START Jiu Jitsu Academy

I have been a student at START for over 2 years. When looking for a new place to train I was looking for good instruction, effective techniques, and a clean, safe environment to train in. I got that and much more when I walked through the doors. Not only is there world class instruction, but the friendly cohesive atmosphere promotes learning and creates enthusiasm. Classes are punctual, well organized, planned far in advance, and offer everyone a chance to improve their skills. I've witnessed the progress of the Academy and have seen it grow to include a large number of female students as well. This too I found important as I have a young daughter and she gets to train and "roll" with other girls as opposed to having to partner with guys as i have seen at other academies. Glad I found START, 5-Stars all the way around!

The core success of this academy is primarily due to it's staff. The vast and unique experience of each instructor. The instructors as well as students impart a family atmosphere, for learning as well as having fun. I highly recommend this academy for all ages! Just get ready to adopt a larger family.

Truly a family atmosphere. Instructors do monitor all the students to make sure they learn the proper technique. Stripes are awarded and they do help motivate the students. They also focus on anti bullying and good nutrition. I have seen noticeable improvement in as little as 1-1/2 months. Good ratio of instructors to students.

I've been a student at this academy for just over two years. Everyone treats you like family, the facilities are cleaned regularly, and the professors are not only interested in your ability to learn a martial art but there is a real sincere care for the students in life beyond the walls of the academy. It is easily one of the best places in south Florida to learn self defense, learn bjj, and learn about yourself.

This a fine school and a fine group of people. Whatever your goals in jujitsu, whatever your age, you can find a home here. The instructors are first rate and the students are like family. I will never forget my time here and will always compare anyplace I train to this school. If you aren't sure about training, give this school a chance. You will be hooked on the art of Jujitsu and make lifelong friends.

Amazing school. I have been to many schools, and so far this school has been fantastic. The vibe the teachers, all make you feel like you're a part of the family. They care about making sure we all achieve a goal, and learn to the best of our ability. The teachers are amazing, and care about every student equally. I would recommend this school to new and or experienced student.

Start Jiu Jitsu truly feels like a family. Everyone is super helpful and willing to take the time to show you exactly how to do things. I had no training at all in any martial arts, and whenever I get on the mats, I don't feel shy or uncomfortable because I know everyone is out there to get better. The coaches also pay personal attention to everyone throughout the class so you never feel lost. Would highly recommend.

With no doubts Start Jiu Jitsu Academy is your best option for a true Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training center in the area. The friendly atmosphere is unbeatable, the professionalism of the staff is beyond expectations and every student received a special treatment since their main goal is to create a family oriented place were everybody belongs to our START FAMILY! Not to mention the super clean and well kept facilities. Once you join you and your family will never want to leave this place...

I'm nearly fifty years old, and, trust me, I never planned on becoming a Jiu Jitsu student! I just went along to watch my son a couple of times, but as I watched the interaction between the instructors and the students, and the friendliness that pervades the entire studio, not to mention how much my son was thoroughly enjoying himself, well, I went and signed up. One of THE BEST decisions I've ever made! I'm absolutely hooked on this place! It's no exaggeration to say START has given me a new lease on life, and some mornings on my way to work all I can think about is getting to class that night! The professors could not be any more patient, nor could the students be any more friendly and supportive. It really is like gaining a new extended family overnight! Astonishingly wonderful experience that I unreservedly recommend to anyone in the Broward area!

I've trained in different martial arts and many Jiu Jitsu schools for a couple of years now. Hands down, Start Jiu Jitsu is one of the best Jiu Jitsu schools for adults and children. The academy is clean and the environment is very positive. What makes this such a great school is the instructors. It's not every day that you learn from the very best.
