What families say

“Both of my girls started Jiu Jitsu together three years ago, and they love it! Coach Thiago is caring, kind, and dedicated to the kids. He ensures they are prepared and learn the skills. I have been so impressed and am so happy we go to Praia.” — Nahal K.

“I was very happy with my decision to transfer to Praia. The level of knowledge and teaching skills Coach Thiago and his coaching staff have are amazing. The culture they’ve built and continue to grow is the reason I stay. Thiago is passionate about his program and constantly brings new learning opportunities through seminars with high-level professors.” — Chase Cameron

“Our experience at Praia has been incredible! One month after our daughter started, my husband got into it too. They both love it, and it has brought their relationship closer. My daughter, who was bullied at school, has grown her confidence in so many ways. I’m so glad we picked Praia—it feels like a second family!” — Nicole Fielder
