My 4.5 year old son recently started the Jr Class twice weekly. I am so impressed with Playground Jiu Jitsu. The atmosphere and staff are wonderful. My son loves when he has class and asks daily when he can return. Vin does an amazing job at keeping my highly energetic 4.5 year old engaged and focused. I highly recommend bringing your child to a class to see for yourself!

Unfortunately, I don’t train here anymore because I had to relocate to another state but I’ve known Paulo and Vinny for many years and they are the best coaches Ive ever met. I trained at many different schools prior. This is the best school you will find in the area. Hugely underrated because they put in so much consistent effort to make you as good as you can be. Hobbyist, competitor, or beginner, you will find yourself in a down to earth environment where you will find success and talented training partners. Search deep inside your soul and commit to their program. I got more out from it than I ever put in.

Playground Jiu Jitsu is hands down one of the best gyms I've ever trained at! From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt right at home. Paulo and Vinicius—two incredibly skilled and passionate brothers—have created something truly special here. Their coaching is top-tier: technical, clear, and always delivered with patience and positivity. The vibe at Playground is exactly what you’d hope for—welcoming, respectful, and filled with people who are genuinely there to learn and grow. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your game, this is the place to do it. The facility is clean, the classes are well-run, and the community is strong. Huge respect to Paulo and Vinicius for building such an awesome space. I can’t recommend Playground Jiu Jitsu enough!
