I wanted to try BJJ for the first time while I was in Fort Lauderdale and based on the reviews decided to give Beach BJJ a go. From the start you are made to feel welcome and at ease and I had a really good time. Iβll definitely be back and can highly recommend Beach BJJ for anyone wanting to try BJJ or to get a session in ππ½πͺπ½
1 star bc when I pulled up on em yesterday 4/14/21, there was a big for least sign in the window. They mustve closed resently, a much of equipment was in there including the mats and all
I visited Beach BJJ with my coach and fellow training partners. Upon arrival we were welcomed with open arms and were immediately treated like family. The instruction and techniques taught were clear, concise, and effective. My rolls with both upper and lower belts were challenging and educational, but most importantly FUN! I learned so many new things and I canβt wait to apply them to future rolls. I definitely look forward to coming back and training at Beach BJJ any time Iβm in South Florida!
Amazing instructor and students. Only able to go for one class while I was visiting the area but it was definitely a world class experience. If you need somewhere to train, would highly encourage joining this team.
What an amazing night, loved the vibe and the training here. Great techniques and dedicated to teaching. Definitely worth the drive from Palm Beach. Thank you for having me. Oss!
A great place to train. I trained here during an open mat while visiting the area and it was awesome. First off, there arenβt many gyms holding open mats on Friday night and if there are itβs RARE to have multiple black and brown belts on the mat at once. But thatβs the case at Beach Bjj. Second, everyone here is cool, they welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like apart of the team. And last, they are talented, tough and very helpful. The instructor pulled me aside after our roll and showed me a sweet little half guard pass. Great experience overall, Iβll definitely be back when Iβm in town.
Great place to train. Full of talent and exceptional coaches. The gym is clean and the culture is welcoming. Highly recommend ππΌ
I dropped in for an open mat session while visiting Florida recently. Everyone was incredibly positive and welcoming. I had some great rolls with some very talented guys. Canβt wait to come back. 100% would recommend this place
Great place to train if youre in the Pompano beach area. Welcoming boutique gym with great vibes and high level. Check it out!
Great school! Great students and coaches . Deff recommend to stop by and train there
Was in town for work and dropped in during professor Shawnβs class and the open mat. The staff and students were extremely welcoming and shared some new techniques with me. I would highly recommend if you live in the area as this will be the school I joined if I move here.
Great experience! And really informative instructor, who makes sure you understand what your learning! And great rolling
Great place for the kids to train! My sons love it, they never complain about the 5 days a week training
Excellent place to train. Classes have a good mix of belts, mats are super clean, lots of class times to choose from. Instructors are very welcoming and teach solid fundamentals. Training here has improved my game. Will be coming back next time Im here on vacation.
What a great academy! I visited the academy on my holiday and felt super welcome the minute I entered the door. Great world class teaching, nice clean mats and a lot of good people to roll with! It seemed that many students in this academy are pretty active with their training, so if you want to improve your game this is the place to do it! Even got to roll with Mr. Popovitch! :)
Excellent martial arts gym with great coaches. Friendly atmosphere. Certainly a center of excellence. Congratulations.
Great place to train. Full of talent and exceptional coaches. The gym is clean and the culture is welcoming. Highly recommend
I was sent to FL for a work project and looked to find a place to train. I called ahead to Beach BJJ to check if I could drop in and spoke with Robert who was incredibly welcoming and helpful! When I got to the gym I met the head instructor AJ Sousa, again, very welcoming and nice. His teaching style is detailed and down to earth. Training included warm up drills, practicing technique and live rolls. The gym is kept clean and seems to have a great culture. Looking forward to training here more during my trips to the Fort Lauderdale area!
Canβt say enough good things about Rob and his crew! I was in town for the day, reached out and they went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Tough rolls and great instruction. Hope to be back soon!!
Everytime I travel I try to stop at a Jiu Jitsu school to train for a class. I can definitely say this school had the most welcoming environment Ive been in yet. Everyone was very humble and made me feel right at home. Very good instruction and a highly skilled team. I highly recommend taking a visit to Beach Bjj.
Really clean gym full of nice people. Class was very informative and all the rolls were great!
What a great place to have your kids learn! To begin with, all kids should learn jiu jitsu. Here, the owners have done a great job keeping the class sizes small enough that each child gets individual attention. The instructors are patient, accomplished, and skilled teachers. And itsactually AFFORDABLE!
I recently moved to Texas from Florida. I have been searching endlessly for a BJJ gym like AJ and Robertβs to no avail. We miss it there and my son loved it from day 1. The training is incredible for adults and kids and personalized for each individual. BJJ focused and not MMA focused like so many other gyms around. If I could have packed them up to move, I would have!
Atmosphere: So you want to train BJJ? How about training with a freaking MULTI-TIME World Champ?!?!?! Sounds like a tough-guy place? Not at all... feels like a second home. The team is like a family, with people from all different walks of life, and everyone just helps you get better. Super-friendly and helpful environment for kids and adults.Instruction: Fantastic, detailed, and attentive; for everyone from a beginner to a pro fighterFacility: Clean and pristine. New mats and equipment, locker rooms, showers.
Ive visited this gym a handful of times and its always a great experience. Every time I come to visit family in the Fort Lauderdale area I make sure to come in and train with the GFTeam. The instructors are selfless and always make sure to share top notch technique. I definitely recommend stopping by this gym if youre visiting and making it your home gym if youre on the hunt for one. Cheers!
A fantastic place to train! Some killers there! I am from out of state and needed a place to train while on vacation and this is the best place in all of Fort Lauderdale! AJ IS A BEAST!
An excellent gym with a great group of guys, what more could you want? They have a safe environment and quality instruction from a champion. I definitely recommend training here if you get the chance! I will be back!
Visiting from NY and needed a place to train. These guys welcomed me on the phone, greeted me when I arrived. Experienced a great workout in a positive environment with solid instruction. Thank you AJ and Martial Arts family!!!
This place is great for beginners. They are very knowledgeable and take the time with all new students. You need to look no further then this place. I highly recommend this place.
I started my daughter Alina at Beach JJ about 7 months ago. The coaches Rob, Jordan, AJ, Alex are all amazing...They make sure the students perform every single aspect of BJJ the right way...I highly recommend them!
Really polite and great staff and teachers. The first time I went, they made me feel welcomed. They are the best at teaching the art of jiu jitsu. Highly recommended.
If you need to get into shape this is the place to go. You will get the workout of your life and start to burn the calories. I started here as a very over weight person and by the first month I was already down 20 pounds. I have now been working out for a year and look like a completely different person. I owe my life to this place for saving me.
Excellent instructors!The school might be smaller than some but the program is superb.My son Ian has really learned a lot here and his self confidence has risen tremendously.I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn self defense or excel in the sport of Jiujitsu!Thanks to Robert, Alex, AJ and the rest of the team, Ian will be a Jiujitsu practioner for life!
Got a chance to drop in for a couple training sessions. Very welcoming which can be tough for an out of town drop in. Had a great time and will definitely be back when Iβm in town.
I love training at BeachBjj because, the environment is clean and energetic! It keeps me focused on my obtainable goals. The advantage is efficient use of my time. But the real value is I stay fit training at BeachBjj!
Down form Orlando for the week. Popped in for some training. Professors A.J. and Robert are fantastic. Rolled with multiple members and everyone was challenging.
Top notch instruction and great hard rolls. World class talent.
An amazing experience, everyone was extremely welcoming and I learned plenty of awesome new technics I can take back to London with me. Was great sparring with the guys and I learnt loads. A big thanks to AJ, Shaun and Robert, itβs an honour to train with you and I will be back soon! Osss ππΌ ππΌ
Be careful!! You may call and cancel membership after your contract is up and yet they will continue to charge your card automatically. I finally had to cancel my credit card to stop them from charging me two months after my contract was up. Enjoyed my time while being there but what a pain and shady way to make some extra money on their part.
Beach bjj is really one of the top jiu jitsu gyms in The Ft. Lauderdale/Pompano area. The instructors there are extremely nice and helpful and the level of instruction there is world class. From the world class competitors on the mats every day to the countless years of experience that many of the members and instructors have, as well as the friendly family atmosphere make this gym the best gym Iβve trained at. I have been to three or four gyms before this and have had to leave because of relocating, but Beach BJJ sits at the top of that list for sure!
Only the best place to train in Florida! Top notch coaching and team mates!
Not a fan of big gyms where u are lost in a sea of faces. Quality over Quantity. Hidden Treasure, high level Jiu Jitsu.
Great teachers and students of all belt levels and competition status!I have trained at many gyms on the east coast and when I moved to soflo I did a lot of research looking for a high level bjj gym that will help me be the best I can be as fast as possible. I am happy Beach Bjj is my home!!!
Amazing Jiu Jitsu Training Facility located near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to truly explain each process. Beach BJJ is a great place for kids to learn not only jiu-jitsu but also self control! By far one of the cleanest GFT affiliated facilities in the area.
World class instruction at the academy, if your in Pompana Beach Florida this is the place to train.Incredibly welcoming and friendly group of people.Thankyou GF TEAM FTL!!!JakobPedigo Submission Fighting
I was visiting Ft Lauderdale and wanted to do a bit of training while I was on vacation. I was welcomed by super friendly staff and was blown away from the caliber of the school. Amazing place to train if want to get in shape, learn BJJ (fast),or become a champion!Mark
Great coaching staff. amazing gym. These guys are my second family.
Best gym Ive ever been to with the best training.
Great atmosphere, great training. Definitely a high-level BJJ school
As a newcomer to brazilian jiu jitsu, AJ and Jordan made me feel welcome from the first 5 mintues. Instruction is personalized, staff is helpful, and their price is great for the quality of this place.I look forward to growing with these guys.
Love the vibe and the atmosphere, I just left the gym after 2 hours of world class Jiu Jitsu. High level jiu jitsu and at the same time preserving the family enviroment.... Highly recomend the school.
Friendly place to not only get in shape, but also learn a really effective martial art, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Pablo, Jay and Fred are great people, you will be glad you gave them a try...
If you are looking for high quality training, general fitness, or just an extra curricular activity you cannot pass up training at the popovitch center. They provide excellent knowledge, training, and high level of practitioners to teach and train with. That is including world champion Pablo popovitch. For your self or with a family they always treat you like family as a regular member or even someone stopping to train for the day. I have had the pleasure of training with this team for 13+ years they always have something new to show as well consistently produce high level of practitioners in jiu jitsu. No doubt you will love the school, as well as the friends you will make for a lifetime.
Not just Jiu Jitsu, but a second Home and Family.In the short time my daughter has been training here, her skill has improved in leaps and bounds. Shes already taken first place at two different competitions, bringing home multiple medals and even a Ninja sword.The most amazing thing, however, is that the greatness of this center does not end with the skills they can train. Its in that they care about their students. That they make you feel immediately comfortable. There are very few people I would trust to leave my children in the care of; I have no qualms taking them here. Their instructor, AJ Sousa, is at the top of his game but clearly has a heart for raising up children to have a successful future in Jiu Jitsu as well.At some point or another, three of my kids were all enrolled in Jiu Jitsu. Although only one has decided to stick with the sport, the gym and its instructors have continued to treat all of us like extended family, always asking the other two how they are doing when we come in for our daughters classes. They also did a fantastic job working with our child who is diagnosed with Autism. Before that point, he had not been able to participate in any extra curricular activities. We will never forget how gracious this gym was to him during his interest in the sport and beyond.My husband was so impressed with the kid classes and the atmosphere, that he signed up to train as well (in the adult classes of course). He experienced the same benefits my children had--and more. It was as though he had walked into a room of old friends. Every one that trains here is very welcoming of any new comers and friendly and relaxed with one another. Its a great way to get in a work out, learn new things, and unwind--in the company of what will soon become one of the closest knit group of friends you have ever been a part of.And although they have managed to create such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the level of training is unparalleled by any other gym we have scouted. This is a gym for someone who really wants to get better at their game--someone willing to put in the hard work and sweat it takes to be their best. Everything you accomplish here will be earned. There are no handouts. Just a good time, with good people, and exceptional training.
I first visited Team Popovitch in 2011 while in Florida for a business trip. I had been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 5+ years at that time and I wasnt sure what to expect at a World Champions gym. I want to let everyone know that this is one of the best academies that I have ever visited.Professor Pablo Popovitch is one of the nicest people Ive met in the course of my Jiu Jitsu travels. He and all of his instructors hold very structured classes and give all students (including visitors) personal attention. On top of this all of his students represented him very well in both skill and attitude towards others. They all made me feel like family.This all being said I have since visited his academy on four other occasions and am making it a point to make it down to Florida at least once or twice a year to train at his school. If you live in the area or are just visiting, and are looking for both great Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and great atmosphere, you must check out this school.
Good group of guys!
Amazing place and even better people!
Yay!
