Tides BJJ with Hiram is truly exceptional. His deep technical knowledge is matched only by his clear, patient teaching style, which makes complex concepts accessible to everyone. The atmosphere is welcoming and challenging in the best way, fostering both skill development and a strong sense of community. Training here has been transformative for my jiu-jitsu journey. I highly recommend this class to anyone, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners.

I have joined Tides BJJ a year ago and it was the best decision I have made. Coach, Hiram, is very professional and supportive in each step and the team itself is the best to be a part of. It truly feels like you would be learning with a group of friends who challenges you and supports through the whole process.

I began training at Tides in August and it was an excellent decision from my very first session I was welcomed by Hiram and the entire team which made training comfortable. Each time I step onto the mats i learn something new

I started at Tides BJJ Academy about 5 months ago and it is the best decision I have ever made. Hiram is an incredible coach with an amazing amount of skill and knowledge. Every class is well structured and makes sure everyone understands the concept/movement that we are learning. It is very welcoming and friendly environment. I would highly recommend if you are looking to start BJJ or expand skills and knowledge

I started my Bjj journey at Tides Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy several months ago and haven’t looked back. Hiram is an enthusiastic and very supportive coach who will go the extra length to help you develop and learn the sport. Couldn’t recommend Tides highly enough to anyone who wants to start Bjj.

I have been training with Hiram at Tides BJJ for about 4 months now. Not only is it good to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu from an actual Brazilian but Hiram takes the time to check in when I haven't been for a few classes. A real master of the art & an amazing coach to his students. OSS!

Both my son and I are members of the Tides Academy, and I have been blown away by the passion and dedication shown to the kids by Hiram. Prior to taking up BJJ my son attended two well respected Judo schools. But he didn't excel how he has under the coaching and mentorship of Hiram. I have no hesitation in recommending Tides to anyone interested in taking up BJJ as either an adult or who is thinking about getting their kids into a sport that will help develop their confidence, robustness, and mental focus.

Since I started training at Tides, I have experienced significant growth in my skills and physical condition. Professor Hiram is exceptional; his knowledge and teaching ability are remarkable, always explaining complex concepts in a clear and accessible way. The atmosphere at Tides is welcoming and motivating, with practitioners of all levels supporting one another. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, with adequate space for training. Additionally, the class schedule is flexible, making it easy to attend. I recommend Tides to anyone interested in learning BJJ, whether you’re a beginner or experienced. It’s a place that fosters personal growth and skill development in a respectful and friendly environment.

Saturday morning U-Natural is a great way to start your weekend. Hiram is an excellent coach - designing new, challenging routines and always motivating the class with his positive attitude. Being completely new to training, the laid back welcoming community of Tides and patience of Hiram has kept me going back each week!
