Do you not like close contact with others? Not like other people’s sweat on you? Are you kind of a germaphobe? Do you think other people’s feet are gross? Maybe even self conscience about the way your own feet look? If yes, then this is the place for you. It will teach you mind over matter and throw all that “icky stuff” out the window. These were my main concerns when I was asked the first couple of times to try bjj out. Quite frankly I learned to “mostly” get over it. I’ve never been in a sport that’s challenged my mental and physical strength as much as bjj. And I’m glad I gave it a chance at Morumbi Simi Valley. It’s hard but really fun and has been a great experience for me…being slightly a germaphobe and all. Professer Gui and his team are amazing! Very welcoming since day one and very knowledgeable. If you have a question, they got an answer. If you’re partnered up with someone with a completely different physique than you, don’t worry, they’ll coach you out of a sticky situation. And the women’s only class has been a real treat too! A bonus for us girls! Elham Shah2025-08-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been bringing my son here for a year now. I love the discipline and wholistic approach they have to their program. The instructor, professor Gui, makes sure the students gear individual attention and instruction during class and always reminds the kids of the importance of being disciplined and hardworking in all aspects of their life.
