Awesome spot to train at. Everyone’s welcoming and the coaches are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
GJJ is a really fantastic academy. I’m a brown belt and I’m also a children’s coach in my own academy. I dropped in to this academy and was impressed by the clean facilities and the warm environment. I caught the end of their kids class and they run a very safe and supportive class. The adults class was also a great pace which satisfied a range of levels on the mats. The head professor is very mindful of his students and careful with who he pairs up for sparring. Highly recommend this academy 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Whether you’re visiting, or live here, this gym is a must. Great community, clean facility, and the instruction is top notch. The very first day I walked in, I was greeted, and treated like I’d been a member from the start.
GJJ SAV has been nothing short of amazing. At a time when I was struggling mentally and looking for an outlet, this community and Professor James welcomed me with open arms. The environment/community is super supportive, motivating, and caring. There’s also a true respect for the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The gym has a great mix of beginners, hobbyists and competitors. It’s world-class instruction from James (I mean Pedro Sauer doesn’t just have anyone travel with him and be his uke).. Also there’s a wide range of experience levels from white belts to multiple black belts! It’s incredibly beginner-friendly and the community + James will take care of you.
