College Park is now blessed to have a brand new Gracie Jiu Jitsu location in the area! Miguel is a…read morefantastic teacher who truly enjoys what he is doing. Regardless of whether he is leading the kids class or working with the adults in the later session, you can see Miguel's passion emanating clearly. He has a very calm demeanor that instills confidence in others. While this academy is focused on teaching you all the jiu jitsu techniques and fundamentals, the school is also focused on guiding you through the mindful aspect of the sport and working through the calm amongst the chaos. This isn't just focused on rolling, takedowns, and submissions, but rather a lifestyle to help folks leave stronger and more confident in theirselves both physically and mentally. Looking forward to seeing this academy's continued growth under Miguel's guidance!

Right as you walk into Gracie Jujitsu College Park Orlando, the first thing you will notice is how…read moreclean the entire space is. Miguel, the owner does an amazing job to ensure that the entire school is spotless. This is the first thing that showed me how passionate Miguel is about his business and for the art of jujitsu. After my first few classes, I really was able to see how passionate and knowledgeable Miguel was on all things jujitsu. At my day job I work in corporate training and to see how well Miguel is able to articulate WHAT he's doing, WHY he's doing it, then switch to real life examples, and analogies, to ensure everyone in the class is on the same page is awesome! The last thing I love about Gracie Jujitsu College Park Orlando, and Miguel, is his level of care to every student. Wether it's their jujitsu knowledge, level of fitness, or their body. I'm a little older than some of the students and Miguel is always quick to point out modifications that I could do to keep me safe and ensure that all of the other students are safe, when rolling at his school. I've been to other jujitsu spots in the past where they try to "beat you up" or prove how tough their students are, but this was the opposite at Gracie Jujitsu College Park Orlando. Miguel does an amazing job of ensuring everyone in each of the classes is safe and has a good rolling partner to come back to the next day. If you've ever had an interest in jujitsu, self-defense, or just looking for a new cardio exercise, I encourage you to give Gracie Jujitsu College Park Orlando a try!

Do not do business with this location. We froze our account at the beginning of the summer and no…read moreone instructed us that the freeze automatically opens back up after three months. I've been billed for three months again before I noticed I was being charged again. I called in And was told by the manager that the only way to cancel is to drive 45 minutes to their location to tell them in person that I want to cancel. I thought we had moved beyond this type of Jim behavior. This ridiculous way of handling things. Told me that I had to come in so they could document the cancellation properly. I told them I would get a notarized letter sent to them or send it by email or text it and they said the only way they would do this is if I came in And told me good luck with your collection account buddy just scummy

Our son has been a student of this club for three years after his previous school closed. It has…read morebeen a great fit. The coach is committed to teaching the students proper technique and not a watered-down version of martial arts. Discipline is at the forefront of teaching at Cooperative Spirit. If you're looking for a "coach" for your child to learn, this is a great spot for them to learn. Coach Corr and his staff demonstrate daily how much they care for their students. Coach Corr personally sees the potential in his students and drives them to reach their potential. Should your child cross a well-defined boundary, then he will quickly correct the behavior. He will not coddle your child, but he will challenge them to be their best. This is one of the premier after-school programs servicing Apopka. Sign your child up and they'll learn discipline, self-confidence, and self-defense.

I had the chance to drop in at Alliance BJJ in Orlando while visiting the area, and I can't say…read moreenough good things about the experience. From the moment I walked in, everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful, which meant a lot to me as a fairly new BJJ practitioner. The class focused on spider/lasso guard, and the instruction was top-notch. Carlos, the instructor, brought an enthusiastic and patient energy to the mat, making sure everyone understood the details and felt comfortable with the techniques. His ability to break things down for different levels was excellent. The team culture here is positive, encouraging, and professional. You can tell they value both the art and the students who come through the door. If you're lucky enough to live in the Orlando area--or even just passing through--I would highly recommend Alliance BJJ. Great instruction, great people, and a fantastic environment to train in!

BEST KEPT SECRET?? Not really. (A reference to my 2023 posting)…read more After almost 3 years of my high school age son taking lessons here he was suddenly and unexpectedly placed into a class of about 18 children about 6-7 years old. When I spoke with the owner about it that same day, and again with my wife and I the next morning (today) we asked that our 15-year old son be moved back into a class that was age appropriate. Our son is 6 feet tall and 190 lb by the way. When the facility owner continued to try to justify the new program that resulted in this and repeatedly REFFUSED to place him back into his old age appropriate class (that was also training that same day) we told the owner we would have pull him from the class if he could not train and attend his normal practices WITH HIS OWN AGE GROUP, The owner responded by saying, "Then pull him from the program". So we in fact did that just moments ago. I have more I could, say but will reserve those negative concerns as I don't want to pile on, but clearly have an overall different opinion of this venue now that I have been able to see things over a longer course of time. Not to mention the other parental stories I have heard. Thus, I felt the need to clarify my first posting, which has obviously changed. The positive....., the facility is nice!

My daughter is still enjoying her classes as a blue belt and just moved up to the Elite Leadership program where there is a formal plan in place for her to earn her junior black belt (if she sticks with the program) by the time she is 12-in about 3 more years. For comparison's sake, you need to be a minimum of about 16 y/o with maximum proficiency (on demand) in a documented list of about 150 skills, forms and techniques to earn an adult black belt in Kenpo Karate in this program. I have seen other programs advertised locally where you receive a black belt in 3 years. I have a hard time believing that any child would have the life-skills to achieve such a lofty goal especially after seeing the work that everyone puts in here. The students work hard because things aren't dumbed down for them and they like the challenge, the instructors push in a healthy way while holding everyone accountable for strong, technically proficient techniques while at the same time making things fun.
