First Order of Jiu-Jitsu

"The BEST! We are so lucky to have found this dojo. Coach Tarzan is an exceptional human being and incredibly passionate about teaching, not only Jiu jitsu but also developing the kids social and emotional skills. My oldest child originally started in the “Just us two” program. What an amazing program! There’s nothing like it! It is a very welcoming and patient environment, plus having Krystine, a behavioral specialist, is a great advantage in class. With dedication and skill, my oldest advanced to the Kid’s class. My middle child is currently in the Little's class, and loves it! Overall, a wonderful, family-like environment! Dojo is clean! And the skill set and values the kids are acquiring are priceless! I would like to add that I drive all the way from Hialeah to come here. Definitely worth it!! Highly recommend!!"

"My son started training in August and was encouraged to sign up for a tournament in November. With just 3 months, he was confident enough to show up, compete, and win. I couldn’t be more thankful for the impact Coach Fernandez has had on my son in as little as 3 months. Excited to continue this journey! Thank you First Order of Jiu-Jitsu! 10/10 recommended :)"

"If you’re looking for a great place for your kids to learn Jiu Jitsu, I highly recommend First Order of Jiu-Jitsu. In this place your children are not only learning jiu-Jitsu, but they are also taught to respect and love each other. Since my son was 2 years old, we’ve taken him to many different places for martial arts and he has hated all of them. It wasn’t until he started here that he really loved it. When you come here it doesn’t feel like just a business, it feels like a family. Coach Tarzan has a very unique approach for each student he teaches, he finds the best way to target their specific needs. One thing I appreciate about coach Tarzan and his wife is that on Saturday’s they have a class for special needs kids of the community which I have not seen in any other martial arts school. I wish I could give 10 stars instead of just 5."

"We love bringing our son and daughter to learn jiu jitsu here. Coach Tarzan is amazing and is so good with the kids. Love the values and principles they are learning here. They also have great prices. Highly recommend!"
