From the reviews
Coach Carlos is truly exceptional. My daughters are 4, 7, and 9, and each of them has a completely different personality and learning style—but he meets each of them exactly where they are. What stands out most is how intentional and compassionate he is. He doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Cleber Jiu Jitsu has always been a gym known for its knowledgeable coaches and welcoming environment. Master Cleber creates a sense of belonging from day one, making every student feel like a valued member of the team.

Great place. Awesome coaches! Great place to learn the fundamentals, and prepare for competition. Extremely welcoming community, and helpful practitioners!
Your first BJJ class at Cleber 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.
