Before coming here, I had never trained jiu jitsu a day in my life—and this is the only BJJ gym I’ve ever been to. From my very first classes, I completely fell in love with the sport, and it’s honestly become a huge part of my life. I train here every single day, twice a day, and I look forward to every session. Rodrigo is an incredible coach. His teaching is clear, detailed, and truly world-class. The amount I’ve improved in such a short time is crazy, and I know it’s because of the level of technique and attention he brings to every class. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, you’re learning high-level jiu jitsu here. I’m really grateful to be part of this team and couldn’t recommend this gym enough.

I’ve been training at Brave BJJ under Professor Rodrigo and honestly it’s been an amazing experience. The level of coaching is top tier — he breaks things down in a way that actually makes sense, no matter your skill level. You can tell he really cares about his students improving, not just showing techniques. The environment at Brave is super welcoming and respectful. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, everyone pushes each other to get better without any ego. The team culture is strong and it makes you want to keep coming back. If you’re thinking about starting BJJ or looking for a serious place to train, I highly recommend Brave and Professor Rodrigo.
