The classes they run
“I had a good feeling about Cascao, I mean, whats better than a nickname based on an old kids tv show?”
“Unbeknownst to us, the normally scheduled class (a no gi class) was adjusted to a big annual GI-centric open mat, belt ceremony and potluck.”

“Walter is an amazing person and an amazing instructor.”
“But despite not having gi, they welcomed us in just the same and made us feel part of the family, welcoming us to rolls and lots of food after!”

From the reviews
Walter Fontes Vital Jr is a stud! Walter teaches more than just Jui Jitsu. Go to his class and you’ll see what I mean. Osss!
What is your definition of Jiu Jitsu family? Mine is being able to make one phone call to a stranger and be welcomed with open arms. My professor offered three places to train while my team and I were in Vegas for Master Worlds.
This is to the comment about slamming people is not a discipline or whatever what was said. Dude!!! Its grappling not checkers. Mr. Cascao is a good teacher. I took a free class and loved it. I plan on actually signing up. I will say this dude. Maybe you shouldn't grapple if you're complaining about getting slammed.
Not only is the training top not but the quality of people here under the Cascao lineage is top notch. I straight up did not enjoy jiu jitsu as much as I do until I joined this gym. It’s an honor to train under a Cascao black belt Chris and Mylene Engle!
Your first BJJ class at Cascão Jiu Jitsu
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.
