One of the best instructors I ever had the chance to train with. The connection that this guy has with students, from kids to adults, is off the charts - and its all due to the heart, passion and love he puts into what he does.

JP has been teaching my son Carlson Gracie style JiuJitsu for over 2 years and I couldn't be happier. Under his leadership, my son has won multiple FFBJJ, IBJJF, BJJ Tour, NAGA, Grappling Games, and Newbreed tournaments and has developed passion for the art of BJJ.. Thanks JP ... Oss

Professor JP is a great role model and a true warrior I have trained with him for over 6 years and it’s always a privilege and honor to train Jiujitsu and learn from him I look forward in training with him at his new school!!

JP is an amazing instructor with many years of sweat and blood under his belt. Learning under him is like learning under a true bjj warrior.

This school is an amazing place to learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. The vibes and the people are great. JP is the most down to earth person you'll ever meet. He's not only your professor, but he's also your friend/family. He embodies every aspect a student could ever want in an instructor/professor. Joining his academy is one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Beast of an instructor. Really good with building kids knowledge and preparing them for competition and/or self-defense. Highly recommend.

Dario Solis

This guy has a gift, a gift for teaching. I’ve known Jp for about 8 years. He has a gift to be able to teach all age groups but something unique is that he is really really good with teaching children, something which is hard to find. I guarantee your life will change for the best the moment you walk through those doors and meet JP. I can go on and keep talking about how great this place is but you just really need to come see it for yourself.

Hands down the best person to teach kids this beautiful art and build confidence, discipline, and character. My kids have gone through a lot of instructors, coaches, teachers, and none have had a lasting effect and love like J.P. has. Thank you so much J.P. you have become part of my family for years to come.

Hans Castedo-Garcia

JP puts tremendous heart, passion, and love into his teachings as seen in his time coaching the kids at Carlson Gracie Miami. JP gives each student of his their own individual and precise attention, taking into consideration that student’s learning style. I can genuinely say that having JP as your jiujitsu instructor is a blessing like no other.

JP is a great instructor. I recommend JP Jiu-Jitsu Academy.
