“We train like a Family! We fight like a Team!
The slogan already says a lot about the environment! Much more than a gym, it's about being family. An expansion of our Brazilianness here in America! Here there are regular classes for adults, children and, now, a class only for women. Here there are quality seminars with today's champions and, now, Kids tournament. My son and I feel very comfortable at NATIVE.
They train like a family and fight like a team! NATIVE is great, the best BJJ gym
I had the privilege of competing against Felipe in the blue belt division at PBJJF this weekend and the skill that man possessed was awesome. You should be proud of the athlete you produced. Looking forward to stopping in one day.
