XMBJJ Self Defense Academy
Xequemate's primary focus is on the martial art of Jiu-Jitsu, rather than the sport. Jiu-Jitsu is a complete martial art that encompasses throws, striking, grappling, submissions, as well as weapons defense, disarming and retention. We offer classes for children, adults and executives. Competition is a great place to sharpen the combat sword.

Although Sport Jiu-Jitsu is only a subset of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, it provides a means to test yourself in a safe environment. We have a tested and proven competition team, headed by Professor William "Bill" Perez We offer Gracie Self Defense and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes to fit any schedule. Men, women and children.

One of the most noticeable benefits of training BJJ is the physical transformation that can happen. It is not uncommon to have students drop 20+ pounds during the first year of training. One of our members is down 45+ pounds in 2 years. The mental fortitude that is developed on the mats is an advantage felt in every aspect of life.

I’ve been to other gyms in NY, NJ, and scoped out a bunch of gyms here in Jacksonville. I signed up on day one after checking out other places and telling other gyms let me sleep on it. That means a lot. To sign up day one.
Culture here is great. People are great. Safety is number one.
I would be happy at another gym but this place is special. Because I’ve learned more here than at other places. I’m more than happy here.
Bonus: “growth mindset” is stressed here rather than ego driven mindset.

Amazing, family like environment. Both, professor Bill and Alex, are great instructors. Professor Bill has an amazing passion for what he does, unbelievable patience and care with kids and adults, and incredible energy that cannot but inspire you to become better every day. Higher belt students are very friendly and willing to help you learn the techniques while rolling with them. I became addicted to BJJ and will practice it for the rest of my life.

This gym has great mats, excellent instruction and a friendly/clean environment to learn Ju Jitsu. The training partners are very good to work with and after training they turn on music so you can spar with your classmates or you can skip sparring with no pressure.

Big place, friendly environment, family oriented and inspiring culture! The instructors are good and very accommodating. This place is not about your membership fees like other places. They offered free classes for us to try it out. After my first FREE class I wanted to signup already! Check out this place ASAP!

I love training here. Bobby is one of the most laid back, knowledgeable, kind people I know. Not only is he a beast on the mats, he's an amazing teacher. There's a lot to be said for that. That's an art in itself!
