Bill Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association - Jacksonville, Florida

Luis Rojas

The highest priority for our daughter is her safety. We came in over a year ago and make no mistake the first day might be overwhelming but Professor Bill assured us that it's normal. In the second visit she wore her GI and was eager to be on the mat. The confidence our daughter has built definitely helped in kindergarten during a bullying incident. Professor Bill and his team helped teach how to neutralize whether from a standing or on your back. All parents love watching the kids during the belt ceremonies and even coming back from a competition to celebrate. Bill's Jiu-jitsu teaches all students respect, confidence and discipline.

Bill Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association is a fantastic place for young learners! My 6-year-old son Leo absolutely loves his classes there. Professor Bill is an outstanding coach, combining skill, patience, and enthusiasm, which keeps my son engaged and excited to learn every week. Highly recommend!

I’m only a few classes in but I’m hooked, and it is exactly the kind of facility I was hoping to find. Professor Bill is great and takes time to show and explain the techniques, and throws some stories in that make jiu jitsu relatable to everyday life. Everyone I have been on the mat with has been respectful and helpful, and there is nothing but good energy in the building.

It is also a great workout! I truly enjoy the mental and physical challenge, and excited to learn as much as I can.

This gym is a great place if you are looking to start jiujitsu or are a returning student. I came here after a while of not training and Coach Bill and his wife were super friendly. They allowed me to check out the class and then helped sign up that day! If you're looking for a safe, clean, and experienced jujitsu gym for you or your kids this is the place to be!

Professor Bill and his fellow teachers have immensely helped my daughter in developing her self confidence. They are very careful in motivating the kids while also preparing them to avoid potential injuries to each other. The way they carefully watch over the kids during training is very impressive. It is a great place for kids to learn authentic BJJ in an inspiring and disciplined environment.

This is a fantastic place with a dedicated husband and wife team and well trained assistants that teach every age group from 4 years old to adult. Our granddaughter attends and we are not only impressed with how and what she is learning on the physical end but also life lessons. Ava attends one hour sessions 3 times per week and when we attend can see her self confidence growing as well as her respect for herself and others. Teacher Bill as well as all involved work on the mats and hands on showing the classes not only how to do the various holds but what are the results of correct and incorrect actions. At a recent class I listened to Instructor Bill challenge his students to always do the most difficult task at home or school as that is what will make you a better person...how often do you hear others offering that challenge? I cannot give this place a higher rating than a 5 and suggest you stop in with your child or grandchild and not only see but experience a truly professional organization that will help you and your children become better persons.

My two kids (boy and girl) started classes late last year after shifting from soccer and I can say with absolute conviction they love it. They have not missed kicking the football since joining & have grown from knowing nothing about jiu-jitsu to relishing the opportunity to apply submissions and techniques they learned over the course of these months. It was such a great environment that when my kids challenged me to start as well, i found it impossible to resist.
I started two months ago and the level of professionalism and optimism of Professor Bill along with his dedicated and knowledgeable staff was exceptional. Everyone, to include my classmates, is friendly - no egos apply. So if you are cocky, looking to win championships in the gym or destroy your partner, this is not the place for you. However, if you want to learn jiu-jitsu from what I consider a great team and challenge yourself against skilled practitioners, i highly recommend this school. All three of us are fully engaged 3x a week and look forward to many years of discipline and fulfillment!
