Genesis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center

At Genesis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center in Port St. Lucie, students of all ages find a structured path on the mats, starting with clearly defined age groups and practical class formats. The academy is led by owner and head professor Wendel Gabetta, who has built the school around the belief that jiu-jitsu is a tool for personal development extending far beyond physical training. The curriculum emphasizes three pillars: traditional martial arts philosophy, technical study, and real application, tying every class into a larger purpose of self-discovery and growth. The training schedule reflects this philosophy with dedicated programs for every stage of learning. Young children begin in the Little Fighters gi classes, split into two groups for ages 4–7, while older kids move to gi and no-gi classes for ages 8–11. Teens have their own gi and no-gi sessions, and a homeschool class for ages 6–12 makes training accessible to families with flexible schedules. Adults can join beginner fundamentals, all-levels gi, and no-gi classes, along with women’s-only gi sessions and focused drills and rolling classes. For those preparing for competition, a kids’ competition class is also on offer. Genesis BJJ Center rounds out the weekly schedule with open mats—available in both gi and no-gi—welcoming students to put their skills to the test in a less formal setting. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and drop-ins are welcomed across many classes, making it easy for newcomers and visitors to experience the academy firsthand.
