From the reviews
The school is awesome! Excellent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction provided by multiple time World Champion Marcelo Salazar Bergo. Friendly atmosphere, excellent kids program, and a very large well equipped facility.
My niece and nephew were in town visiting. I called ahead to see if they could just integrate into a class. I brought them in to the evening class and they were easily able to go along with the kids. The staff are really welcoming! In speaking with one of the Mothers, she indicated her husband took the adult classes.
George and Tony taught an AMAZING women’s self defense class to my Christian divorced women’s group. They taught us skills to defend ourselves that were simple and effective. They were knowledgeable and passionate about woman’s safety. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back for classes or recommend friends and family here.
Great instruction and amazing facility. Super knowledgeable in the art and discipline of jiujitsu in the GI and Nogi. Professor Marcello Bergo is articulate in his delivery of the technique. Professor George Bemister is also deliberate in passing the knowledge to his colleagues and students
New to muay thai? Start at Brazilian Top Team, Jacksonville FL
Brazilian Top Team, Jacksonville FL comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Brazilian Top Team, Jacksonville FL
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
