What Our Students Say
Here’s what some of our students at the association had to say about their experience with us.

Renato is one of the best masters in BJJ. It’s not in vain we call him MASTER!!! Besides the knowledge he has, the team it’s amazing. I came from another gym and the whole team welcomed me with open arms like a brother. If you wanna learn, get fit and learn about brotherhood. Come and experience the power of BJJ!

This is a great place to start. The instructors are very helpful & can assess your skill level. We are taking the BJJ class and kickboxing twice a week and we love it. Very nice owner is always there & easy to talk to . Kid classes too. Very clean.

I'm a one stripe white belt who has been training for about 5 months. A few weeks ago I was visiting family in Vero Beach and decided to check out the BJJ schools in the area. I found RT and dropped in on an afternoon session. My experience could not have been better! Great instructors, welcoming atmosphere, and great folks! Vero beach has a great BJJ resource with RT Martial Arts Academy, I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area thinking about training BJJ.

Great BJJ School. The best in the area. My Husband Wendel has been training there for seven years. Master Renato is truly inspirational for my husband's life. They are a true family. Ossssss!
