“Our family has been training with Professor Joao for five years now, and each of us couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Professor Joao is nothing short of an encyclopedia of jiu jitsu knowledge—his depth of expertise is remarkable as is his ability to translate his knowledge to impactfully teach at every level.

He has an incredible way of breaking down complex techniques so that even the youngest students can grasp and apply them.

Our three children (currently ages 7, 8, and 9) have not only developed a strong foundation for technique, but they have also – and perhaps of equal importance- grown in confidence, discipline, and character under his guidance. At the beginning of each class, Professor Joao welcomes each student and parent with a polite greeting and accompanying eye contact and sets the tone for a warm and education-filled session. He is kind, thoughtful, and endlessly motivating, making each class both challenging and inspiring.

For adults, his classes are equally engaging and educational. No matter your experience level, his students learn, grow, and are motivated. We highly recommend training under Professor Joao for anyone looking for jiu jitsu instruction in a welcoming and supportive environment.”
