Central Florida BJJ

Central Florida BJJ is led by Professor Alex, a black belt who has guided the school since its founding in 2012. The academy focuses on traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with an emphasis on self-defense, serving the South Orlando and Hunter’s Creek communities for over a decade. Alongside Professor Alex, Coach Justin, a brown belt who began training at the academy as a teenager, supports instruction across all age groups. The gym’s teaching approach balances technical fundamentals with practical application, aiming to build confidence and a healthier lifestyle for its members. Training at Central Florida BJJ is structured around gi classes segmented by age and experience. Programs include dedicated sessions for middle schoolers and high schoolers, as well as adult classes ranging from beginner to advanced levels. The academy’s curriculum prioritizes steady progression in technique and sparring, maintaining a strong connection to the core principles of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense. Students can expect a consistent focus on fundamentals, with opportunities to develop competitive skills as they advance. In addition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Central Florida BJJ recently introduced a wrestling program specifically for middle schoolers, expanding its offerings to complement grappling skills. The facility is wheelchair accessible and welcomes drop-in students, supporting a flexible training environment. Family training options and military discounts reflect the school’s roots in community engagement, encouraging members to train together across generations.
