Could not ask for a better Jujitsu experience! As a mom of 5 wild and fun boys, my husband and I chose this Jujitsu for the amazing structure, love, discipline, and faith that is poured in and pours out of this beautiful wide open gym. I have seen such a change in my boys! 2 of my boys were quiet and shy, now they are confident and blossoming. While 2 of my boys were wild and non stop even aggressive... now they are content to leave it on the mat and much more respectful. The coaches are so involved even off the mat! I've been able to voice concerns from home behaviors and the coaches were loving yet stern to change the boys attitudes. This place if incredible the family atmosphere is beautiful. I tell Coach that I can see Jesus in them they truly have made an impact in the lives of everyone who comes here. I am so excited when they have guest coaches come in. Strait Champions in wrestling and MMA coaching my little dudes! The heart and grind shows here!

Awsome gym and place of business. I trained here and also my son trained here. A great Christian family with great morals and respect. I recommend everyone who is looking for a top notch gym who's trainers really care about your physical heath, mental health, your family and your life. Coach David and Coach Annie are an inspiration to all who they come in contact with. Also mount Dora BJJ always comes in the top three of the tournaments their in.

I’ve been training here for about two years. I can’t say enough good things about the environment and how much it has improved my conditioning and confidence to protect myself and my family. Coach Annie and Coach David are great people and it starts with them. Must try out this place if you are looking!!

Mount Dora BJJ has been a blessing for myself and my family. The coaching there is incredible and they put the students and their families first. Highly recommended.

“I have been training at the Mount Dora BJJ/ MMA Academy since May of 2020, and joining was one the best decisions I’ve made. Coach David and Coach Annie teaches skills that could save your life some day. But it’s more than that. Jiu jitsu teaches respect for others, and for yourself. You will discover and push your boundaries – mentally, emotionally, and physically. Jiu jitsu is rewarding in a way that no amount of money can buy. It is an art, a science, self defense, and a community that will form an everlasting part of your life.”

This place has great reviews, and I can't help but wonder how? Perhaps the male owner is kind, but the woman who is always there is awful. She comes off as she is above everyone, and the way she spoke to my family is not very good for business. I'm not sure if this is a racial attack, or she's just an unpleasant woman. First impressions matter, and she was a condescending rude person to deal with the first time dealing with her. I wanted to enroll my two children into martial arts, and I can't even come here after what they put a child, and their guardians through. I can't imagine how she speaks to the children when the parents aren't there. Now I have to look elsewhere, because they have a dangerous woman working with children. Another note to add, they will charge you if you miss a day or pull a child out early. So they scam you for more money, after you have paid for the program. That is insane. You pay for the spot, but they charge you again as if you took someone's spot when it was always paid for. I have never heard of such ridiculousness. Attacking family, and children verbally with no shame.. That's crazy, please put the woman in the back where she can't be rude to people who aren't to her liking.

Highly recommended. You can tell they really care about what they do and the people in the class. The coaches care about the kids and families. They not only try to make you better at martial arts but a better person. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I’ve been here for about 6 years and I have nothing bad to say about this gym. They foster a well disciplined environment promoting excellence in Jiu jitsu and MMA. These coaches care deeply about their students in their success in not only martial arts but in life. These people push you to the best of your ability and have motivated me for years to be the best person I can be, physically and mentally. If you are looking to learn jiu jitsu or MMA, this gym will teach you all of that and more.

Taking my daughter to train with MDBJJ academy was the best decision I have made for her. I also made this decision for myself as I decided to start training as well. The coaches are wonderful, understanding, patient and just all around great people. This is not just a place you can go if you want to train and do competitions, it’s a place to learn self defense and you have fun while doing it, it’s not all work and no fun. However, do be prepared to put work in cause they won’t let you slack. Everyone should learn and train and the best place for that is MDBJ, come on and train with us! It’s what you have been needing and didn’t even know it, no matter your age!

Awesome environment for kids and adults. The owners are passionate about not only Jui Jitsu and fitness but also instilling values and habits in children that will benefit them through life!

BEST GYM IN LAKE COUNTY!!! I’ve been to MULTIPLE gyms in the 28 years of my existence, and this gym by FAR has the most “welcoming atmosphere “ . Coach David and Coach Annie are down to earth and as real as you can get! You feel at HOME soon as you walk through their doors. I also have 2 children that have attended for over a year now. My 5 year old (was 4 at the time) has made TREMENDOUS progress with his behavioral issues. I refer this family owned business to everyone who has had questions. I myself being 28 and my husband that’s 31 have recently joined the self defense class and LOVE IT!! This family is also very thoughtful enough to drive all the way to my sons school and add him to the route for after school pick up when they honestly didn’t have to, but they see potential in my son so they went that extra mile. They also do camp! It makes us working parent’s RELIEVED knowing our kids are in a SAFE place and having FUN so we don’t have to call out of work when the schools are closed! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

My son was angry and acting out and In just a few weeks I saw a significant change in him, i feel like I have my son back!The owners make this place so special! They truly care for each person that walks through the door and they make you family! I would highly recommend to anyone and any age! Check it out!

They teach respect and discipline something today's world is lacking as well as MMA. The coaches are very respectable people.
