From the reviews

Nova Geracao is a phenomenal place to come and learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! Master Toco is a 5th degree black belt under Master Carlson Gracie Senior himself! You could not ask for a better teacher. He embodies the spirit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and humbly passes on his knowledge to his students.

★★★★★ — Jeremy, Feb 2018

Great environment and facilities. I took my son to other places, but the warm welcome, dedication and professionalism showed by Master Toco is no match. He is definitely great with children and has years of martial arts training - my son really enjoys coming every week and he is learning about discipline.

★★★★★ — Octavio, Feb 2018

I have been training here since February 2019. Since that time, I've lost 50 pounds, lowered my cholesterol/BP, placed at IBJJF competition, and best of all joined a wonderful family of jiu jitsu practitioners who I am pleased to call my friends.

★★★★★ — Aaron, Nov 2019

The best place to learn jiu jitsu in the area. Master Toco is direct lineage from Carlson Gracie. You can't get closer to training with a historical figure in South Florida. Love his great energy and positivity. Brazilian jiujitsu is for everyone, no matter your age and fitness level.

New to BJJ? Start at Nova Geração Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Nova Geração Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Nova Geração Brazilian 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
