Vladimir Kojic
It's been 6 months now when our 7year old son started and he love it and so do we. People here are very friendly and the trainers are really good. Definitely recommending!
Jeremy Greenfield
I travel for work and drop in to bjj classes all over the US. This academy was one of the nicest facilities I've been to and Gustavo was super-nice and welcoming. Charissa helped me sign a waiver and answered questions before coming in to an advanced class. The class was great, it focused on a certain system versus a specific move. At the end we did 5 minute rolls that went on past the hour class if you wanted to. Gustavo invited me to a roll along with another black belt too. Everyone was very friendly and professional during the rolls. I will definitely be coming back next time I am in the area.
Sabrina Hernandez
Both my sister and I train here. I switched from a different jiu jitsu academy to GD last year in May and have not regretted my decision since. There are many classes provided for all skill levels and age groups. Not only does GD supply an amazing curriculum for its students but also a natural formation of a family. Mental health is a huge topic of discussion as it can coincide with practicing jiu jitsu. Gustavo has many quotes on the walls to help encourage his students on and off the mats. Whether you’re looking to do this for fun or test your skills in competition, GD is the perfect place to learn from. Best coaches and teammates by far! Thank you for being so good to my sister and I.
