Amazing gym! Amazing people. If you want high level Jiu Jitsu training for combat/self defense or sport this is the place to be. VERY CLEAN facility. Excellent instruction. Great for children and adults.

This is the best academy in Palm Beach County, period. A lot of black belts, and Professor’s Gabriel and Gae are world class athletes and instructors. There are classes for everyone. I haven’t seen this complete of an academy in town in quite some time. A+

I’ve trained some kind of martial arts since 1983. The many black belt instructors and training partners are second to none in South Florida. All staff and respectful and excellent training partners for my children, my fiancé and myself. Highly recommended. No egos just doing the right thing for everyone in the school. Please come in and try it. I promise you won’t regret it. Not to mention the bathrooms have CLEAN showers, you can schedule private self defense sessions. Truly happy to be here. This place is unparalleled in my 40 years of training

Great instructors who give detailed explanations and demonstrations. Provides one on one instructions as needed. Courteous, friendly, definitely clean and safe environment especially with covid.

Dr. Guy and the staff at Jupiter Self Defense are truly outstanding Jiu Jitsu Instructors. They take their time and work with each and every student in a non-threatening and testosterone free environment. The primary focus is on Heilo Gracie Self Defense Techniques as opposed to sport Jiu Jitsu. Therefore, students learn real world skills that help them deal with all aspect of life including the unexpected. I highly recommend Jupiter Self Defense to anyone looking to learn new skills in a warm, welcoming, safe and caring environment. My entire family trains there including my wife and two young children. We all love it and look forward to each lesson!!!!

Jupiter Self Defense is truly exceptional. Dr. Guy and his staff provide essential self defense strategies that have increased confidence in my children, spouse and me. The instructors incorporate physics into their lessons which helps students better understand the importance of a move and how to accurately apply the technique. Our two kids have been taking classes for over a year. I attend the women’s self defense class and we bring it all together with the family class on Saturday mornings. We are grateful to the staff and students at Jupiter Self Defense. It is a family we are proud to be a part of.

With the best and most attentive coaches. Best Jiu Jitsu and self defense academy for sure.

It has allowed our children to grow in self defense, self awareness and respect for others. A great environment to grow with, I highly recommend Jupiter Self Defense for Children and Adults.

I have been attending womens classes for about 5 years and the family, Dr. Guy & Nohra, and all people that are part of the team are amazing. They truly put in lots of energy and passion into helping other people with the knowledge to protect oneself. It gives confidence to women in this unpredictable world. I enjoy it immensely and it is pleasure to be around such wonderful people.

I have been training Gracie jujitsu for over 20 years. I have trained at another local school and also at the main Academy in Miami. By far Dr Guy has been my favorite professor to learn and train with. All the black belts at Jupiter self-defense are world class. The facility is amazing. Mrs. Nohra is a ray of sunshine that really adds a wonderful balance and family connection to the Academy. You cannot find a better place or more knowledgeable Teaching anywhere.

I’ve been training Gracie jujitsu with Dr. guy since I was 6 I am now 13. It is a true family environment, you feel welcomed and loved when you enter the door. Mrs Nora is the sweetest person you could meet and she works hard to keep the place clean. This place is truly amazing. Gracie jujitsu has changed my ways of life like when I’m in public I am very aware of my surroundings.

Absolutely the best in the area! Welcoming and family friendly atmosphere. Instructors are approachable and patient. They love what they do which is what sets them apart from any other facility in the area! Excellent school!

My kids attended classes at this school and their experience was outstanding! The instructor was extremely skilled and knowledgeable, but what was even better was his ability to relate to the kids. The class was not only successful for them in learning skills, but even better that they had an absolute blast !! All of the staff was extremely welcoming and encouraging. I would highly recommend!!!

Absolutely love this place! My son has been training here since he was 8 years old. The confidence and discipline that he has gained is simply amazing. Dr Guy and Mrs. Nohra are wonderful people. They are so welcoming and truly care about each and every person that walks through the door. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Do you want to get fit? Do you want to learn how to defend yourself and your family? Are you a little nervous about training in a combat sport? I had the same desires and concerns, and the best thing I did was go to Jupiter Self Defense. A good friend who is a former special warfare operator told me to forget everywhere else and just go see Dr. Guy. The instructors are excellent and they take great care to make sure that everyone is safe. Jiu Jitsu is challenging, but the instructors and senior students make absolutely certain that you learn at your own pace. Starting Jiu Jitsu can be intimidating. I was uneasy when I started. But learning Jiu Jitsu from Dr. Guy and the other instructors there was a great decision, and I encourage you to give it a try.

Jupiter Self Defense is one of the best things to happen to my family in recent memory. Its state of the art facility allows beginners and advanced students to train and learn in the safest environment possible. I would rate Dr Guy Scuderi’s passion for teaching and expertise in Jiu Jitsu higher than 5 stars, but it doesn’t seem to let me. My 12 year old loves taking classes and doesn’t even realize he is learning self defense skills and becoming more confident. He just likes rolling with his friends. I found out your never too old to try something new and have been training with Dr. Guy as well. The variety of classes works great with any schedule. I would highly recommend Jupiter Self Defense to anyone who wants to have fun learning Jiu Jitsu.

An absolutely amazing school. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and inspiring. The space is beautiful and the clientele are supportive and friendly. JSD embodies all I could ever ask for. Please add more women’s classes!

I have been training classic Gracie jujitsu with Dr. guy since I was eight years old. Dr. guy and Miss Nohra have the most amazing school. At 15 years old now I feel very confident in protecting myself. Training the Gracie system has the most amazing self Defense program ever.

If you ever thought of trying Jiu-Jitsu or if you want to take your practical understanding of self-defense to greater levels you owe it to yourself to visit Jupiter Self Defense. Dr. Guy and his family have created a very welcoming and supportive culture where you will learn classic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and at the same time become a much better version of yourself. If you want to up-level your game on all fronts take up Jui-Jitsu and give Jupiter Self Defense a try. 👍

Incredible attention to detail, a challenging learning environment for all category of student, from beginner, to intermediate, to advanced, to professional fighter....no stone left unturned when it comes to elite level instruction. Competitive yet conducive for growth... real world self defense situations a priority.

AMAZING school, AMAZING staff, AMAZING instructors! AMAZING place all around! My children have been with this AMAZING school for the past 4 years and love it! They have more self awareness, and more confidence over all!

My kids have been doing jiu jitsu with Dr Guy off and on for years. They are fantastic people and amazing instructors. Very professional and respectful of every individual that steps through their doors.

World class instructors and an awesome facility.

The best in the business. These guys do it because they absolutely love it. Thats what makes them the best

Great family run studio! We have been a part of the Scuderi Jupiter Self Defense Family for almost 5 years. Our kids are learning discipline and building their self confidence.

If you are looking for a top-notch self-defense school look no further. Learn from some of the very best in a great comfortable atmosphere.

Best gym in Palm Beach County

Great school for self defense. Ju-jitsu is an amazing skill that everyone should learn. Plus, it is a great work out and seems like endless learning. Dr Guy is amazing and has a great passion for teaching.

If I could leave 10 stars I would!!! This is a world class facility ran by an amazing family. Incredible instructors, incredible staff, incredible facility.

Dr. Scuderi teaching Gracie/Valente self defense should be enough, but Ill add, the format of instruction, staff, and facility are all outstanding. Everyone who trains here is super friendly and makes you feel like youre part of something special. Good for the soul.

Have been training here for over 3 years, amazing staff and top level experience from all the instructors, especially Guy. Good to see the growth in the kids program as well.

Amazing learning facility, great group of people to train with. Very clean and well taken care of also!!!

If i lived within 30 miles of this academy, this would be my first choice. Had the pleasure and honor of attending a seminar here. The integrity, discipline, and technique is remarkable. Im forever a Jiu Jitsu student, whether, sports or self defense. If you want some traditional, effective, and right down to the roots Gracie style BJJ, along with some great striking, this is the place to be. Thank you to all the students who received my friend and I, and special thanks to Professor Dr Gaetano. OSS!

I have known David for a long time. He is a great instructor.

If you are reading these reviews you have a definite interest in pursuing self defense for yourself or a loved one or hopefully both. In my 31 years of training I have yet to encounter an instructor and a family that is more passionate and selfless about enriching the lives of others than the Scuderi family. Dr. Guy Scuderi is not only one of the highest ranking Valente Brothers Black Belts in the country, a school that teaches the classic Helio Gracie Self Defense Jiu Jitsu curriculum, but an expert surgeon and medical professional, no to mention other interests all catered to the advancement of others. The school’s website can give you all of the information you need. But the information that I can give you is very valuable in other ways. Myself and 3 of my 4 children have been a part of the Jupiter Self Defense family for 6 years. My 3 yr old daughter will start the Little Champs program next year. My 5 & 4 year old are currently in that amazing program. My 11 yr old daughter has been training for 6 years now and my comfort level with her current abilities, confidence and situational awareness exists because of Dr. Scuderi and his family. Dr. Scuderi’s wonderful wife and both of their very talented daughters have played a monumental role in my daughter’s development on and off the mats. What is that worth to you? How could I deprive my children of character development in a safe environment with a family who continues to invest their heart and soul into our family and every single member of the Jupiter Self Defense family. Please take the time to visit the school, meet its members and make the difference in your life and the lives of your loved ones. The Scuderi family is doing that daily and has been longer than they would ever let on.

If you are looking for true Gracie Jujitsu for the whole family this is the place. They are very welcoming.

In total transparency, I’m one of the co-instructors here at Jupiter self defense. I am not reviewing the school, which I am a part of and would come across as biased. I’m reviewing the man, my teacher and my friend, Dr. Guy Scuderi.Guy teaches Jūjitsu because he loves jūjitsu. Not only does he love it, he believes in it, and that’s so important. He’s not selling you anything, he’s sharing his faith in something he knows will save you or your child’s life. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone ask him a question about a technique and his response be “that’s not gonna work, if my daughter can’t do it, you could do it because you’re big and strong, but that’s not jiujitsu!”“Jiujitsu is made for the little “guy”, or girl...or child.”, he says. That’s what he says, and in doing so he is keeping his teachings honest to the mission statement of Jūjitsu, to help weaker people defend themselves against larger stronger people.That’s who guy is. Someone who puts other people’s challenges into his supercomputer of a mind and comes up with a real working solution, not with the intention to sell you a product, but to help you grow and better yourself in a dangerous world. And if it doesn’t work for his kid, he doesn’t teach it to yours.With that guiding directive, they made this gorgeous facility for all of us to share. I hope you try it, and I hope to see you on the mat!-Mike

Incredible studio, everyone there is extremely welcoming to beginners and have excellent skill. Treat everyone there like family.

If you want to train at a place that cares for you and your personal development I would highly recommend this family. They treat you like you belong and the caring continues outside the training. The self-defense training is the best around. Try it and you will never leave.

I moved 2000 miles away from St. John US Virgin Islands to Jupiter Florida just to train at Jupiter self defense under Professor Dr. Gaetano Scuderi. The people here are so welcoming and friendly youll fit right in! The Jiu jitsu taught here is the REAL Hélio Gracie Jiu-jitsu. This is the nicest (and newest) Jiu-jitsu academy in the country hands down. I feel safe, welcome, and I am learning things that are truly important about self defense. Truly the best thing about the school is the mindset and philosophy taught here. Jiu jitsu is way a life for me, Ive been practicing the art since I was three and grew up with a signed poster of Hélio Gracie in my living room. Jupiter self defense feels like a home away from home to me. Come check out one of our 27 fundamental lessons taught on Monday or Wednesday at 6:30pm! Jupiter self defense also offers Advanced, Womens, Kids, and Striking classes! See you there!

David is a great instructor. I recommend him highly.

Been training jiu jitsu in the area for 15 years. Dr. Guy is hands down the most technical teacher for self defense jiu jitsu within 50 miles. I switched to his tutelage as a brown belt and my skills have soared. I know most of the teachers in the area. They are all fantastic for sport based jiu jitsu. But if you want to become harder to kill, and learn the necessary skills to survive a street fight where there are no rules, no time limits, and no referees to stop the fight... then there is no better place in the area to train.

Jupiter Self Defense is a friendly non-competitive school where everyone is there to learn and grow. Guy Scuderi is the most passionate self defense Jiu-Jitsu instructor I have ever met. He is truly dedicated to teaching every one of his students the most effective way to defend themselves against an attacker. Each and every lesson is about using Jiu-Jitsu the way it was meant to be used.There are many many places in Jupiter where you can learn Jiu-Jitsu if you want to win a medal but Jupiter Self Defense is the only place you can truly learn Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense.

The gym is very clean and state of the art. I was impressed by the technical focus the instructor emphasises at this location. The art of ju jitsu is about technique over strength, and I appreciate a school that can equip students to be ready with the tools to defend themselves in a spar or a street fight.

Excellent school, I highly recommend it for all ages to learn Jiu Jitsu!

When looking for an ego free training facility, this is the place. After ten years of training jiu jitsu this is the place I call home.

We are so lucky to have J.U.M.P. Jiu Jitsu in our community. Our two girls are learning real self defense. I feel this is very important, especially for girls. Dr. Guy is a talented teacher, who keeps the kids focused and learning while they have fun.

Best in the business! Dave is awesome!

Great experience and very knowledgeable !

Me and kids loves this place. Its a family oriented program that teaches you good discipline, self defense and confidence. Dr. Guy is not only a great black belt, but an excellent professor and human being. If you want to learn real Helio Gracie Jiu Jitsu, this is the perfect place.

My son (10) and I have family near here and decided to join for a week on a trip to florida. We dont live here but love self defense jiu jitsu and I found this on google searching around. I messaged the sensei on his website and he very quickly called me back. He explained about his school. I went in to check out the classes. Everyone was very welcoming and nice to me. Dr Guy (the head Sensei) was very clear with us before drilling and sparring to go easy on each other so no one would get hurt.My son went to the kids class the same night. He loved it so much. I was very impressed with the kids class even more than the adults class. Dr. Guy has his daughters and wife helping him at the dojo. It is very family oriented, and his wife signed me up for one week. I would have done more but we are only here one week more.This is the self defense style jiu jitsu, very old school Helio Gracie Style with weapons defense too.Very pleased to find this gem in Florida.One more thing. It isnt really a tournament school and the techniques are not described with this gets so many points, and this gets this many points. But if you are looking for more self defense, this is the place for you.

My grandchildren attend JUMP - Valente Brothers Jiu Jitsu in Jupiter, Palm Beach County. They teach Classic Helio Gracie Self Defense Jiu Jitsu, as it was intended to be taught. The instruction at JUMP is EXCEPTIONAL and the camaraderie in this school isnt seen any where else. I highly recommend JUMPs children and adult programs. You wont find this quality anywhere else !

Great school all around!!! 5 stars!!!
