"When I started training with Junior I was looking to improve my self-defence and jiu jitsu skills. Two years down the line, Junior has not only helped me achieve my goals on the mat - he’s also inspired me to stay fit, healthy and confident in everything I do. I couldn’t ask for a better instructor or a more rewarding learning environment. Join the fun!"
...Not only did he get me in shape, but he also provided me with very important martial-arts and self-defence skills underpinned by BJJ and based on 'real life' rather than what you see on films. Importantly, I have several injuries that more often than not dissuade me from doing sports, and Juniao understood this and worked around these injuries giving me time to heal rather than getting worse. Regardless off age or sex, i highly recommend Juniao - you'll see rapid improvement whilst avoiding injuries."
"Juniao is the perfect mix of fun, focused, and committed coach. Unlike many different coaches and academies I've been to, Juniao actually cares about your mental and physical wellbeing and takes a personal interest in you as a student. I had a very specific, time constrained objective of what I wanted to learn, and Juniao was capable of developing a bespoke training programme to get me in fighting shape for my Africa expeditions...
“Henrique Junior is one of the best professors the academy ever had”
"I’ve been training BJJ under Juniao for 11+ years and there’s a reason for that. Firstly BJJ is a truly excellent way to get fit and relieve stress. It’s physically demanding, incredibly technical (& therefor intellectually demanding) and during each session one is completely present in the moment. You also join a group of diverse people who become close friends in no time. And secondly Juniao…
... Juniao is an excellent instructor. He has a depth of knowledge that I’ve yet to exhaust. He knows how much to push you so that you’re constantly challenged and improving, but never feel out of your depth. He will make you incredibly resilient and tough whatever your age, size or temperament. And his classes are always engaging and entertaining. Finally Juniao is an excellent human being and mentor. He cares deeply about his students’ welfare. He always has your back and his is the loudest voice in the room when you’re competing. And he’s the first to step up when you need help in life. I really can’t recommend training with him highly enough."
