From our students
In their words
Jucao has been my professor for three years this past September. If you’re looking to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from one of the best, he gets my recommendation. He turns people who are serious about learning the system into machines. Strength is important, but useless without technique. This guy knows technique. Learn from him.
Joel Holland This is elite level jiu jitsu. Jucao is a legend who’s been on the cutting edge for years. He’s trained up some of the best athletes still active today. This is hands down some of the best training I’ve ever had and that you can ever get in this area.
Samer Sabbagh Jucao BJJ is top of the line Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training for kids/teens/adults but more importantly is the martial arts culture. Coach Roan 'Jucao' Carneiro is world renown for his skills and accomplishments but also who he is as a man, a martial artist and the example he sets. The vibe here is family friendly, community, lifting each other up and becoming better people. 5 stars all the way.
