Marcelo is an excellent teacher, he has the skills and drive as well as the history. Not only is the teacher very experienced but the other students make you feel welcome at any level and the gym itself is clean and a cool place to be. I will recommend this place to anyone who has the drive to better themselves and learn BJJ.

Trained here on vacation 3x, very friendly towards visitors. They go hard, but are not out to hurt you or anything. Students here have great fundamentals. Very positive environment, a great mix of serious training but having fun at the same time.

My son has been training In JuJitsu and other martial arts for several years. I have had the chance to observe 4-5 various schools and instructors in the area. Training at The Armory under direction of Marcelo Cohen is the highest level of Brazilian Jujitsu we have found anywhere. My sons skills have EXPLODED in BJJ with the unique way Marcelo & August interact with and teach the kids. There is no other school where instruction is given everyday by the #2 ranked BJJ fighter IN THE WORLD. Being a Teacher, doesn’t make you a good Fighter. Being a good Fighter, doesn’t make you a good Teacher. Prof. Marcelo Cohen is both and this is extremely rare to find. If you want your child to learn the right way, in the right environment, this is the only place in Palm Beach County and maybe the state. After watching for one year, I joined myself. It is an intense workout but the feeling of progression is incredible. The classes for Adults are so welcoming and they bring new people into the family with open arms. I am very grateful for this place!

I just began training. I have limitations from older injuries and my lack of fitness the last few years. They are working around those limitations. I am enjoying the atmosphere. Marcelo really knows his art and brings a positive experience to people of all levels. Prior to signing up, I went and spoke to Marcelo to discuss my limitations. He understood and told me he would work with my situation. That meant a lot to me because as the sole provider of my household I must be able to work. Pushing to hard and causing an injury would not be good. I have only had 4 classes but I am really enjoying the experience and the people running the show are helpful and kind. If your interested in learning how to defend yourself, the art of jujitsu or simply getting in better physical condition then I would recommend joining the armory. There are all age groups and families. Brazilian Jujitsu was modified to help a smaller or weaker individual to overcome a stronger and better conditioned individual in defending from an attack. Its a science. It works. Its Amazing to see a small person subdue a larger stronger person using these techniques. Enjoying the experience and would bet that you do to.

The Armory is a great fitness gym and is a wealth of knowledge for physical well being. Whether you want to get back into shape or train for a triathlon, the staff are friendly, motivating and knowledgeable. Great place to train and work out with like minded people! You will be pushed here, you will get better!

I dont recommend this place at all.Marcelo is very moody. You cant be yourself around him. He doesnt teach enough. He is to busy fighting with others instead of teaching Try a different place.
