My daughters (age 5 and 8) and I have been training here for about 8 months now, and we have all been loving the experience and community. I have trained other martial arts in many schools throughout my life, and immediately upon walking into Cassio Werneck, felt that this was a great place for us to start training bjj. A high level of respect and care for one another is apparent the second you step into the door, then once you're on the mats, the training is excellent. As a white belt, I feel fortunate to get great teaching from the professors, and also from all the other students who share their knowledge. The kids program is excellent as well. My daughters have fun and have become visibly more confident in their abilities on and off the mat.

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!
