Highly recommend. Professor Vicente has an unmatched passion for Jiu Jitsu, and you'll see it in everything he does. Beyond being an outstanding competitor, referee and encyclopedia of technical knowledge, he's also a great person who genuinely cares about helping others improve.

My daughter is training with professor Vicente for 3 and half years (She started in Learn2master). She absolutely love him, he is patience and he has a gift from God how to teach. As a mom, Octa is a place that I know my daughter is safe and learning not just about jiu jitsu but about hierarchy, respect and resilience. The gym is always clean and they have good teaching plan, every week they teach about one kind of technique what makes organized. I really recommend Octa. Me and my family are very happy to be part of Octa family.

I’ve been training here for a while and really like it. The teaching is solid and easy to follow, even if you’re still learning. It’s great for beginners, but there are also strong training sessions for those who want to compete. The level of jiu-jitsu here is high. The gym is always clean and well organized, which makes a big difference. The training partners are friendly and respectful, so it’s a great environment to improve and feel comfortable. Definitely recommend it.

Was nearby while traveling so popped in to watch a class. Professor Vincent was super friendly and asked if I wanted to join the class. Professor Vincent was great at explaining lots of details even down to how you grip efficiently (e.g. so you can lasso forever)! It was so much fun! People were all so friendly and welcoming! Definitely joining this gym if I move here!!! Thanks all for the fun time~ 🥰 P.S. The beautiful painting of Octa on the wall has an inspiring story behind it, capturing and sharing the gentle-yet-fighting spirit of the dojo. Ask Vincent to tell you! Here, I experienced one of those moments where you feel so grateful for the existence of such a positive space and all the wonderful souls who are part of it. 😍🙏 THANK YOU 🙏
