Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Fitness

My wife and I’s journey with the martial art started with Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Fitness. We’ve been practicing for about 2 and a half years; in that time, we’ve become blue belts, competed at least half a dozen times and have secured over 15 medals. This experience is something we share as a couple, and it has strengthened us as individuals.Through this art, people have the opportunity to grow, heal & make friends that become family. It’s a commitment and at times it’s really challenging, but we both can say it’s truly worth it. We recommend Brazilian jiu jitsu to anyone and everyone who’s ready to put their ego to the side & learn their body’s unique capabilities.

I have been training at Uzcategui for over two years, and it has been a transformative experience. The instruction is top-tier, the facility is state-of-the-art, and there is a great community of students that push each other to improve. If you want to get in shape, meet new friends, and learn jiu jitsu at an elite level, then this is the academy for you.

This is easily the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training academy in the Wilmington area. The staff is helpful and very respectable. Also the training area is well maintained and can accommodate your training needs. Come here if you want to be around great, skilled, and respectful individuals.

Uzcategui BJJ is a state of the art facility with high level jiu-jitsu. On top of that, there is a very friendly and caring community in the gym.

I really enjoy training with Professor Johnathan and the training family at Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. If you are looking to better yourself mentally and physically I would highly recommend training at this academy. The Professor will push you to strive and be your best at this martial art as well as being prepared to defend yourself in difficult situations.I started training here at the end of January and to this day have seen a dramatic change in my appearance and my attitude toward different situations. I have lost a total of 36 Lbs. and 6 inches in my waist line. I feel great and have made some new friends along the way.I also have two kids that have started training as well and I can see a vast improvement in their attitudes and commitment to learning bjj. Knowing that one day if they have to use this for defense or to combat a situation is a very gratifying peace of mind to have.So if you are looking to get in shape physically and mentally or just have a backup plan if you get into a shady position, come check out Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I promise you won't regret it.

This gym has been amazing. First off, the facility is exceptional. Super clean and a full on gym with weights and everything. For someone fairly new to BJJ and new to the gym, it's been a great experience. Everyone has gone out of their way to introduce themselves and get to know you more. They've also been super patient with me when it comes to teaching, and that makes a huge difference. You feel like a part of a team from day one. The instructor, Jonathan, is a super cool guy and a great teacher.Whether you're experienced or brand new to BJJ, Uzcategui is a great place to come check out.

My son has been studying Jiu Jitsu for over 6 years and has made the most progress in the past 2 years at Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The large class size allows for a wide variety of training partners improving his ability to confidently face any competitor in competition. The no contract membership is incredibly attractive and provides me with the flexibility we need. For $30 more a month I get to use the inhouse gym and get my sweat on instead of just waiting for his class to be over. I am extremely happy with the success my son has had and the friendships I have gained with other parents.

I spent the last week training with Professor Jonathan Uzcategui and his students, as a guest, and I can’t express enough how welcoming everyone is. I was immediately met with smiles and introductions that would put anyone thinking about starting at ease. Overall positive atmosphere!Now let’s talk about the quality of instruction. After training at Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a week I realized there are different levels and Professor Jonathan and his instructors are amongst the best. Any time I’m in the Wilmington area I know where I’m going to be training!

Alliance BJJ is an outstanding gym. I attended three classes while I was near Wilmington and I can tell you, the instruction was awesome. Jonathan and his team are detailed oriented and have a sound system that they are teaching. Every student in the gym made an effort to shake my hand and welcome me to their mat. A very classy place with great athletes. I will be back to roll with my new friends!!

World class Jiu Jitsu! One of the most welcoming training centers I've ever been to. The head instructor has a passion for teaching Jiu Jitsu with a strong attention to detail. The gym is amazing with everything you could possibility need to train Jiu Jitsu, MMA or just work on your overall fitness. The class I attended had women and kids alike! Skill levels varied from beginner to advance. If you are looking for a great place to get in shape and are tired of the big box gyms, definitely give this place a try. You will quickly realize that this place has great community and is a family environment!
