Jacare Martial Arts | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

just want to share how incredibly happy I am with Jacaré Martial Arts. From the very first tryout day, I asked Larissa, the owner, if I could have about three days to see if the gym was a good fit for my son. Well, halfway through that very first training session, I knew we didn’t need any more time to decide. I signed him up right then and there because the atmosphere, the quality of the instruction, and the warmth of everyone made it clear this was the perfect place. I truly couldn’t be happier with how much my son has improved in his jiu-jitsu. It’s a very family-friendly environment, and the care from Professor Jacaré, Professor João, and Professor André is just exceptional. They really look after the kids and create such a welcoming, supportive space. I’m so grateful we found this gym and I definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐊

This is Home. Jacare Martial Arts is my home. In nov 2023 I decided to bring my son back to jiujitsu and at first subscribed him to the classes, but seeing the environment of the school, decided to subscribe too. After couple months of training, got back to compete, won all the major competitions in 2024, became world champion and got my black belt from the hands of the legend Ronaldo Jacaré. Family environment, perfect for kids and for who likes to compete like me. I am thankful for being part of this family Jacare Martial Arts

We are incredibly grateful for Jacare Martial Arts. My son is on the autism spectrum and the Super Powers class has been such a blessing for him and for our family. From the very first day, the team welcomed him with patience, respect, and genuine care. They understand that every child learns differently and they create an environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and capable. A special thank you to Larissa, Jacare, and Coach Joa. The way they lead with kindness, structure, and encouragement truly makes a difference. They see the potential in every child and help them grow not only in jiu-jitsu, but in confidence, discipline, and resilience. Watching my son feel proud of himself, stay engaged, and enjoy being part of a team has meant more to us than words can describe. This place is more than a martial arts academy it’s a community that truly cares about kids and their development. We are so thankful to be part of it.

His dedication to teaching and to the well-being of his students is truly admirable. He treated our son with remarkable care and respect, something we will always carry with us.
