  I’ve been training under Coach Sandro for about a year and a half, and he’s easily in a league of his own. His classes are exceptionally well-prepared, thoughtfully paced, and packed with intensity. If you’re serious about improving your martial arts skills, this is the place to be. Coach Sandro genuinely cares about his students’ progress — he’s not the type to just go through the motions or recycle the same handful of techniques. Every class offers something new and valuable, keeping you constantly engaged and growing. Beyond their skill as instructors, Coach Sandro and his team are incredible people who create a supportive and motivating environment. It’s been an absolute pleasure training with them, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

  I recently joined to train under Professor Sandro, and it’s been the best decision I’ve made for my BJJ journey. The level of instruction here is top-notch, with a strong focus on both fundamentals and advanced techniques. Sandro has an incredible ability to break down concepts in a way that’s easy to understand and apply, making every session both challenging and rewarding. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, with training partners who push you to improve while maintaining a strong sense of camaraderie. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this is the place to be if you want to elevate your game. Highly recommend!

  This is a great martial arts studio. My 9 year old and I both take classes here. We are new to town and had tried out 3 or 4 other places around Arlington, and were SO HAPPY when Sandro and Suzanne opened Original BJJ because it is a level above the other studios. Classes are never overcrowded, it is always clean, and the student-teacher ratio is excellent. Your kid will get lots of personal attention here and not get lost in the crowd. Sandro, Suzanne and all of the instructors are great with kids, and make sure they are building their confidence and skills while having fun. You can tell they really care about the kids and love what they do. In the adult classes, there are students of all levels which is nice. I personally appreciate that there is a core group of women who practice here. I always learn something new and am challenged by Professor Sandro. He knows a lot about BJJ and is very open with his knowledge. Coach Suzanne is warm and welcoming, and such a great resource with tips and tricks on how to improve your game. We are very glad to be part of this community!

  Coach Sandro is a remarkable coach and person. He has a unique combination of unparalleled knowledge and teaching abilities which creates an excellent learning environment. He is also very personable and takes an interest in all of his students. His classes are always a good workout filled with new techniques and jokes to keep the class fun and engaging. If you are thinking about joining then you should come and try a class to see for yourself

  The atmosphere is amazing! Students do not take themselves too seriously and have deep respect for their partners on the mat. I came for a trial and immediately joined for three months. The instructors add humor and caution throughout the entire session. Schedule is consistent throughout the week with advance notice of changes.
