This place is amazing! Each coach takes the time to get to know each student. They push each student to be their best. They teach for real life and competition.

"Our experience at Xequemate has been nothing short of exceptional. Professor Alex and his team have created a nurturing environment where kids not only learn Jiu Jitsu but also develop essential life skills. Professor Alex stands out for his remarkable patience and dedication to each child's progress. He takes the time to ensure every student feels supported and encouraged, no matter their skill level. The school itself is immaculate, which is a testament to their commitment to cleanliness and hygiene. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that puts both kids and parents at ease. The facilities are well-maintained and designed with the safety and comfort of the students in mind. My children have grown in confidence and discipline since joining and I couldn't be happier with their progress. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking to introduce their children to the world of martial arts in a supportive and clean environment. Thank you, Professor Alex, and the entire team, for your dedication and passion!"

I took my first class in several years at Xequemate with Allan and had an incredible time. He is a great coach and even though I'm an out of shape beginner, I felt like I belonged. I look forward to coming again, thank you for being so kind, patient, and humorous!

Definitely a great place. Having never trained any type of martial arts in my life, they were very accepting and willing to work with me and are very patient. Every class has been great, amazing environment to be in. Everyone is friendly. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to learn.

Allan is a phenomenal instructor with plenty of patience and experience. His classes are challenging and extremely in depth. Dean is another patient and knowledgeable instructor who gives thorough instruction. All of the students that I’ve experienced are respectful and practice restraint. I’m very happy I found this place. Thank you!

I checked out a few places before deciding to start my BJJ journey here. A decision I don't regret! It's a great environment to work and learn in. An emphasis on technique makes for a safe environment in which to learn a combat sport. The vibe in the kids classes is next level too. Come and roll with me.

I am in the Navy, and I visited here a week ago while on temporary duty. The coaches were welcoming and the class was great. We trained in some self-defense BJJ techniques for an hour. Then the class did some free rolling. I rolled for 30 minutes. Had some tough rolls, and the attitudes of everyone there were fantastic. Highly recommended!

The facility is nice and spacious. Clean mats and wonderful aesthetics. The coaches of this academy really strive to make it a safe, comfortable place for training and less on the toxicity. I gladly transferred from my previous gym to Xequemate.

This place feels like family. Great instruction. Great friendships. Great atmosphere. Very clean and reasonably priced. Multiple classes throughout the week means I can always find something that works with my strange work schedule.

I’ve been to other gyms in NY, NJ, and scoped out a bunch of gyms here in Jacksonville. I signed up on day one after checking out other places and telling other gyms let me sleep on it. That means a lot. To sign up day one. Culture here is great. People are great. Safety is number one. I would be happy at another gym but this place is special. Because I’ve learned more here than at other places. I’m more than happy here. Bonus: “growth mindset” is stressed here rather than ego driven mindset.

This gym has great mats, excellent instruction and a friendly/clean environment to learn Ju Jitsu. The training partners are very good to work with and after training they turn on music so you can spar with your classmates or you can skip sparring with no pressure.

Big place, friendly environment, family oriented and inspiring culture! The instructors are good and very accommodating. This place is not about your membership fees like other places. They offered free classes for us to try it out. After my first FREE class I wanted to signup already! Check out this place ASAP!

I love training here. Bobby is one of the most laid back, knowledgeable, kind people I know. Not only is he a beast on the mats, he's an amazing teacher. There's a lot to be said for that. That's an art in itself!
