I’ve been training for 16 years. I moved to Wilmington a few months ago, joined up here, and I’m blown away by the instructor’s attention to detail. He is incredibly technical and breaks down moves to the micro movements in a way I’ve never seen before. If you want to learn and get good, this is the place to train.

I really enjoy training with Professor Johnathan and the training family at Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. If you are looking to better yourself mentally and physically I would highly recommend training at this academy. The Professor will push you to strive and be your best at this martial art as well as being prepared to defend yourself in difficult situations.
I started training here at the end of January and to this day have seen a dramatic change in my appearance and my attitude toward different situations. I have lost a total of 36 Lbs. and 6 inches in my waist line. I feel great and have

My son has been studying Jiu Jitsu for over 6 years and has made the most progress in the past 2 years at Uzcategui Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The large class size allows for a wide variety of training partners improving his ability to confidently face any competitor in competition. The no contract membership is incredibly attractive and provides me with the flexibility we need. For $30 more a month I get to use the inhouse gym and get my sweat on instead of just waiting for his class to be over. I am extremely happy with the success my son has had and the friendships I have gained with other parents

This gym has been amazing. First off, the facility is exceptional. Super clean and a full on gym with weights and everything. For someone fairly new to BJJ and new to the gym, it's been a great experience. Everyone has gone out of their way to introduce themselves and get to know you more. They've also been super patient with me when it comes to teaching, and that makes a huge difference. You feel like a part of a team from day one. The instructor, Jonathan, is a super cool guy and a great teacher.
Whether you're experienced or brand new to BJJ, Uzcategui is a great place to come check out.

I just joined the academy and Hope and Jonathon were and are very inviting. Having trained at different Jiu Jitsu schools around the country (a little here and there) these folks run a great program and the gym is top notch too. Unlike some schools I have attended everyone is friendly and Jonathan takes care of his students during the training sessions much more.so then some schools I have trained in. And yet they train hard! Very technical techniques and attention to detail...and having come from a Gracie background (even though I'm just a white belt in BJJ I have black belts in karate and taekwondo

I had a great time training at Uzcategui BJJ this morning. Black belt instructor Jonathan Uzcategui welcomed me to train in his beautiful gym today. The students were humble, skilled, and welcoming in the best possible way. If you find yourself living or traveling near Wilmington North Carolina, you owe it to yourself to stop in and train in a top notch facility with good people.

Love this gym! Family friendly and great place to learn. My kids love it, my husband loves it, and I love it! There's no pressure and you can go at your own pace. The professor is patient and loves to teach. As a working mom this is a perfect place to get some exercise, get out some frustration, and socialize. Kids are always welcome to hang out while you take a class.

Absolutely could not be happier that I choose Uzcategui BJJ as my academy to train at! After taking years away from bjj to pursue other competitive sporting ventures I had the desire to comeback and start training again but, finding the right school was my number one priority. Honestly, I knew the moment I walked in the door and was greeted by everyone with handshakes and positive attitudes that this was the place for me. The knowledge, method of instruction and professionalism is well above what you would expect from even a high level Jiu-Jitsu academy and the fact that the facility is always

World class Jiu Jitsu! One of the most welcoming training centers I've ever been to. The head instructor has a passion for teaching Jiu Jitsu with a strong attention to detail. The gym is amazing with everything you could possibility need to train Jiu Jitsu, MMA or just work on your overall fitness. The class I attended had women and kids alike! Skill levels varied from beginner to advance. If you are looking for a great place to get in shape and are tired of the big box gyms, definitely give this place a try. You will quickly realize that this place has great community and is a family environment
