Ze Cobra (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu)

I’ve had the incredible opportunity to learn from Robinho and receive my 4th degree black belt under his guidance. Robinho is a world-renowned black belt, an IBJJF Hall of Famer, and a true master of Jiu-Jitsu. If you're looking to elevate your Jiu-Jitsu skills, I highly recommend learning from the legendary Robson Moura – it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Training here is like having a second family. RMNU HQ jiu jitsu gym has a strong sense of community and camaraderie, which is very important to me. They show respect and attention to all belt levels, regardless if it's your first class or if you've been there for years. All belt levels roll with each other and there are no big egos here. There is a reception and waiting area for families, the gym is well maintained, bathrooms are always clean and well stocked, and there is a water fountain available. Robson teaches most classes himself, and some classes are taught by Rodrigo and Bobby, who are also very skilled. There is a wide selection of classes taught daily during the week (morning, afternoon, and evening), various class difficulty levels (fundamentals, advanced, and competition), and gi and no-gi class options. Whether you are a jiu jitsu beginner or a veteran, this is an excellent place to train!

It has been 18 months since I started at RMNU. My only regret is that I did not start sooner. Starting at 49 and now 50 I am 25 lbs lighter, far more flexible, and stronger than the day I started. I enjoy every time I go. I have met and train with fantastic people that keep me motivated to learn and improve. I now have my daughter attending making bjj a family event and something we get to work on together.

Been here just over a year now and it has been nothing short of incredible. From the fundamentals to the advanced this place just doesn't miss a beat. You will be hard pressed to find a better group of men and women to surround yourself with, let alone find better training. Robson Moura is one of the greatest to ever do it and his teaching doesn't fall short either, coaching plenty of his competitors to wins at the highest level of the sport. He has truly dedicated his life to not only the art of Jiu-Jitsu but also his students. What really solidifies it for me is the type of person he truly is. This is a man who was quite literally the king of his division at the highest levels of international competition yet if you didn't know who he was you would never guess it. Not once have I seen him brag and boast about his victories and accomplishments or belittle people who haven't found the same level of success. For the level of success this man has found in life he never forgot about his roots and the people around him. In an age where it has started to become the norm to be arrogant, loud mouthed and fake to build a following and brand it is a breath of fresh air to know that there are still people like Robson who are humble, true to themselves and enjoy helping people become the best version of themselves.

We are so blessed to have Professor Robson here in the Tampa bay area. Truly a fantastic school in every respect. Everyone involved with the school is a joy to be around. The students check their egos at the door and the instruction is second to none. I'm learning so much and can't get enough. I'm 54 years old and feel like this is something I can do till I can't get out of bed any more.

Always a great learning opportunity for me when I come to visit. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. As a visiting Black Belt, there was never a sense of anyone trying to test me during our training and sparring sessions. If you live in Tampa and you're looking to improve your physical and mental health,. you really need to check out RMNU HQ. They have Fundamental and Advanced classes, but more importantly: the teammates that you will be training with are friendly and encouraging. They are there to help you get better.

My wife and I are very happy we found this gym when we moved to Tampa a couple of years ago this is an awesome place to train. Very welcoming coaches and students. There are a variety of of classes offered such as fundamentals, advanced, all levels, women only (led by a female black belt), competition and nogi. Whether you are a beginner, hobbyist or a serious competitor this gym has something for everyone. Aside from being able to learn from a BJJ hall of famer like professor Robson, it is also common to find multiple black belts on the mat willing to share their knowledge during any given class.

About three weeks ago, my wife and I walked in to check out this academy and was greeted right away at the door by Duda. She was very friendly and professional and answered all of our questions. She then allowed us to go behind the wall to check out the facility and we noticed how clean and organized this place was. We checked out another BJJ academy and it wasn’t as clean and structured as Robson Moura’s. While checking out the training session that was taking place, Robson saw us and came up to us and welcomed us and talked a little bit with us. We were amazed at how friendly everyone was. My wife and I both decided to sign up and even got our 12 year old daughter to sign up. All three of us are now training and we love every minute of it! BJJ has become a daily topic of conversation at home and we are even trying to clean up our diets. Professor Rodrigo is an amazing instructor who takes his time and ensures the safety of everyone on the mat. He is also very knowledgeable with many years of experience. Everyone that we have met here is friendly and accepting as well. If you are looking for a place to train BJJ, I highly recommend this academy. You will not be disappointed!

All I can say is WOW! I have been training jiu jitsu on and off for about 10 years now and decided to take a couple private lessons with Robson while I was in town. As an instructor he is humble, knowledgeable, caring and his skill and techniques are second to none. After a few rolls, he was able to teach me simple and effective techniques that I was able to immediately incorporate into my jiu jitsu game. Awesome experience and cannot wait to go back again. Thank you Robson!

The 2nd Annual RMNU Training Camp was my very first seminar. Being relatively new to BJJ and after reading reviews of other seminars on BJJ forums, I was a bit intimidated and wondered if I would get benefit by attending a seminar. A friend encouraged me to attend and boy was it an experience of a lifetime! The atmosphere was all family. I made many new friends from all walks of life and walked away with a new perspective of my Jiu-jitsu game. Although some techniques at first glance looked too advanced, the time was taken to break it down to its elements gave me the confidence, that with some drilling, I could definitely hit these in active sparring. With this level of instructions, I believe Nothing was beyond my reach. I'll be reserving my spot for next year's RMNU Training Camp.

If you have the RMNU Patch on your GI, you owe it to yourself to make a trip to the Headquarters. Everyone is friendly and they welcome you to train with open arms. I was just in over the 4th of July weekend and was able to be on the mats with 4 Black Belts, 1 Brown Belt, 9 other Purple Belts, and two skilled Blue and Green Belts. A lot of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu knowledge that is being shared on the mats. Go soak it up.

Robson Moura Jiu-Jitsu Academy is an incredible place to train. Whether your goal is to get in shape, compete in the highest level of competition, or just to explore a fun healthy hobby : RMBJJ is the place to go. Everyone at this academy including the front desk, students, and Professor Robson himself were extremely friendly and welcoming. Students and staff are genuinely happy to be there. Although I did not see the children's program, I spoke to one of the guys I trained with in the adult program whose sons are enrolled and he had nothing but great things to say about that program as well. The facility itself was spacious and clean and classes were organized and ran on time. I will definitely be training here again and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone in the Tampa area.

I could not say enough about Robson Moura Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. It is truly second to none. What Professor Moura teaches is as effective in sport as well as for self-defense. Although Professor Moura is an 8x world camp, what I like most about him is he is so humble and is great instructor. He can take the most complex moves and break it down so you can understand them as well as will show you all the little details that really make them work.

Having recently attended an intensive, weekend-long training camp at the RMNU Academy (and having attended Robson's seminars in the past), I would highly recommend the RMNU Academy to anyone considering training in the martial arts, regardless of your past experience and/or future goals. LEVEL OF INSTRUCTION: Robson Moura is an eight-time world champion, with titles in both gi and no-gi BJJ (for beginners, the "gi" is the traditional, Japanese-style kimono commonly associated with most martial arts, while "no gi" competitors typically compete in a rash guard and board shorts). He is universally recognized within BJJ communities as one of the sport's greatest competitors. More importantly, however, Robson is a dedicated teacher (and student) of jiu jitsu, who tailors his classes to the ability level and goals of his students. Also, while the Academy has many accomplished black belt instructors other than Robson, it is important to note that Robson remains actively involved in the teaching of group classes to students of all belt levels. Examples of Robson's teaching style can be found by searching his name on YouTube. ACADEMY CULTURE: The RMNU Academy offers a family environment rooted in a culture of mutual respect. In my visit to the Academy for the RMNU Camp, I had the opportunity to train with students of RMNU-affiliated gyms from across North America (e.g. I live in Toronto, Canada), all of whom shared this same philosophy. The benefits of such a culture include the following: (a) instructors maintain friendly relationships with students, and command respect only through their experience and ability to convey knowledge; (b) when training potentially dangerous techniques and/or participating in rolling sessions (the grappling equivalent of sparring in boxing), you know that your training partner has your safety as his/her top priority; and (c) while the learning curve for BJJ can be steep, the process is much faster when your training partners take an active interest in your development. Robson and his instructors recognize that the rewards of training BJJ (fitness; self-confidence; self-defense) are only realized after you get past the initial intimidation/frustration of the first few steps, particularly when BJJ is the first martial art you've trained. FACILITIES: The facilities at the Academy are immaculately clean and well-lit, the importance of which cannot be overstated. For the above reasons, as stated at the outset of this review, I highly recommend the RMNU Academy to anyone interested in training BJJ.
