I've been training here on and off for around 2+ years. It's hard to find a martial arts gym with such great people and good vibes. Professor Chad and Richard are amazing instructors. Thursdays Professor Richard (also a black belt in Judo) teaches standup. Everyone here is really nice and promotes good gym culture :)

I started my jiu jitsu journey eight years ago with Professor Chad and team Jucão and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve had my fair share experiences with other martial art disciplines and none were like the experience I had with this team. Professor Chad took his time, was patient and kind through and through. If it weren’t for him, I don’t think I’d be training until today! Highly recommend

Low key gym and excellent instruction. Professor Chad makes sure to remember your name and the staff and members alike are very welcoming. It feels like a community, and the instructors make sure you understand the fundamentals of the technique and learn to apply it correctly.

Team Jucao has been a great place to learn and to be part of a greater community. Professor Chad and Professor Richard not only balance teaching fundamentals with new techniques but are also very attentive in teaching you how to safely maneuver them, which I really appreciate. They also expose you to guest teachers and it makes for a very comprehensive experience. I learn a lot from other people in the class and everyone is always willing to help you improve your game. The gym also has many off-day sessions but haven’t been yet myself

If you ever want to try a free trial class and see how it goes here please don’t, or make sure if Chad will be in the class for your free trial first. If you really make your mind on trying a free trial class here, make sure to watch some video about how to throw people on the ground first otherwise if you can’t get it for 2-3 times demonstration, you gonna be the guy being slam on the ground in your 1.5hr free trial. My review is base on when Chad is not in the class instead other instructor and an assistant instructor was in my free trial. Absolutely my worst experience in journey of martial art, and I did spoke with Chad about it, just hope no one will ever have the same experience as me do.
