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.

How do you even put an experience like this into words?…read more For anyone looking for a place to train, The Dojo is an exceptional choice--but it is so much more than that. It truly becomes a way of life. The skills you learn here aren't just physical; they are mental, emotional, and deeply personal. It isn't about earning a rank or checking a box. It's about becoming the best version of yourself, regardless of who you are or where you come from. What makes The Dojo so special is the instructors' ability to recognize that every student is different and needs something different. They take the time to understand you, meet you where you are, and tailor their instruction to help you grow--not just as a martial artist, but as a person. Their goal is to help you become stronger, more confident, and a person of character who can positively impact the lives of those around you. Sensei Norcross and the other instructors are everything you could hope for in teachers. They are incredibly knowledgeable, both in traditional techniques and original Kata as well as their modern-day application. At the same time, they never stop learning and are always open to exploring new ways of applying and teaching a technique. Most importantly, they genuinely care. That combination is rare. Having instructors who are perceptive enough to recognize what you need when you need it, and who care enough to help you get there, is something truly special. They invest in their students--not just in their training inside The Dojo, but in their goals, passions, personal growth, and lives outside of it. Anyone who has trained here will understand exactly what I mean: you won't find many instructors who care more deeply about their students and their development than the people at The Dojo. It's not just a place to train, it's a way of life.

He has repeatedly told me that he loves the Dojo and will be going to there for as often and long as he is able.
