I've been visiting GVA on business for 4 days and was looking for a place to train. I found Igor's number on his website, whatsapped him and got a prompt reply with exact times of classes. Although I don't speak French, the coaches demonstrated everything so clearly that I felt like I understood every single word. I felt very welcome and a part of a family almost instantly. The guys are at high level, they're beasts and I got owned a big time but with every respect; they'd often stop and explain what I was doing wrong and gave some useful tips. I'm used to doing a boxing workout after BJJ class but man, I went straight to bed after these trainings - intense and great. Great people, i'll surely come back! ANd the gym is super clean and mats absolutely fab!!

I have been training there for more than 2 years now, Igor is a great martial artist and an attentive teacher. There is a great atmosphere in the gym, laid back but also respectful. On a side note, the gym is very clean which for me is very important.

The maximum rating is 5... Igor Araujo would deserve a 6 star rating. I have never practiced BJJ before, because I dedicated my life in becoming an Olympic swimmer. I share the same values as Igor Araujo : respect, sacrifice, dedication, friendship, happiness and will to win! There is only one thing to say : THANK YOU IGOR !!!

I have been practicing BJJ in a lot of countries as a constant traveller (Dubai, Shanghai, Taiwan, Lima, Tokyo, Paris, London etc etc), this is by far the best gym. Igor Araujo is a BJJ and MMA fighter with an impressive international ranking and he is a very patient, pedagogue teacher who shares his passion for BJJ and MMA.
