Cassio Werneck BJJ has been my home since 2008. Cassio and his students welcomed me with genuine warmth from the moment I walked through the doors. The students are humble, helpful, and passionate. Cassio and his black belt instructors are exceptional in transferring their world-class knowledge. Every class is balanced between technique, drilling, and live rolling designed to keep your progress in mind. Whether you're looking to compete, get in shape, or just challenge yourself, this school will elevate you on and off the mats.

This gym is where I started Jiu jitsu back in 2018. Since then I have trained at many gyms across the country, and world, and Cassio's is the best. If you're looking for world champion level training, or just a welcoming community to try something new, this is the place for you. The best coaching and the best people!
