From the reviews
This is it. You can stop looking. This is the gym you are trying to find. You can't beat the schedule. They have morning, afternoon, and evening classes. Every. Single. Day. They are basically ALWAYS open. Which is unique for a Jiu Jitsu gym and incredibly important to me.
What a gem! Ricardo opened the gym less than 2 months ago. If you are interested in getting top level BJJ training, get into this place. I have had a chance to practice BJJ in gyms all over the world for the last 20 years. Estavel reminds me of old school, fundamental, progressive BJJ.
Professor Ricardo Rocha “Pingo” is a very good professor and coach , he’s very good with he’s tournaments career he’s all life !!

New to BJJ? Start at Estavel Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy
Estavel Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Estavel 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.
