“Michael is my FAVORITE instructor! very knowledgeable, extremely professional and fun!. I met him in 2013 and I am very grateful for being one of his students. He makes you exercise with intention, focusing on alignment and building a strong practice. He helps you understand everything that is behind any specific yoga asana or martial arts move, paying attention to every detail in your technique that will make your practice more efficient and meaningful. He will constantly challenge you to become a better version of yourself. Michael is full of resources and there is always something new to learn from him in every class!“

“My son joined this dojo at just 4 years old, and over two years later (he’s now 6.5), I couldn’t be more proud of his journey. From earning his white belt to advancing to yellow and now orange—two graduations later—he’s grown tremendously under the guidance and discipline of Sensei Carol and her team. This dojo is refreshingly no-frills, with the team focusing on what truly matters: teaching children kindness, patience, self-awareness, and respect.

Beyond being a place to train, this dojo feels like family. Sensei even provides aftercare pick-up from school, which has been a huge support in my son’s development. I wholeheartedly recommend this dojo to anyone interested in karate, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, or more. It’s a fantastic environment where kids can thrive!“

“Dear Professor Pedro and Eric,

Thank you for welcoming me so warmly as a visitor from Gracie University Gracie Decatur in Atlanta. I had the pleasure of attending the Saturday class starting at 11, and I was truly impressed by the quality of instruction and the material we covered. It was an amazing experience.

Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu is an exceptional school with a fantastic culture, dedicated to teaching and practicing true Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for street self-defense. I am incredibly grateful to the Valente brothers and to Eric, the brown belt who was kind enough to spend time with a visiting blue belt.

Thank you once again for such a memorable and inspiring visit!“

“Last Thursday, July 14, my car had a flat tire at the door of the Kogeki dojo when I was on my way to the airport to catch my flight to Madrid. Mr. Santaella saw me and came out of the dojo selflessly to help me. We didn't know each other before. He helped me. and changed the wheel of the car so that I could continue my trip and not miss the flight.Mr. Santaella is a magnificent person who did not hesitate for a second to help me.Thank you thank you thank you!!!“
