Zicro Academy / Alliance Jiu Jitsu in Tallahassee is built around the leadership of Felipe “Zicro” Neto, a sixth-degree black belt under Romero “Jacaré” Cavalcanti and a graduate in physical education. Known for its strong technical foundation and structured progression, the academy maintains a direct link to the roots of the Alliance team—one of the most accomplished names in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Neto’s experience is evident in the depth of the instructor team, which includes several black belts who have come up through his own teaching rather than relying on visiting coaches. Classes at Zicro Academy cover a full range of students, with separate sessions for children and adults and a clear division between beginner and intermediate/advanced training. The kids’ program is led by instructors who combine years of experience on the mat with backgrounds in education and coaching, and the adult curriculum emphasizes Alliance’s stepwise approach to technical development before live sparring. The academy also offers mixed martial arts, fitness kickboxing, and women’s self-defense, reflecting a broader commitment to practical martial arts and personal growth. The facility supports a busy schedule, including early morning executive classes, afternoon and evening BJJ, and a fitness area available to parents during kids’ sessions. With its deep local roots, internal coaching pipeline, and direct Alliance lineage, the academy provides a clear path for anyone in Tallahassee serious about learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a structured, technically-driven environment.
