I was really bummed that I didn't get to meet Mr. Miyagi before he passed, but not anymore because I have the privilege of being trained by the Brazilian jujitsu equivalent, Vanderson Gomez.Great Professors, great group of hungry motivated guys, and always an awsome vibe. Feels like a family and I'm very thankful to be a part of it.

My 3 boys and myself train here, the boys enjoy class and professor is very patient when dealing with children. For the adult classes he takes all questions and breaks techniques down in small steps explaining each detail so that you have understanding. He motivates us to be a better version of ourself and for our families. Other students are welcoming and friendly like you were training there for a long time.

As a parent, I am absolutely thrilled with the experience my kids have had at Vanderson Gomes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the exceptional mentorship of Professor Vanderson Gomes. His passion for teaching and his warm-hearted nature have made a lasting impression on my children, and I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact he has had on their lives.Professor Vanderson's expertise in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is evident in every class he teaches. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a 4th degree Black belt, and he knows how to effectively communicate and break down complex techniques into understandable concepts for kids. His patience and attentiveness to each child's progress are remarkable, and he creates a safe and encouraging environment where they can learn and thrive.What sets Professor Vanderson apart is his genuine care for his students' well-being beyond just their martial arts skills. He is a true role model who embodies the values of respect, discipline, and perseverance, and he instills these qualities in his students. His quote, "it's better to be a LION for a day then a sheep all of your life," resonates with my kids and motivates them to be courageous, confident, and resilient in facing challenges on and off the mat.Furthermore, Professor Vanderson's positive influence goes beyond martial arts. He emphasizes the importance of character development, good sportsmanship, and teamwork, which have had a positive impact on my kids' behavior and attitudes in other areas of their lives as well. They have gained valuable life skills that will benefit them for years to come.Additionally, the camaraderie and sense of community fostered by Professor Vanderson at his academy are truly exceptional. My kids have made new friends, developed strong bonds with their fellow teammates, and have become part of a supportive and inclusive martial arts family. The academy is well-maintained, and the classes are well-structured and engaging, keeping my kids motivated and excited to come to class every time.In conclusion, I cannot speak highly enough of Professor Vanderson Gomes and Vanderson Gomes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His outstanding mentorship has had a profound impact on my kids, and I am grateful for the positive values, skills, and friendships they have gained through his teachings. I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Vanderson to any parent looking for a top-notch martial arts instructor who genuinely cares about the well-being and development of their children. Five stars without a doubt!

When they were making martial arts instructors, they broke the mold after making Professor Van. My kids (all 4 of them!) typically do not take to new people very quickly, but by the second lesson they were hugging the Professor and treating him like family. He takes the time to give each student individual attention, cares about their safety, and ensures he meets them in their comfort zone. One of my daughters is less physically adept than the other kids but Prof also makes sure she feels special, strong, and successful. She walks away from BJJ lessons feeling like a million bucks. This man was born to teach and the world is a better place for having him in it. Highly recommend!

We had our other son several year ago at another jiu jitsu place. He decided it wasn’t for him. So when our youngest wanted to get into this we decided to find another place for several reasons. We could not be more thrilled with choosing Vanderson Gomes. What really stuck out is he let our son use the old GI from another place. If I would asked anywhere else they would have said no you have to buy our name and brand. So this alone speaks highly of someone as a individual. Both Vanderson and Clark are amazing with the kids and it shows. They have fun and I can tell a Huge difference being here than from one that is highly commercialized. I would not second guess coming here. I know my child is cared and loved for.
