I started BJJ along with my with my two sons ages 4.5 and 7 years at DGA under Professor Frankie .After trying a host of different activities for the kids including karate, soccer etc. this is the only one that the children WANT to do, our boys are thriving with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Kids Program Professor Frankie is an excellent teacher - keeping the classes fun while focusing on discipline, respect, humility, team work and responsibility. Our kids have been making their beds everyday and being helpful around the house, as this is one of the things Professor asks every class. He very much focuses on being part of a Team and working together in harmony. Our kids are also learning the foundations of grappling with hands-on experience and developing great friendships. This is real life skill, real martial arts, real defense and real family. Highly recommend the program. Adults Program When you enter the academy the first thing you notice is the beaming smile of our beloved Professor Frankie. He loves his students and is 100% committed to seeing everyone maximize their potential. He pushes hard when needed , I have seen only a handful of teachers who invest so much into their students. I have come to love and respect him as a teacher and as a brother. BJJ at DGA develops a special type of camaraderie that is unheard of in todays time. I am very grateful to have found DGA, Professor Frankie Passos and my team at this academy. You come for BJJ and stay for your new family. Oss. read more
