Paulo Ribeiro Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Our son Zachary is thoroughly enjoying the Jiu-Jitsu instruction from Professor Paulo and Natalie. I especially appreciate their awareness of individual skill levels and maturity and take seriously the job of making sure each of the younger students is safe and getting individual attention to grasp the techniques.

I would definitely recommend them to others with children interested in trying out the sport. Brilliant setup for my son who loves Jui Jitsu. The training and self-defense techniques are taught in a manner that he can understand at 8yrs old. Professor is always attentive and supporting the kids to improve and grow in confidence.

My son joined a few months ago and I’m happy to report that he loves going back there, considering he was not a fan of all previous activities that he had attended. The lessons are fun and entertaining.I like the fact that they have coaches on the mats to offer personal attention to the kids.

Our family has been attending this gym for two months now and it has exceeded our initial expectations. My son has loved the kids class. Our daughter has been gaining a lot of confidence in the women's-only class. My wife has doubled up and is training in both the women's-only and the adult class. Part of why we were so quick to sign up was how great the other students were.
If you are considering taking a class, do it!

This place is legit. Unlike the other martial arts places, Paulo and Natalie teach REAL WORLD defense and combat. They prepare you for actual real scenarios like you're likely to encounter in the real world. My 6 year old daughter loves coming here and I love that she's learning how to defend against bullies, how to avoid dangerous situations, etc. Paulo is clearly a master of his craft and his wife Natalie is amazing with the kids and well versed with special needs and special circumstances. We've tried others. This is worth the hour drive.

I was in Naples FL for business, and was looking for a good place to continue my jiujitsu practice while traveling. Found the Paulo Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu academy and it was great. Great atmosphere of collaboration and learning, everyone protecting each other and giving tips and directions to the beginners. Paulo is a knowledgeable and welcoming instructor. Recommended. Ivan.

I stopped in for a Friday noon class. Everybody, including Paulo, was very welcoming. The instruction was top notch and the students were very knowledgeable and experienced. If you are in the Naples/Marco Island area and looking for a place to train, I highly suggest you visit Paulo's gym.
