What People Are Saying About AOJ Academy

★★★★★

"I enrolled myself and my son a few weeks ago. We both have zero experience with BJJ. From the very beginning everyone there has been extremely friendly, helpful, informative, and respectful to us. It feels like a big family that I feel very welcome to be a part of. The professors have so much to offer in BJJ and life in general! I believe the vibe and atmosphere comes from the Mendes Brothers who are there daily! I can't say more positive things that AOJ deserves. I wish I started this journey when I was a child. The facility is extremely clean and modern. AOJ has one of if not the most prestigious reputation in the BJJ world. There are many different reasons people try BJJ and AOJ facilitates all of those goals, from healthy exercise to the competitive level. They welcome it all! I look forward to the AOJ journey for years to come."
