10 Stars if I could!! Very Clean! I just can’t say enough about this business. It all starts with the owner Professor Kaliffa Oliveria. He treats every student and customer with respect, understanding, patience and kindness. The Instructors and Professors are Amazing! Starting with Instructor John in GB1. He is very patient, teaches in a step by step approach which is very helpful and is just a friendly guy! Professor Leo teaches the kids and also some GB1 classes. He always has a positive attitude, always has a smile on his face and you can tell has a genuine love for teaching kids! Professor Pedro teaches mostly the GB2 classes. He also always has a positive attitude, a deep understanding of BJJ and is overall just a great guy! Saying all that I do understand that Professor Leo and Pedro are from Brazil and english is not there first language so now and then a word may get lost in translation. If that bothers you I would suggest exercising some humility and meet them halfway in learning some Portuguese seeing that it is the native language of BJJ and can only help. Your not going to find a perfect instructor or teacher but there pretty close! The people at the front desk which for most part is Mrs Lindsey is very hardworking, will help you with whatever you may need and is very prompt in responding to any questions you may have. Also inside the facility there is a gym that is ran by Mr. Greg and is a Great place to workout! Just a AWESOME place!!!
