I recently joined Double Five Jiu Jitsu for self-defence training, and the experience has been outstanding from day one. Master Andre is an incredible instructor — patient, knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve, regardless of experience level.

What really stood out to me was the welcoming atmosphere created not only by the instructors but also by the students. The brown and black belt students are extremely supportive and always willing to help teach techniques, explain movements, and guide newer members during training. It creates a positive environment where you feel comfortable learning and improving at your own pace.

I’ve been training at this academy for almost three years. When I first started, I knew no one and knew nothing about Jiu-Jitsu. In my time here, I’ve become part of a great community and have grown into a good Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Everyone on the mats is welcoming and kind, and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. I highly encourage anyone who is thinking about starting Jiu-Jitsu to come train here.

Double Five is an amazing gym to experience Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I started out with a couple-day trial and signed up instantly. Being trained by a world champion like the owner, Professor Andre, is a huge advantage that you won’t find at many other gyms. You can easily search his name to see his gold-medal credentials. The higher belts this gym has produced are also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful during class. While I originally joined to lose weight—and have already lost 15 pounds in two months—I’m staying long-term for the incredible community and the valuable life lessons I've learned along the way. Highly recommended!
