Nick, the owner and chief instructor has a very impressive background and has a world of experience above and beyond the martial arts. His meticulous attention to detail shines in every aspect of the instruction and operation at XGJJ. He also has managed to assemble a great team of partners and coaches with Gino and Brad. The environment is great. If you are looking for a respectful, family like atmosphere where the coaches and students are passionate about life and their craft, you found it. I really enjoy the instructional format they follow. It allows rapid absorption of technique with good levels of retention. The techniques shown are solid and show the evolution from traditional to modern application. Although this is not a traditional martial arts school, the tenants of honor, respect, and brotherhood have been well preserved. They have cardio and weight equipment and a boxing ring as well. There is a personal trainer named Brandon on site who is knowledgeable in nutrition, fitness training, and supplementation. As this is a complete gym it could replace your gym membership. My boys really enjoy the children's classes and they have learned more than just martial arts. I have referred several family friends and they have enjoyed the experience as well. The school is affiliated with Fight Sports in Miami. While on vacation, I had the opportunity to drop in and train with them. It was good to have a place to train while out of town and the atmosphere there was great and the chief instructor was very friendly and welcoming as well. There are no long term contracts! My family has had a great experience here and would recommend them to anyone.

I tried calling at first but there was no answer, so I went to their website and partially filled out the information request. After their last class concluded, I received a text message from Chuck. The message was very professional, polite, and informative. I had a brief conversation via text about what I was looking. Instead of trying to push a quick sale, Chuck took the time to see what MY schedule looked like and showed me sessions that would fit what I was looking for as well as my schedule. I decided I would give it a shot. They offer one "Free" session for you to try it out and several different packages to meet a wide range of price points. I arrived at the gym about 15 mins before the start of the 7pm session. I wanted to watch a little bit of the interactions and sign any waivers that were needed. Chuck was teaching and still took the time for a quick greeting, before continuing with his session. As the class concluded, I was able to get the paperwork filled out and was provided a loaner gi. I explained that I had zero knowledge of the sport. That didn't faze Chuck or the rest of the class at all. Everyone was friendly, laidback, and took the time to help me not just learn the steps but understand why they were there. There wasn't a moment throughout the entire experience that I was bored or wasn't laughing. By the end of the session, I was ready to sign up. If you're looking for a new hobby, I highly recommend checking this place out. Great environment and amazing people.

I have 4 grandkids in their youth class and. they love it. Fabio is very patient with the kids and explains each move very carefully and takes time with each child who is having difficulty with a new move. both Fabio and Roberta will "grapple" with the kids to help them gain better knowledge of the diffrent positions. I love the fact that Fabio is the soft spoken teacher and Roberta is the "drill sgt". They both love and encourage the kids, are quick to be there when one of the kids might be hurt and they are always there for a word of encouragement or a big hug whenever a kid wants one. Fabio and Roberta are two fantastic people.

They even allow you to try the classes for one week for free to make sure you like it before joining and even then, there is not a contract. Fabio's philosophy is that he doesn't want to have a contract to force you to be there, he wants you to be there because you want to be. My only regret is that I didn't start training 20 years ago. I cannot recommend Fabio Novaes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to you enough. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. You won't regret it.
