From the reviews
Versus Jiu Jitsu Academy is the best academy out there. Professor Rodrigo is a very good professor and teaches you all sorts of techniques and strategies. He is very close with every single one of his students and helps every single individual.
Enrolling our toddler in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been amazing! The instructor, Rodrigo, is patient, engaging, and great with kids, making each class fun while teaching discipline, confidence, and coordination. The supportive environment keeps our child excited to learn and grow.
After trying three different academies, we chose Versus BJJ Academy and couldn't be happier. Our daughter was drawn to wrestling and grappling, and from the very first visit, the environment here felt different — genuinely welcoming and family-friendly.
My 8‑year‑old son has been training here and the experience has been phenomenal. The kids’ program is truly exceptional — structured, fun, and incredibly effective. The coach is extremely experienced and has a rare ability to pay attention to every single child in the room.
Your first BJJ class at Versus 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.
