From the reviews
An amazing place to train. Coach Pereira has a perfect mix of discipline and motivation style of coaching that motivates to push beyond your limits. Your fellow fighters in the gym are very helpful and motivating too. This is a great place to train and form a masculine brotherhood.
Great team and family atmosphere. Been taking my son for roughly a month and he loves it. The professors are intensely knowledgeable and very passionate about their craft. Large facility, best pricing, and off street parking.
I signed my then-11-year-old, who is now 12 years old. The bullying that my son faced at school and his lack of confidence were tough times. It is the first time that my son has participated in any sport.
I join the MMA Academy for about 2 weeks. I have to say, I love it because it does not only provide you with a workout also with a challenge to become better. All the that said it's also very fun, addictive and I'm always looking forward for the next class.
Your first BJJ class at MMA Academy - Pereira BJJ Reading. Team Jucao
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.
