313 BJJ is a world-class gem hiding in plain sight. The instructors, led by Fabio Lima, are kind, patient, and absolute masters at their craft. Their jiu jitsu is amazing, but their ability to teach is absolutely unparalleled. More importantly, the atmosphere of the gym is as friendly and unintimidating as any place I’ve ever been. I've had the luxury of traveling across the country and world and training at more gyms than I can count, and I can honestly say that there aren't many places quite like 313. The training here is top notch. But the people are even better. Can’t recommend enough.

This gym has been phenomenal since the first day that I walked in. The head instructor Fabio is both extremely knowledgeable and endearing with his students. In the 7 gyms that I have visited so far, he has demonstrated the highest quality of instruction and structure in his classes. The environment of every gym trickles down from it's head instructor, and at this gym everyone is extremely kind and welcoming. They are invested in seeing you improve while at the same time patient with your journey. High quality jiu jitsu taught from and to great people. Also comparatively very clean mats, locker room, and showers which is a huge plus.

I have been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a few years now and it is undeniably one of the most technical martial arts. In my experience, the best way to describe it is like a slowly blossoming tree, each tree branch representing a move. That move can further be improved upon or can continue to grow into a secondary branch representing the next sequence of the movement. For every move, there is a counter and to every counter, there is another. It teaches you to think ahead and anticipate your opponent’s movements and teaches you how to best respond to those movements. Jiu-Jitsu is a physical game of chess that pushes you to think of all the possible outcomes two or three steps ahead. Jiu-Jitsu has a limitless category of moves you can pick and choose from to build on what works for you. it allows you to develop your own inspired style of game. Fabio and the 313BJJ team do an outstanding job of guiding students through a skill with very detailed and thorough instruction, all while allowing students to develop a fighting style that is unique to themselves. Fabio is the humblest most skilled blackbelt in jiu-jitsu that has built an atmosphere where like-minded individuals can grow. At 313BJJ you can find one of the cleanest and most welcoming environments filled with good people pushing each other to greatness both on the mats and off. OSSS!

I walked into 313 BJJ a complete beginner and out of shape about 4 months ago. I had no idea what to expect and was very nervous my first day. From Day 1 Fabio has not only made me feel at ease but has pushed me to work hard and stay committed as a beginner. His instructors are all highly talented and each impart a different way of teaching that build very well rounded lessons and students. Everyone pays huge attention to cleanliness and the mats are disinfected multiple times a day. With their diverse schedule I'm able to come train mornings, noon and evenings whenever my schedule allows. Everyone here is very friendly, I can't believe how lucky I am to have walked in to 313 out of all the gyms around Detroit - Thank you Fabio, Mamoon, Jesse, Juan, Byron, Zach and everyone else!

I've trained around the metro Detroit area and I have to say 313 Brazilian Jiu jitsu is the best gym around. Clean training environment with plenty of space. Great instructors at every class from early mornings to night classes! Fabio is a legit assassin and a black belt under Marcelo Garcia and it shows every time you step on the mats with him or any of his long time students. Fabio has the skills that not only pays his bills but helps you achieve and develop some of your own life skills. What is learned on the mats can be taken into the real world that's more than self defense wise. Developing mental toughness, situational awareness and meet some of the greatest Detroit has to offer. If you are looking to drop in, starting your bjj journey or a change of scenery. 313 Brazilian jiu jitsu is the gym you've been looking for.

I am a beginner who trains at a academy north of the city close to my home, but work downtown. I decided to drop in for some training at an afternoon class at 313 BJJ. I was very impressed. Professor Lima gave some great instruction on shoulder lock sequences from half-guard. It was followed by some very challenging sparing. Lima's students are being very well served by him and are very good. The facilities are also top notch, very clean, and very modern looking (but with some old Detroit charm) with multiple showers (with soap and shampoo provided, which saves you the big hassle of bringing and storing your own in your gear bag -little thing but big plus imho) nice locker room, and multiple restrooms that are separate from the showers. Look forward to dropping in again. Would recommend to anyone who lives or works in the Motor City.

I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that Detroit had a decent selection of Brazilian jiu jitsu gyms in the downtown area. I was even more surprised to find an incredible gym that also happened to be an affiliate of Marcelo Garcia Academy. 313 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a fairly new gym owned by Professor Fabio Lima, a talented Marcelo Garcia Blackbelt, and is a welcoming place for anyone to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu. The gym itself is clean, spacious, and is one of the few gyms that has all the amenities such as locker rooms, bathrooms, showers, and even a washer/dryer. After learning and personally training with Professor Fabio, I can attest that he is a gifted teacher who not only provides clear instructions to his students but also demonstrates great skill in implementing techniques while sparring. The students are both kind and great competitors, just like their professor, which makes for a positive training environment. It’s amazing to find such a high caliber gym in Detroit and I look forward to training again in the near future. I highly recommend any newcomers or visitors to pay a visit to 313 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

This is an excellent school. The instructors, curriculum, facilities, lineage and overall experience is 100%. My team mates are respectful and friendly (good atmosphere). I've been a student for about 7 months and attending class is my favorite part of my day-time routine. After 7 months I'm in incredible shape compared to when I first signed up. It's also not very crowded so I get a lot more one-on-one with my instructor. Curriculum - there is a good balance between self-defense and sport jiu-jitsu. Training is both in a uniform (Gi) and no-gi for more experienced students. Class focus is fairly equally spent on drilling new techniques, sparring and conditioning. Instructors - two great instructors that have a passion for the art and passing on their years of knowledge. Zander and Fabio have studied under the world's best jiu-jitsu practitioners (Gracie Family and Marcelo Garcia). They are good at explaining the technique portion of the class and correcting bad form until we have it nailed. They've really helped me in deconstructing the anatomy of a street fight from a tangling mess of flailing limbs into a rational system of self-defense Schedule - multiple classes per day to fit most schedules (including 7:00 am Monday, Wednesday, Friday) Facilities - parking is great, secured location downtown (it's perfect for me [an office worker]), mats are clean, they have bathrooms and a shower facility. Intro class - if you are unsure, I would just ask for the free intro/eval class which is designed for someone to walk in off the street and take, no uniform or prior experienced needed. The free intro class pretty much had me hooked. Fabio taught me how to deal with someone who attacks me while I'm sunbathing at the beach. How cool is that? Downsides? My work clothes don't fit anymore. I have to synch up my belt because I went from size 38 to 32 pants.

I met Zander (one of the owners/instructors) in the fall. He told me he was opening a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym and that I should check it out. I had never heard of BJJ before and when I found out what it was I thought “NO WAY IN HELL AND I EVER GOING TO STEP FOOT IN THAT GYM!” After further discussions with Zander and doing some research on line I was intrigued by the sport and decided to break out of my comfort zone and give it a try. Obviously, I cannot compare them to other gyms but I can say that as a 41-year-old walking in off the street with NO fighting/martial art knowledge, I couldn’t be happier with my decision. First, both Zander and Fabio are extremely friendly and welcoming and the vibe of the gym is not macho at all. They are great at breaking down the moves and teaching them in a way that is easy to grasp. If you’re not catching on to something right way they work with you personally until you’ve got it. They take these smaller moves and build them into sequences replicating real life situations and at the end of each class you feel empowered! The gym is super clean. With unlimited classes, you definitely get your money’s worth.

I happen to be newer and they both have taken the time to give me special attention to work on my weak areas. This is important because the technical aspects of the art are crucial to learn properly. They are really effective at making the learning experience enjoyable while also providing an awesome workout. You will get in shape!!!! Another plus is that I like everyone I have met in the class. I would recommend 313 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to anyone!

My family and I were visiting the in-laws for the holidays in Detroit. Looking for a place to drop in at, I found 313 BJJ. I'm shocked at what a lucky break I caught. These guys have started a great school. Clean environment with a large mat space. But most importantly the Instructors were awesome. Zander Heinen and Fabio Lima are excellent teachers, having trained under Marcelo Garcia for 6 years. They broke downs some very complicated deep half guard positions and escapes, taking their time with the instruction. The school is easy to get to, it's right off the highway near the Motor City Casino. I truly wish these guys the best with their school, they have all the right things in place. My only regret is wishing I lived closer to train under them more consistently. Oss!

Great place to train! The classes are fun and challenging from the warm up all the way through to the rolling at the end, and all in a clean environment supervised by experienced instructors that have competed and trained at the highest levels. There is a large secure parking lot in the back and there are showers available. If you're interested in learning jiu jitsu you owe it to yourself to try this place out.

Been training here since it opened. Its in a convenient location, clean, and the instruction is top drawer. Ive learned self defense, leverage, balanced movement/philosophy, and had some great workouts. Definitely my jiu-jitsu home!

Took the Intro class with Zander today, he was awesome, took his time to thoroughly explain everything we were doing and go over correct technique before moving on, starting regular classes Monday!
