Rodrigo Resende Academy is not only a club but a second home to those who are striving to be the better versions of themselves. I am a witness to the growth of this gym not only because of its awesome teaching team, superb instructional level and amazing family orient community. I am speaking as a mom who have watched her son grow from a shy boy to a confident martial artist. Vincent has been one of the first student assistants of Sensei Rodrigo. Sensei has seen his potential and has sponsored him to train high level Judo in Bastos, Brazil. Vin had been training since March and today was promoted into his Purple Belt (Blue Belt). Sensei and his team of instructors have provided a great support for the growth of this young man. I am proud of him and I am proud to be a member and student of Rodrigo Resende Academy! Oss!

I had the incredible chance to train there one day (during my vacation) with my brother Martin. This is a world class gym, I would recommend to any one living in the area. Do yourself a favour and learn Jiu Jitsu. To professor Rodrigo Resende thank you for the warm welcome, I wish I could have trained more OSS!!!!

An excellent centre to learn grappling from Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and no gi grappling. Professor Rodrigo Resende holds a 5th degree black belt in BJJ and 6th degree in judo with multiple years of experience in nogi grappling in a state of the art training facility

Very proud to be a part of this club! I have gained so much confidence in my skills in a short amount of time. Rodrigo is a patient and very knowledgeable instructor who cares about his students. The club is clean and organized and everyone takes pride in being a part of this team. The kids classes are very structured and it's awesome to see them excited to be there! I highly recommend women to come try it out. The skills you will learn provide a good base for cardio, self defence, strength and confidence.

This school is exceptionally professional, organized, and clean. The staff is very warming and welcoming to all members. I believe one of the big things that makes Rodrigo's academy stand out to others is that there is a high emphasis on their youth programs and encouraging children to develop their character and discipline skills. For adults, I find that it is great for exercise, self-defense, and friendships. A special thank you to all at the Rodrigo school for improving the community!

Great space and instructors. Class size is perfect and they match the kids up with similar sizes and skills. They breakdown the moves very well and give the kids a good amount of time to practice. The students and instructors are focused and hard working. A great learning environment. We come as visitors and have felt very welcome. Will be back for sure.

My 8 year old started classes here during the summer and loves it! The staff are excellent and the facility has a great family atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to check out jiu jitsu.

I have experienced significant growth in Judo and BJJ under Professor Resende and his instructors. The dojo has great energy, all participants and instructors are very respectful towards each other. I strongly recommend this dojo to even older practitioners, who are looking for a safe and respectful place to train in. All the instructors are very knowledgeable with an incredible way to teach any level or any age group. Thank you Professor.

I was in the area visiting some family this past April, and looked for spots to train. Rodrigo’s spot popped up with great reviews and it completely lived up to its 5 star reputation! Great instructors, students without egos, massive and clean facility, and extremely welcoming. Even got to work with Professor Lucas on some judo movements as well. Trained two different days for 4 sessions and had some great rolls with some of their local killers. Would highly recommend!

I joined this club post-Covid after a long-distance move. It's been great! Professor Rodrigo has built an incredible team of students who have learned high-level technique from the exceptionally friendly instructors. A few months ago my son joined the academy as well and he has been having a blast! It is a terrific way for the children to make friends, while being physically active, learning self-defence and discipline. The facility is very spacious and well-kept and the weight-training equipment is quite modern. This is an excellent place to learn Jiu Jitsu!
