AJ Sousa BJJ

AJ and the team are great.
The facility is centrally located, Clean, Always buzzing with students (Of all ages), Visiting Black Belts from other schools, Schedule is very accommodating.
I think the one thing that stands out the most about the school is getting to see kids from the youngest of ages to teens participate with their peers and even parents all the while learning self confidence, independence and a talent that will not only transcend into adulthood, but set the foundation for a great attitude through out their lives.
This stems from a trained staff who care about the students, the gym and most of all the sport and self defense portion of Jiu Jitsu.
Highly recommend anyone come in and try out a few classes if you’re skeptical or have never done anything of the sort and are looking for a place to loose weight, find new group of friends/​peers or just get your self back in to shape. No time like now!

Great place for a kid to learn. Good instructors make it fun for them to learn. Highly recommend of children and adults.

Sometimes in life there are decisions that you make and when you make them you don’t realize that they are life changing. One of those decisions in my life was training with AJ Sousa and the whole AJ Sousa BJJ family. From day one you’re not just a member of a gym but a member of a family. The people that I have met and trained with are some of the best human beings on the planet. So If you’re looking to learn self defense, get in unbelievable shape or just to be a part of something special then this place is for you. You will not regret your decision. The only thing you’ll regret is why you didn’t start sooner.

Learn from the best in a professional, clean and family orientated environment! Great place to train Martial arts from Muay Thai to Jujitsu. Try them out, You’ll love it.

The facility: Hands down one of the best training facilities I’ve ever been to (been training for 15 years). Large open space with multiple matted areas, high ceilings so you don’t feel claustrophobic, large windows provide lots of natural lighting, great clear sounding stereo system, and multiple bathrooms and changing areas. And it’s brand new so it smells CLEAN, no sweaty odor here.
The Instructor: AJ Sousa is a phenom; google him. Quickly rose to the level of black belt, and I have personally seen him submit many high level jiujitsu fighters. He is an active competitor and a true technician. But more importantly, he is a GREAT coach. Those two roles often don’t combine well, but AJ does it effortlessly — He will be winning matches on his mat in competition and immediately run over to coach one of his student who is competing that same day, then jump back onto a mat for one of his own matches. He is passionate about what he does and it shows in the way that he trains and coaches his students. He is very creative and always coming up with fresh new techniques while also respecting the techniques that are fundamental to the sport. And he is able to break down extremely complex techniques (berimbolo anyone?) so that white belts are applying it effectively after a single class. Above all, AJ is a really GREAT guy. Everyone loves him, his attitude and his energy, and you will too.
That leads me to my last point: the vibe: Taking AJ’s lead, the guys at his gym are the friendliest, coolest, most down to earth guys you will meet in ANY gym, period. They will welcome you with open arms, even if you are just visiting from another school. And everyone will give you attention and show you all of the new moves they’re currently working on without holding anything back from «jiu-​jitsu spies.»
Whether you’re a beginner just looking to have fun or a seasoned vet, you will improve and have fun with AJ. Give it a try and I promise you will not be disappointed.

My 1^st time meeting and training with Aj Sousa/​staff was awesome. Everyone treated me as if I had been there a long time. It’s always great to have a freinds/​family feel. This place falls nothing short of that. The instructor AJ is top notch and his instructions are clear and precise. My game has greatly improved from his classes. Very excited about more to come and what i will learn every class. Very easy to learn from and he goes beyond what most others do to make sure you get it right.
The atmosphere of the gym is very relaxed and inviting. No pressure, no egos. Everyone there is very helpful from staff to other people there to train. Definitely not a run of the mill add water and stir type gym.
They also have a very wide range of scheduling to fit anyone’s needs. The new location is huge. Lots of room to be able to work on your game without tripping over other people. Also their scheduling and my hectic job schedule I can still manage 4 days of great training. If your looking for a great place to train with awesome instruction/​staff/​facility, you owe it to yourself to stop in and check it out.
