I've been to other Jiu Jitsu academies in Vegas to see where I'd like to make my home academy. I've…read moreeven been to another Cobrinha, so the moment I found out another Cobrinha academy was opening close to my house I had to give it another try because I like the system that is taught at Cobrinha compared to a Gracie or Atos academy. Walking into Cobrinha Henderson you can immediately feel the atmosphere is welcoming and about family, it's also well kept and very clean, you can tell they take pride in their academy. Professor Sam and Professor Gizelle make you feel welcomed and they take their time to talk with you as you walk in even while class is going, I guess that's the benefit of having a Husband and wife black belt duo running an academy. These two just know what they are doing. My kids love being here just as much as I do and I can see their growth just in the 3 weeks this Gym has been opened. I feel like their attention to detail with their teaching and always doing warm ups prior to going over the techniques help keep you grounded and it also forces you to have a good foundation in your Jiu Jitsu game. So in conclusion, if you or your kids or both, need a good academy with great teaching, a family environment, clean facility and just all around great place to be then this is definitely the academy to come and sign up at.

We love this academy, it feels like family! The second you walk in the door it feels welcoming,…read moreclean and a great place for our kiddos to learn jiujitsu. I was looking for a place where both our girls could attend class at the same time Cobrinha fit the bill so our girls did a trial class (13 & 6). Our youngest loved it right away, my oldest though took a week or so to warm up but that's just how she is. Coach Sam and Coach G were very patient, still pushed the girls to try new things all while having fun. After that initial week, my oldest turned to me in the car on the way home and said, "You're right Mom, after I got over my nervousness, I love jiujitsu." If you have teens, you know it's VERY rare to hear you're right about something! I think that statement is a true reflection of Cobrinha Henderson and Coach Sam and Coach G. They're both so knowledgeable, engage the kids and encourage them to try their best. If you're looking for a nurturing and welcoming place to learn jujitsu this is it! They have beginner, intermediate, advanced and adult classes.

I'm no karate or jiu-jitsu person, but I visited Gracie Barra to attend an hour long self-defense…read moreclass sponsored by LVMPD. And WOWZA, what an experience! It's right off the 215 and Gibson exit, which makes it super easy to access. I'm currently making my way towards my bachelor's degree in criminal justice at UNLV, on track to graduate next fall, so this class was a perfect opportunity to work with Metro and what to expect when I begin a career in the criminal justice field. Can I just say that I got in a much well needed workout here? Being the big workout nerd I am, this class was extremely useful for me and I learned new moves and techniques to use anytime I'm in danger or when I feel threatened. This was an all-female self defense class, which I truly appreciated. We were introduced to one of the owners of Gracie Barra, Rafaela (I think that's how you spell her name), who guided us step after step to each self-defense workout. Some moves were easy, some moves were a little difficult and confusing than others. Other instructors went around and helped us every step of the way. My fitness levels are at a good standing and I was told by my self-defense partner that I had excellent strength, mostly in my thighs. With the conclusion of the class, everyone that attended was offered one free week of jiu-jitsu classes, plus we all got a goodie bag from LVMPD. I'm returning next week to attend one of these classes and I can't wait! Looking forward to it!

From day one, the coaches and training partners have been incredibly respectful, attentive, and focused on making sure everyone feels comfortable on the mats, especially us ladies. No weird energy, no ego, just a genuinely supportive environment. What I love most is how the classes are structured. The instructors put the majority of the time into actual jiu-jitsu technique, drilling, and live rolling instead spending half the class running laps or doing endless burpees. You get to learn and improve every single session.

Are you looking for a top notch gym in the Inspirada/Anthem area? Look no further! Before I started…read moretraining at Neale Hoerle BJJ, I started my BJJ journey at another gym in California. Circumstances brought me to Nevada, and I was lucky enough to find this gym. I've been training here for over 2 years now, and am enjoying my time here. I've been to numerous BJJ gyms and I normally look for the following: Cleanliness, teaching, and culture. Cleanliness: Being that this is a contact sport, sanitizing the mats is a must! NH thankfully takes this seriously and thoroughly cleans the mat after each class. Teaching: Classes are led by Prof. Neale who is a 3rd degree black belt. I've been to many BJJ gyms, and I can say he is the best instructor I've ever had. He breaks down technique in a methodical way that is very easy to understand, and is patient in walking you through it. As someone who is a bit of a slow learner, this is a big plus! They also have afternoon classes that are led by the senior students (Mark and Gabby), who are also fantastic teachers. In the time I've been here, I feel I have grown exponentially in terms of skill acquisition. What I appreciate most is that you get lots of feedback from the professor and higher ranks, something that is harder to find in more commercial gyms. Culture: This is probably the most important criteria for me when looking for a gym. From my first day, everyone I've encountered has been super friendly and welcoming. The school emphasizes safety and being mindful of your training partners. The tap is sacred and is highly respected! What I also appreciate is that there is something for everyone. We have a nice mix of hobbyists like myself and those who like to compete. Nothing is forced upon, and you are welcome to train at your own pace. There is a women's only class and kids class offered as well. All in all, I am thankful to have found my home gym. I can't recommend Neale Hoerle enough and encourage you to check them out! You're always welcome to do a trial if you're on the fence. Oss!
