No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Naples, FL

Training with Coach Nick has completely changed my approach to jiu jitsu. His framework and the way he breaks down concepts made everything click in a way it never had before. He without a doubt elevated my overall grappling pedigree. Coach Nick pushes people to improve without ever making it overwhelming, and every session feels purposeful. Anyone who trains at his gym is in the best hands possible.

Coach Nick is the rare combination of expert level martial artist and highly trained and accredited educator. My two oldest sons (10 and 8) and I have had the benefit of training with Nick extensively for the past 5 years. He is equally skilled in teaching and motivating a class filled with 20 children (ages 6–16) as he is leading an adult program (ages 17–60+). If you are fortunate to train in one of his classes or even better — as a private instructor — you will not be disappointed. He truly cares about the progress of each of his students and is constantly putting the work in to stay on the cutting edge of BJJ instruction.

Nick is an amazing coach! He has a rare combination of jiujitsu mastery, deep teaching expertise, and the ability to make it all fun. With his constraints-led approach, his classes keep you engaged and moving the entire session. Instead of memorizing a bunch of steps and hoping they stick, you practice achieving specific goals against live resistance the whole time, finding solutions that work for your body and style, and learning how to weave them all together. Whether you're a seasoned grappler or a total newb, super athletic or not at all, competing or just training for fun and fitness, Nick's coaching will do wonders for you.

Nick's strong passion and deep knowledge of Jiu Jitsu make every class a fun and growth-oriented experience. He puts a lot of thought into designing classes and games based on students' levels and progressions, helping us develop intuition and build techniques effectively. Nick's clear communication and unique coaching approach make complex Jiu Jitsu concepts and moves easy to understand and grasp. In addition, his effort to travel for out-of-town competitions to corner us shows his full commitment to students' progress. I can't recommend Coach Nick and his classes enough — it will definitely elevate your Jiu Jitsu greatly.

I met Nick during my very first jiujitsu trial class, but more than three years later I was still able to learn something new from him almost every day. As a coach and as a mentor, he was consistently one of the most helpful people on the mat, and was instrumental in helping me to shape my game. I would recommend his classes to everyone without hesitation, and I still hear his voice in my head when I roll: "Get on top, stay on top!"

An amazing person, BJJ black belt and instructor. The definition of positive mental attitude. Leg lock master and half butterfly king. Extremely funny and kind. Always a nice word for both the grommets and the adults, and brings a sense of humor to his techniques. Trained at a number of different gyms and brings a wide variety of skills to the mat. Thoroughly capable and top quality.
