Old & fat and desperate to find anything to nudge me out of stress eating ice cream & push me into a healthier lifestyle, I decided to try the free class that Brazilian Top Team offers. Today I completed, or managed to survive, my 5th class! It has been challenging, but the atmosphere I have been a part of there, makes it just a tiny bit more fun than tough! I had emotional needs that were not being met & it was preventing me from taking steps to loose weight, but the acceptance & encouragement that I have experienced there has put me on track where I needed & wanted to be. From day 1, I have felt included in a very family friendly environment. One of the most surprising & inspiring things about the class is how everyone is a teacher, & everyone is a student, no matter what level or age you are. I have not seen anything quite like it in other sports, & it is so incredibly beneficial for growth on so many different levels. I learn just as much from the kids as I do the seasoned adults! I’ve barely dipped a toe in the Jiu-Jitsu ocean, but this class & all the great people there, has turned out to be the motivation that I needed to work towards goals! Edgard, the head coach, has been so compassionate & eases the anxiety of being the new person with one on one instructions & attention, so you don’t feel lost or overwhelmed. The equation of strength, endurance, agility, strategy, technique, and creativity is fascinating & captures your attention in a way that makes you want to learn more. Jiu-Jitsu may not be for everyone, but I firmly believe everyone should try it! It just might be what is missing in your life.

I’m older now my life has afforded me many opportunities. One of them has been to train with different teams and a different academies all throughout the Southeast. If I could only pick one place to train for the rest of my life it would be with Brazilian top team Florida and with Professor Edgard Dutras. If you’re looking for a good place to train, with quality instruction and good people? If you were looking for a safe place to train with your kids in a safe family friendly environment? This is hands-down the spot to do it. Anytime I’m in Brevard County I’ll make sure I stop Pay my respects and train. Cannot say enough good things about the many happy years I spent training there. The old adage of “if you’re going to buy ketchup? By Heinz 57! “Worth every penny to be a member or guest there

I have learned so much training at Brazilian Top Team Florida. The flexibility in the class schedule has been incredibly helpful, and the environment feels like a true family. Everyone here is supportive, and the coaches have been amazing, especially when they guided me through my first competition, where I placed 2nd. It’s also a fantastic place for kids to learn discipline and self-defense in a positive atmosphere. Highly recommend!
