From the reviews

I can’t say enough good things about Sensei Andrezza and Coach Edgar and their new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym. My two daughters trained with Sensei Andrezza and her daughter Maria for a couple of years before they moved down to Coral Springs and we’ve seen so much growth in them, both on and off the mat.

★★★★★ — Clyde, Dec 2024

I have known Andrezza both professionally and personally for around 10 years. She truly loves teaching and coaching martial arts. My daughter loves training with her and my son is soon to follow. If you are looking for a family oriented martial arts gym go check them out.

★★★★★ — Priscilla, Nov 2024

I've been training at Andrezza Facanha since they had their soft open and I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made when selecting places to train. The two lead instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about teaching.

★★★★★ — 899, Dec 2024

New to BJJ? Start at Andrezza Façanha Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Andrezza Façanha Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first BJJ class at Andrezza Façanha Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
