Started BJJ back up again after 10+ years off and very happy with Rodrigo's teaching methods! Explains everything step by step and very clearly. All ego's are left at the door when we roll and it's nice that you can roll hard or easy, but not one is trying to injure you. Very clean gym and bathrooms.Can't recommend this place enough!

Brave MAI offers a clean, modern facility and world-class training. Rodrigo is on the mat almost all the time, offering advice and training with everyone. The overall atmosphere is positive and focused on technique. No hard selling, no "special" memberships, very supportive crowd. Give it a try, you will not regret it.

They are a very good group teachers and students. Despite the difference in age, they treat my son more like a friend than a student. Rodrigo and the team teach in a positive and upbeat approach. If you are interested in Martial Arts, specifically BJJ I would recommend visiting Brave MAI, meet them and give it a try.
