Testimonial

Paulo Guillobel is not only a world jiu-jitsu champion, but more importantly a uniquely gifted teacher of his art. Sensei Paulo brings about positive change in students perhaps faster than anyone I’ve seen.

With short term contracts, several classes and times to choose from and convenient payment arrangements I knew we had a winner! My son has trained with not one, or two but 3 distinguished Black belt instructors. Under the direct guidance and coaching of Sensei Paulo I’ve seen the improvement and confidence in my son who not only considers himself a student but part of their family. Really happy our decision not to settle elsewhere paid off and exceeded our expectations!

I went to see one of their classes today and they treated me pretty nice. The second instructor seemed pretty good and taught the class well
