From the reviews
If you're looking for an amazing place to train Jiu-Jitsu in Clermont, look no further than The Hugo Leite BJJ! This academy has everything you could ask for—a fantastic sensei, a welcoming family environment, and top-tier instruction that helps you develop real skills on the mat.
Returning to Jiu-Jitsu training was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The gentle art has this unique ability to bring people together, to include, and to show that regardless of physical limitations or experience level, everyone can improve day by day.
Professor Hugo, a black belt in jiu-jitsu, is much more than a master on the mat — he is a true example of discipline, humility, and leadership. With extensive experience and deep knowledge of the gentle art, he teaches techniques with clarity, patience, and passion.
Our son has been training with Coach Hugo for about two and half months now, and we’ve already seen amazing progress. His overall fitness and endurance have improved, even started to notice how is getting leaner as he is building muscles, in addition to a big confidence boost for him!
New to BJJ? Start at Hugo Leite BJJ
Hugo Leite BJJ 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 Hugo Leite BJJ
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.
