    Romulo Melo is an amazing instructor who welcomes students at all levels. This is the first martial arts gym I ever stepped foot into, and as someone who is often the only female in the morning class, it took me six months to participate in my first roll. Romulo allowed me to take my time and join when I felt ready. He consistently encouraged me and helped me overcome my fears and mental blocks. The gym culture, along with the support of other students, makes it a fantastic place to learn BJJ. It’s not just about mastering techniques—it’s about building camaraderie and supporting one another along the way. There is a women’s team that has grown, creating a welcoming space for more women to train. The gym now even offers a dedicated women’s class, helping female students feel confident and supported on the mats.
