    Amazing gym, even better kids aftercare program! They make sure to take great care of my children and they have lots of fun there. All while learning self defense in jiu jitsu.

    The Ocala Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is a certified polished gem. I think that as many people get older, friends move away, and schedules get complicated, we lose an important sense of community and belonging. Coach Matt provides an environment that fosters exactly that and more. While developing valuable skills, we challenge ourselves and each other in ways that seem to inspire growing together. While I’m still just a beginner, as fresh as they come in every way except my age, I never once felt even the slightest bit looked down on. Everyone I’ve met so far is super friendly and inviting in a way that signals that the most important thing they want from you is just that you show up. I’ve considered joining for many years, arguing with myself about money, my age, and any potential embarrassment, amongst other things. Now that I’ve finally walked through those doors I can say that none of those worries matter. My only regret, if I had one, would be that I didn’t sign up sooner. If you stop putting off to tomorrow what you know in your gut you want to do today, I can almost certainly assure you that, in this case, you won’t be sorry you did it.

    This is a great gym! Professor Matt is incredibly knowledgeable and teaches new moves every week, which are usually tied to a greater theme. The group that trains here is full of great men and women who are here to learn and support each other to grow. There are no "mat bullies" here. Many people who train here place well in competitions, including several higher belt holders who are always willing to help out beginners. Overall, this gym has a great culture, and it is an excellent place to be if you want to work hard alongside others to improve your skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

    I started coming here in my sophomore year of high school, and it is no doubt the best gym in Ocala. Out of the other gyms in the area, the mat community is by far the best! Sensei Matt is a fantastic coach and a good man to learn from!

    I came to visit this gym from Tennessee as a guest. My daughter also got to be a guest in the kids’ class. Everyone was so nice to us. My brother got to try his first ever jiu jitsu lesson, and he enjoyed it as well! Great school:)

    As a parent, I’m really impressed with Ocala Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy’s summer camps. The staff is super friendly, and we felt great leaving our daughter there. They made sure the kids were safe and having fun. Plus, they often took them to local fun spots, which our daughter loved. It’s a positive and caring environment, and we’re really happy with the experience!
