From the reviews
Leandro makes you feel right at home the minute you walk in. He's very friendly, funny, but serious when it comes time to teach. You can't deny the caliber of technique you receive from team Checkmat. He's worked with professional fighters and many champions.
The best Brazilian Jiu jitsu coach in the world!! I you have the chance to train with him you definitely need to do it. The way he tech and break down the technics is just amazing, also he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and he make you feel right at home from the moment you step in to his gym!
Our whole family trains With coach Leandro, he is an amazing instructor. Our girls are 7 and 4 and they look forward to going to his class. Just the other day my daughter said, “I love coach Leandro, he’s so fun and I love Jiu-Jitsu”.
I’ve had the honor of taking a few classes under Coach Leandro this last month and noticed an immediate difference in my game. The instructions and the way he conceptualizes and explains the purpose of each drills really helped me understand the intimidating human chess game that is jiujitsu.
New to BJJ? Start at Prisma Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Leandro Vieira
Prisma Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Leandro Vieira comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Prisma Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Leandro Vieira
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.
