XL VCB Martial Arts Academy

"My daughters were brand new to jiujitsu and, upon walking in the door, immediately found a safe space to learn. We were greeted with kindness and patience and i really appreciate Xingu's coaching style. He is calm yet firm and able to keep their attention (and motivation)throughout the class. When we attended our first tournament, we felt so supported. Everyone we met here have become friends because Kristine and Xingu have built a family space for learning and fun. You should definitely try them out."

"Aside from Xingú’s ability to effectively teach students of all ages and skill levels, it is a true family environment here. This is NOT a “belt factory” where students get (and pay for) new belts every few months. Students are properly trained by an instructor that knows and shares his appreciation for the actual arts. My son and I love it here and happily recommend it to everyone!"

"Professionally operated and well organized. The studio is very clean and well kept. Xingu is a very good instructor. I recommend XL VCB to anyone thinking about learning Ju Jitsu, Escrima and/or Capoeira."

"I really enjoyed training with Xingú for jiu jitsu. I had no idea what I was doing when I joined but Xingú was great at teaching me the fundamentals. The environment and other students were really welcoming and helped me through the movements. Not only was it always a really good workout, it built my confidence!"

"Best Jiujitsu/Capoiera/Eskrima place in the nation! The owner is head instructor and awards people on their hard work, their skill level and respectful personality, not their monetary value. They don’t try to get you to pay for all the extras (new belts, new stripes, testing fee, etc). They don’t pressure you to compete in every competition. They honestly care about each student and their families, the whole school hangs together like a giant family. They also have so many times to train. Our whole family trains there and we all love it!!!"
