This is a place for the whole family. Crispim is an amazing instructor who dedicates himself to his students. The other instructors are just as amazing, inspiring you to do your best. Having a child with adhd I have found that he does well at jiujitsu because he is forced to focus and work hard but can constantly move. My other son excels in this sport also and has made him more confident and able to make friends easily. I've really enjoyed the fitness classes with Daniel and he motivates me to do and be better. I can't say enough amazing things about this place. We feel like part of a family and it is just what we were looking for.

My daughter has been taking BJJ for a few months at Crispim and we absolutely love it! The studio is clean, the professors are amazing and great with children, and they treat you like family. My daughter loves going to her classes and I could not be more thrilled that we found this studio.

I've been a student at Crispim BJJ for about 3 months now. I had no previous martial arts training prior to joining. I had looked around on and off for years trying to figure out which discipline to engage in. After moving to the area, I decided to give it a try. From the beginning, they could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Johnny was great! We chatted via text and phone just answering questions I had, talking about the art and what his experience had been. He made the initiation process easy and was very accommodating.
My first visit to the Academy involved a tour, meeting Crispim and an introductory lesson with Jerimiah; both great guys. It was eye opening for someone who had never trained. I showed up for my first class a week later. Johnny was helpful and patient in getting my Gi picked out and working with me on the type of membership that best suited me.
The training from the first day has been great! I've learned so much in such a short period of time! There were moments in the beginning where you get frustrated because you're trying to absorb something new, but everyone was supportive and encouraging.
The most important thing that I want to express here is just how friendly the staff and other students are. Crispim, Beto, Jerimiah and Marcio are all great guys. Every time I'm there, the staff remembers your name, says hello, smiles and overall creates a warm, family environment. And I only go 2 days a week. Always surprised that they remember my name. It makes a big difference in making you feel welcomed and part of the team....despite being a new white belt! All of the other students, regardless of their belt ranking are equally nice and friendly. When you walk in, someone says hello and when you leave, someone says goodbye, see you next class, etc.
Just can't say enough about much I enjoy training learning at the Academy. Student for life!!
