From the reviews
Started taking my son here from another gym after a free trial class. Sensei Darlynson is very enthusiastic and passionate about training Jiu-Jitsu. I like the structure and respect he holds himself and the gym to. My son got into Competition BJJ so i looked for a gym to support that aspect for him.
I cannot say enough great things about this business. I am so impressed by Mr. Lira and the integrity in which he operates. He not only treats his students with the utmost respect EVERY SINGLE DAY, but he does the same for all the adults and siblings who come to observe.
This facility is great teaches the kids, discipline and respect where other facilities do not improvise on these small details you will get the whole package here and each child does get the attention and shown exactly how to perform the moves correctly. This facility is the real deal and would recommend it 110%
My kids started coming to this place in 2017. They were nervous at first but the sensei was very patient and calming. We were encouraged to come back again for their 2nd free class. After their second class we decided to sign them up and they have been enjoying the classes ever since.
Your first muay thai class at Darcio Lira Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Martial Arts
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.
