[testimonial author="Matthew B, VBJJ Student"]This is my opinion on why this gym deserves a 5/5 rating. I have been training under Professor Beto since February of 2014 and decided to join after having been a long time fan of the UFC. I had always wanted to do either wrestling or Jiu Jitsu but felt that I had missed my opportunity. Since the first time I walked in and met Professor Beto, and because of the friendliness of him and his students, I have always felt welcomed. This is a friendly , ego-free, bully-free, non-intimidating gym in which you and your children (even as young as 3) can learn realistic self defense. The techniques are presented clearly and in an easy to understand way. Be sure to not mistake the friendliness for incompetence because Professor Beto has proven himself in some of highest level tournaments as a BJJ blackbelt. A true sign of a legitimate instructor is that they are never afraid to roll with their students. He regularly rolls (spars) with his advanced students and it helps make everyone better. A good instructor doesn't just talk the talk but they walk the walk. Finally, Professor Beto and his students have become friends of mine. A true sign of a martial artist is not just how you act on the mat, but off the mat as well. When you come to Vilanova BJJ you are going to be with all around cool, down to earth people.[/testimonial]
[one_third][testimonial author="Travis Schefcik, Level Seven Martial Arts"]The quality of Professor Beto's instruction is world-class. I've trained at many different BJJ Academies, and none compare to VBJJ![/testimonial][/one_third]
[one_third][testimonial author="William S., VBJJ Student"]Highly recommend this academy. Run by a tested and proven BJJ Professor. He has created an environment with a friendly, welcoming spirt and everyone who walks through the door is family.
Classes are formatted to cater to all levels whether your goal is general fitness or BJJ development. The Professor and Coaches can walk you through your first day on the mat all the way to competition preparation.
Looking for a reason to not have to transfer from the area so I can keep training here.[/testimonial][/one_third]
