We’re so happy to have found you 🙏Alan G2024-07-282024 Update: my son trained at Start for two years. This is definitely the best academy in Florida. We moved to WPB and we are now on are 3rd school in 2 years. The staff, professors and families are all excellent. Unlike other schools this owner is present and involved. I drive over an hour now and then just to have my son train at Start. Absolutely recommend this academy. Always feels like family. Great place excellent staff & flexible hours.sheila mattei2024-06-15I enrolled two weeks ago and I am loving the journey with the profesional teachers I feel very calm and my mind it’s in the present and feels great to be a part of a big family, the energy it’s like no other we respect each other and have discipline, anyone that needs to quiet their mind I suggest this beautiful amazing art called jujitsu. Also thank you to my professors Rodrigo and Nelson for being there and teaching me patiently God bless .🙏Linda Mendoza2024-03-12Kudos for this Jiu Jitsu Academy. No regrets at all in signing up my 9yo for the classes. Great environment, an amazing staff; coaches/professors go above and beyond while teaching children. Personally I must say, you gotta love kids and being super patient to do this kind of job and definitely they’ve got both!!! I love the mix of fun and discipline while learning, and this is the right place to get it. My daughter’s getting engaged with classes and loving it more day after day!!! Coaches/professors teach self defense in a way of turning it into a fun sport where girls (and boys) can learn self defense in a fun and safe atmosphere. There’s a wide range of training partners, ages, and sizes, sometimes I get nervous while watching from the bench, but then I remember that all these will teach my girl (and others) how they should fight different opponents, without being offensive or aggressive, but defensive. Keep the good work START 👏🏼Rafael2023-12-25Awesome place. Highly recommend.Sheen2023-11-185 star Jiu Jitsu gym for beginners and advanced.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques. It emphasizes leverage, technique, and strategy to overcome opponents of various sizes and strengths.
No, you do not need to be in peak physical condition to begin training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ itself is a great way to improve your fitness level. Our classes are structured to accommodate different fitness levels, and our instructors will help you gradually develop strength, endurance, and flexibility.
Yes! Many Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies offer specialized programs for children. BJJ can benefit children by teaching them discipline, self-confidence, respect, and practical self-defense skills in a safe and controlled environment.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is highly effective for self-defense because it focuses on ground fighting, where many real-life altercations end up. BJJ techniques allow individuals to neutralize and control opponents without relying on size or strength, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and body types.
While it’s common for BJJ academies to provide loaner or rental equipment for beginners, you will eventually need to invest in a few essential items. These typically include a BJJ gi (uniform), a mouthguard, and protective gear like knee pads or rash guards. Your academy can guide you on the specific requirements.
The frequency of training can vary depending on individual goals and availability. For beginners, it’s recommended to start with a few classes per week to build a solid foundation. As you progress, you can gradually increase training frequency. Consistency is key, so aim for a balance that fits your schedule and allows for recovery.
Yes, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu utilizes a belt ranking system to signify a practitioner’s progress and skill level. The traditional belt colors are white, blue, purple, brown, and black. Each belt requires a certain level of proficiency, time in training, and demonstration of technique and knowledge. Advancement in belt rank is typically determined through regular evaluations conducted by qualified instructors.
