MMA Academy, Home Of Team Pereira,Equipe Jucao

I’ve been coming to this gym for about 2 weeks now and it’s the best thing I could’ve ever done ! They’re super clean with the area and diligent with the students! If you guys are looking for a good well taken care of gym you have to come here !

Be cautious about signing up for this gym, yes, it may seem local and convenient but please do your research first. Robeson will use his ‘contract’ as a way to scratch every single dime out of you if you even miss a payment with notice or try to cancel before a 6 month or 12 month term and month-to-month.You’ll get charged regardless. Don’t have enough money in your checking account ? No worries, Robeson’s got you covered, he’ll keep charging you smaller amounts until he can’t no more.Keep in mind the man has a sign posted on his building and doesn’t even know how to spell the word ‘Jui-Jitsu’ correctly. What this man lacks in professionalism he makes up with his greed for money. He takes trips about once a year and yes that even means there’s a possibly of still being charged with a closed gym if no one can run it. He’d watch videos on YouTube for–hours straight before classes would start and demonstrate the same move and forget how to do it properly.Apparently, Periera got his BJJ BB( black belt) from Maurice Sakata of Sao Paulo and that (Rigan and Marcos) recognized his rank and on that recognition promoted him to second degree black belt. Another letter posting followed, this one bearing the signature of Grandmaster Francisco Mansor, also stating that he recognized the rank granted by Sakata and adding that he was "personally familiar" with Sakata and that Sakata had received his BB under Carlson Gracie. What is so interesting here is that there is absolutely no mention of Sakata whatsoever. And it was only recently that he was registered into the IBJJF if I’m not mistaken, who knows anymore...With that being said, do your research before signing up. I’m sure he’s not a bad guy but it’s just a shame when you’re a kid who’s received disgusting text messages from Robeson about missed payments in the past. Being called “dumb” and “stupid” by a grown man is the least professional thing a Black Belt would do if you could ask me.

This business is more of a ploy to milk parents of ambitious fighters, or the fighter themselves, then it is a place to learn how to fight, when you first sign up he tricks you into signing a 12 month contract and giving him all of your personal information so he can ruin your credit as well as overdraft your card 100s of dollars. I was training at this gym for about 2 months, the “black belt” that runs the gym sits on his phone and records the kids while he makes them do simple military drills, when it comes to actual technique he has 0 teaching capabilities which makes me really question his black belt status. The few times he would do a demonstration he would mess up and have to redo it numerous times and then send kids on there own to attempt to do the same thing. I cannot stress it enough this gym is a true con gym, the only positive thing about the gym is the fact there’s other ambitious people there to learn off of and adapt... the professor would be content with a class full of kids who good around all day while he collects that monthly check from parents to fund his greed, he takes trips and send more pictures of him bragging about the money he earned from his students, then actually teaching them anything. True Jiu Jitsu professors would be ashamed at how this man runs his business. side note, the professor pays local guides to give him 5 star reviews and gives them special treatment in the gym, to mask over the true horrors of this gym, he’s charged people 1,200 dollars at one time because of the contract he makes you sign, run the h e double hockey sticks away.

Signed up my 4 year old about a month and a half ago, she loves it. Professor is great with children, always encouraging. Everyone in the team helps out and works together to educate all new comers. It’s an awesome environment.

I have been training BJJ since 2013 took a break for a 3 years for personal reasons but I have trained with multiple people from pro MMA fighters to your average person and I will say this gym is one of the best around especially in Pennsylvania! Professor Robson is very knowledgeable and we have some of the best training partners. My sonalso enjoys training there also!

My Fiance has lost 20 pounds since starting to train here and really enjoys the team. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn BJJ.

Professor Pereira is respectful and hosts a great atmosphere for training and keeping members motivated! Great place to roll.

I just wanted to cancel my account but I was blocked. Didn’t wanna come in cause of everything going on. The owner said he was closed atm so should he even be charging people?? I had a family member get laid off so I’m trying to save money and he wouldn’t even work with me. This gym is all about greed. Smh.

As I have stated before, you cannot beat what goes down in the gym. With quality's as teamwork and motivation and the learning experience of just being there. It’s just a great place to be.

Great MMA gym. Robson is an enthusiastic coach, and the team is a true family. Highly recommend.
