One of the most welcoming BJJ gyms I’ve ever visited. Coach Antione was friendly, professional and patient. I learned a ton in one class due to his great teaching and the help of his students. It’s hard to try something new and BJJ seems intimidating for a female, but I didn’t feel that here. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you!
Posted 6 months agoI dropped by to look for a new gym to train at because I want to always continue learning and growing and I feel like it's my time to start a new adventure! I dropped by with some good friends of mine and let me say this. Coach Antonio and his wife were above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and when I say this gym literally has no ego, I mean it. Everybody is not only respectful and kind, but really REALLY good! Great environment for anybody to go and learn and have a good time. On top of all that, the place is very clean, hygienic and beautiful mat space and a cool gym in the back to lift weights. Appreciate everything guys! 11 out 10.
Posted 11 months agoMy 6 year old daughter just started BJJ a couple months ago and absolutely loves her time at The Academy. From day one the kids all made her feel welcome. The instructors are very skilled at meeting kids at their level while also holding them to a standard of discipline. It is definitely a family vibe when you walk into their facility and we’re grateful to have found them.
Posted 1 year agoAfter over 10 years of training Jiu-Jitsu around the world, I can confidently say The Academy of BJJ is something truly special. This place combines world-class instruction and hard training with a friendly, ego-free atmosphere that’s hard to find. Antonio (aka Honeybadger) is a high-level competitor with incredibly deep knowledge — especially in leg locks and guard work — but what really blew me away is how quickly he can break down your game and give you personal tips after just watching or rolling with you. That kind of individual coaching is super rare. Most instructors say, “Keep training,” but Antonio actually sees you and helps you level up quickly. He truly believes that everyone can reach their highest potential on and off the mat, and Jiu-Jitsu is his path to bring this out in you. The vibe here is amazing. People train hard but respectfully — no egos, just good energy and real growth. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, you’ll find super-detailed, high-level instruction in every class. BJJ classes run daily, and there’s also a clean, fully equipped gym on-site, plus strength & conditioning sessions a few times a week. It’s also a great place for families. There’s a strong kids program, a kids’ playroom, and many parents (including the owners and myself) who train bring their kids, so you still get your time on the mats. I was honored to receive my black belt here in late 2024, and I couldn’t imagine a better place to train. This is the place if you’re looking for authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Las Vegas, especially in the Summerlin area. Come by to try classes. Doors are always open during open mat. Oss!
Posted 1 year agoThe Academy stands out as an incredible organization, offering a tightly knit environment alongside exceptional teaching and expertise. Jen, Moses, and the entire team embody excellence. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found their gym and mentorship for our daughter's jiu-jitsu journey. Jen's genuine care and dedication are unmatched, while Moses and the other coaches demonstrate top-tier professionalism. The sense of family within the organization is undeniable, and we're thrilled with the progress, encouragement, and discipline our daughter has gained. Approaching nearly a year with the team, our commitment remains steadfast—we're here to stay.
Just did a drop-in, as a travelling purple belt from Australia. Was warmly welcomed by the whole crew. I learned a great detail from Moises straight away and will work on more. Highly recommended for jits in Vegas
Great vibe, great atmosphere, and great instructors.
If you’re looking for an awesome family oriented bjj gym check this place out! Coaches are very dedicated to the kids and adults, and provide great training and encouragement! 10/10 would recommend!
Just wrapped up 6 months of training here, and if you want to be lovingly pushed from your comfort zones and encouraged to reach higher goals for yourself while having fun with awesome people, this it it! Fantastic kids program as well. Great staff, beautiful facility. Check it out!!!! 🐼
I have been attending this gym for a couple months now. Both of my children train here. This is a family owned gym. We feel like a big BJJ family! If you want to train BJJ, this is the place to go. Honeybadgers!!!!!
I relocated to LV from Texas a few months ago, and I got extremely lucky finding the Academy. The facility is very clean and friendly, Moises and his wife are amazing. If you're looking for a great environment for you or your kids, where there's a real community, then this is the place for you.
It has been a positive experience going to The Academy of BJJ. Great family environment and the coaches are very informative with the students when teaching the techniques. I have my 5-year-old son enrolled here to learn confidence and be more assertive. Every week you can see him growing from learning to work hard. The kids BJJ program is exceptional and my son is really enjoying the classes. Besides the kids program the facility is well kept and very clean. I also would like to add that it is an inclusive environment for everyone. As a parent I was hesitant to enroll my son because of my preconceived notions, but I am now pleased we made the decision to enroll my son here. If you're looking for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym I think you should give The Academy a chance. I am certain you will not be disappointed.
Great family vibe in this gym. Everybody will welcome you with open arms and make you feel at home from day 1. Great for beginners to experienced grapplers. Gi or Nogi. Moises has a way of pushing you to be a better person, grappler and competitor. Highly recommend this gym. Moises will teach you technique that actually works!!
Great gym, great environment, really recommend! Professor Moises and his family are amazing
We did a free trial for our boys and we were extremely impressed. The Academy of BJJ are friendly and professional. The price is very reasonable and would highly recommend. We are so happy we signed up.
I can't say how much I love this gym. I've been training here almost a year now and from the first time I walked in the gym I felt welcome. Everyone I've been in contact with from Antonio to all my training partners have been incredible. It's a great family to be apart of from experienced people or beginners. No ego's, no attitudes, just good hard training. Even if you're in your mid 40's like I am, come in...you'll love it.
Started my Jiu Jitsu journey in 2013 and have been training Jiu Jitsu under Moises since last year and have nothing but great things to say about him and his establishment. Always a great vibe here when you walk through the door which made me feel very comfortable about my decision to get my whole family into jitz. Moises grows a strong bond with all his students not only because he’s our coach but because of the passion he shows for Jiu Jitsu, it keeps you wanting to come back to learn more from him, which he has a wealth of knowledge on. The gym is super clean and has plenty of room to get your learning/sweating on. Being that it is family owned is another great thing about this gym and you get that family feeling when you walk through doors. I can guarantee you that when you walk back out of the doors at the end of class you will be rocking a smile knowing you have started a great journey!!
This has been a great place to train. My kids love the kids’ class, they can’t wait to go to class! For the adults class, my husband and I always have a great group of men and women to train with.... all skill levels. I started jui jitsu a few months ago and have lost 15 pounds, the class includes a great warm-up/ technique lessons/live rolls!
My babies started going here. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Moises and his wife have been more than accommodating. They really take their time with our kids and give them the knowledge they need to grow successful. Thank you Coach and team!
My husband & I have been training under professor Moises Antonio Lopez AKA “Honeybadger” for nearly 2 years. Not only does he have a gift with his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction & knowledge, but you’re also going to find a genuinely good hearted person/family who runs this school! It's a powerhouse combo when it comes to making class tough, but educational & enjoyable for his students!! The Academy is a clean, top notch facility and the students are always welcoming, fun, and know how to push the pace! (I also love that I can get a good sweat in the strength and conditioning room before class even starts!) There's a no drama/no politics mentality when you step on The Honeybadgers mats--everyone is welcome. It makes the sport really enjoyable!
I took my first ever BJJ class anywhere and it was at The Academy Of Brazilian Jujitsu. You never forget your first time doing anything and it was great. It was challenging but not too challenging to make you want to quit. I definitely had a fulfilling feeling at the end of class. It's family owned and operated and the other students in the class felt like an extension of the owners family. Other class members helped me out a a lot seeing is how I dropped in on an advanced class for my first time. (I know, I know.) The mats are clean and nice (I spent a lot of time getting a feel for them LOL) and there is a great exercise room for warm ups or cool downs. I would suggest anyone and everyone looking to get started to give The Academy a visit and a chance. Don't take Collin's word for it ... come in and see for yourself... from a newly signed up student to you.
When you walk in it feels like family. Training for the entire family!
Top tier instruction and elite level training for anyone from a hobbyist to a professional! World class training with excellent mat space and strength and conditioning facilities! Extremely welcoming and positive environment and the best place to learn Brazilian in Las Vegas! I have trained on three continents and in several countries, and this is the best program I’ve ever had the pleasure to be a part of!
The wife of the owner is very sweet although when I was there checking out the place I got a lot of weird stares. This was not only from the students but from the teachers as well, it made me feel very uncomfortable.
The lady at the front desk who I assume is the spouse of Moises is not pleasant to deal with. She’s not empathetic in any way if your child gets hurt and can’t participate. She even flat out lied that a medical excuse would not be accepted when the contract says a medical disability could break the contract. I didn’t see that until later. I would take your child elsewhere as long as she is running the business.
