break to regroup on what the professor is observing, and discussion of points of emphasis. I also am impressed with all my training partners, especially higher belts i have worked with, having open discussions of what is working, effective and not. Of course the professors are always available for questions and clarification. On a personal note, I am very active 60 year old. I found my core strength is improving and other areas in need of strength and conditioning are exposed for me to work on. I try go get to classes 15-30 minutes early just to loosen up.

I tried to have a conversation with the owner about this in the midst of physical rehabilitation for myself and the guy squared me over on my payments, and made sure despite a cancellation that he juiced me for that extra $100 dollars on the way out the door. It's a family thing, it seems. I sent the owner an e-mail venting frustration and he sent me a 3rd grade response pretending to not understand what happened. Looks like membership is declining. Good luck working around the goofy hours and paying an incredibly unreasonable price for no professional instruction, with trash level amenities besides a leather punching bag.
