The best Jiu-Jitsu school in the world! 🥋 We trained there for a year and had to take a break only because of my busy schedule. The coaches are truly amazing — not only teaching technique, but also building character and spirit in the kids. Forever grateful! 💙

I’ve been training here for over a year now and I love it. Everyone who trains here is incredibly nice and Professor Enzo is a phenomenal teacher, who is great at gauging your skill level and curating your training to your skill level. And even with my schedule where I need to be out 2-3 weeks at a time, I can always drop back in, and pick back up right where I left off. This is great for others with busy schedules who still want to learn jiu jitsu. I highly recommend training here!

We’ve been coming to Cobrinha Jiu-Jitsu for over a year, and it’s been such a positive experience. It’s a great place for kids to burn off energy in a safe and structured way. Professor Enzo and the coaches are wonderful with the children; patient, encouraging, and firm when needed. I really appreciate how they emphasize respect: the kids shake hands before sparring and again at the end of class. There’s also an area for parents to watch, which can get crowded at times, so limiting it to one parent per child helps. The atmosphere is welcoming; staff and families, are kind and supportive. We’re so glad that a friend told us about this place.

My daughter has been training at this academy with Professor Enzo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Enzo is an incredible instructor — patient, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to his students’ growth. He creates a safe and positive environment where kids feel encouraged, motivated, and respected. Since starting, my daughter has gained not only physical skills but also confidence, discipline, and focus. Professor Enzo balances structure with fun, making every class something she looks forward to. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students, both on and off the mat. I highly recommend this academy to any parent looking for a place where their child can learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a supportive and inspiring environment. Thank you, Professor Enzo, for the impact you’ve already made in my daughter’s life!

Professor Enzo is fantastic and the talent at Cobrinha is at the next level. If you want to excel in the sport of Jiu Jitsu and be the best that you can be I highly recommend that you train here. Extremely professional, always prompt, and the kids get exceptional training.
