I was in town on a Friday so dropped in for the 9:30am open mat. Professor Rodriguez and everyone there were very welcoming and great to train with. I travel all over and drop in to lots of places and I look forward to coming back here again.

I love my Renzo Gracie Fam!!! I started Jiu Jitsu over 2 years ago, never having done any kind of martial art in my life, and was immediately made to feel safe and supported. Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and patient. Especially as a woman in a primarily male sport I was nervous to start, but Renzo Gracie FTL has the absolute best people and I have learned SO much. I have absolutely had the most amazing experience here. 10/10!!!

Can’t say enough good things about this team. Professor Juan and everyone at Renzo’s FTL are like family. Having this support network of people and facility to train at has gotten me through one of the toughest periods in my life. I’m addicted to the sport now. If you’re looking for a great atmosphere and even better people, look no further.

I was in town for a conference for a couple of days and some colleagues and I asked if we could drop in for a class. So happy we did. Professor Juan was excellent. His instruction was very clear and helpful. The rest of the folks were welcoming and very helpful as well. Great community and culture — everyone looking to be better and make others better. Can’t wait for next year’s conference in Ft. Lauderdale to head back.

Amazing gym to train at!!! Visited in early December last year and Juan is a really welcoming, professional, fun and intelligent Professor. All the students were pretty much the same. Overall a great bunch of people to roll with and learn from : ) The last night I was there before heading home to Canada I was told that this is my home and I'm family now. Perfect example of how jiu jitsu builds community and how an academy set up on the right principles can really thrive. The facility is clean and well set up. I will definitely come back some day and would highly recommend you visit or train here full-time : ) Big thanks to the crew for an amazing vacation training experience!!!
