Awesome place. Life changing for adults. Life building for children. One of the few places in the world were Ive experienced and witnessed mutual respect shown for all people; men, women, and children. Ive been training here almost everyday for a month now and its become one my favorite places to be outside of home. You will learn and you will work hard but you will also have fun and potentially make life long friends/family.

FRBJJ is the best BJJ in Central Florida. The owner and instructors clearly make having a fun in an open, honest, friendly and accepting atmosphere their priority. Youll instantly have a new group of friends when you join. The school is well maintained, nicely designed and always spotlessly clean. Ive been several times. Most recently my 15 year old nephew trained with instructor Uriel Ortiz. Uriel truly has a gift for teaching BJJ, especially young or less experienced people. Check out any of the FRBJJ locations, especially the Altamonte academy. You absolutely will be glad you did.

Going into a gym for the first time with no martial arts experience can be intimidating. Here at FR they treat you like family right away! Instructors are absolutely fantastic and full of energy and passion. And all the higher belts in the class have been so nice and helpful, no big egos here. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this gym. Not only do I feel like I belong as a jiu jitsu student, I am welcomed as a family. In fact, this is my second family. I have learned loyalty and respect from the owner / professor and principles to last a lifetime. Thank you FRBJJ and thank you Fabin Rosa for everything you’ve taught me!

I have been attending Fabin Rosas school in Orlando for a little over a year and a half. When Fabin opened a school in Altamonte I decided to give go and check it out because its closer to my apartment. JD Lopez is the best. Hes knowledgeable, personable, and patient. The other students made me feel extremely welcome too. If you are looking to learn self defense, or if you want the best workout of your life, this is it.

I came to Fabin Rosa bjj looking for a good place to train me and my kids. All the instructors were extremely welcoming and work amazing with kids. Even learning there names that day. My kids can’t wait to make it to class everyday and learn there new techniques. The adult class is a great experience also all of the veteran students are eager to lend a helping hand and truly make you feel part of a team.“I suggest this school to people of all walks of life from beginners to pros!!!!!”

JD is the professor here at this location and he’s awesome. A great practitioner of the art and an excellent teacher. He shows brand new students the ropes & offers more advanced courses so no one is left behind. Gym is always clean, it’s a great environment and there’s a lot of awesome people that train here. Highly recommend JD and this location.

JD does an awesome job running this gym. There are no egos. He expects the kids to do their best and they really enjoy being there. All of the Coaches are involved in teaching/supervising the kids as they grapple. My son has improved drastically since being with JD. I definitely recommend this gym

Review №15

JD has been an incredible coach and role model for my four year old. Hes been exceptional in teaching my son things we really didnt think he was ready for. Every class has been a great way for my son to expend his seemingly never ending supply of energy as well as teach him discipline at the same time. Cannot say enough about how happy we are to have found JD and FRBJJ!

This place is awesome. Instructors are Professional, knowledgeable and really help you master your technique. The area where you roll has a great view due to all the windows. Mats are sanitized after every session and everything is kept very clean.

Stopped by for open gym while visiting Orlando. Loved the environment and the welcoming vibe I got as soon as I walked in the door. The gym was very clean and on top of sanitizing the mats. Nobody there had an ego that would steer you away. If I moved back to Orlando, this is the gym I would join. Highly recommended.

Amazing school to train at! I started training here a couple months ago. Great vibes, everyone is super friendly. JD is a wonderful instructor, his way of running the classes makes it easy to comprehend the techniques. Would recommend to anyone that is looking to start training Jiujitsu or getting back into training. Definitely going to be my home gym for many years to come!

Great environment and energy. I felt accepted as soon as I walked in for the first time. I recommend FRBJJ to anyone who wants to learn, grow, and make some friends.JD is an excellent instructor who truly wants his students to reach the next level, while remembering to enjoy the journey in the meantime. A positive role model with an encouraging attitude.

Its a great gym with a knowledgeable and courteous staff. Maestre Lopez is very eloquent in instructions that make techniques easy to learn. A training team full of positive vibrations that takes care of each other. Ive only started here recently form a hiatus after moving, but I know that this where I belong as long as Im in Altamonte Springs. If you need to get on the mats, its a great place to roll! 🤙🏼

👍Excellent experience, I took private lessons. JD and others were very welcoming and friendly. His teaching is fantastic. I loved it. He made me believe that I can take this to an advanced level. And I am planning to do entirely with him this course. I cant explain with my words how great technique he applies to teach a new person. You can feel this is hard work, but with a teacher like him, you can do this. I will recommend everyone interested in Jiu-Jitsu Come To this place.

Review №31

I had been trying to get my 13 year old son interested in martial arts for quite some time but he was reluctant. After taking him to Fabin Rosas Altamonte Springs location, however, he loved it and decided to sign up on his own. The instructor, JD, is great. He is very passionate about teaching and does it in a way that is easy for students to understand and assimilate. He is also very friendly and welcoming making all students and parents feel right at home. We highly recommend both the academy and the instruction.

Was in town for only a couple days, so I sent a request to check the schedule and availability, JD called back quickly and was extremely nice and accommodating.I showed up the next day during his noon class (which if I lived here would be my go-to for sure) and although I’m a very new white belt, JD was so incredibly patient, informative, and passionate about our training.Next time I come back to Orlando I’ll be sure to stop by his place and roll. Thanks again JD for all your attention and support today.

From day one my daughter felt welcomed. She went in taking shoes and socks off ready to explore and learn. I love that she was able to try the class to get a feel for if this would be a good fit or not. The instructors are kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. Just what we were looking for. I am so excited for this journey for her and this partnership.

So I came in for the trial week not really knowing to expect, since it was my first time dabbling in martial arts. I’m fortunate to say I’ve had nothing but a good experience while being there. Good people, clean environment an more importantly an awesome instructor JD. All of that has made a signing up to be one of the easiest decisions I’ve made.

Review №52

Being someone who knew absolutely nothing about the sport of BJJ, I found the process of getting started with JD to be stress-free, comfortable, and enjoyable. JD’s top priority is safety and his love for the sport shows through his patience and attention to detail. I highly recommend this gym anyone who has considered trying something new and going outside their comfort zone; every training session I feel welcome as if I were family.

Review №53

At first I was nervous to give Jiu Jitsu a try but this gym is very welcoming especially for beginners. The instructor JD is patient and accommodating to all of his students and makes it easy to learn. He is knowledgeable and passionate about his teaching. My oldest son (5 years old) started at the same time I did and really enjoys the kids classes too. JD also has private lessons available which have been really helpful to me as a beginner as there is so much to learn to start out that it can be overwhelming! I highly recommend this gym and just wish I had started sooner!

Review №54

Ive just started training here and they are very helpful and welcoming to newcomers. It can be intimidating to start BJJ, but after 1 class all of that went away due to how helpful everyone was and how much fun it is. If you are thinking about trying it out but are a little afraid, DO IT! You wont regret it, and after your first class youll be super excited to come back!

Very pleased with this gym!Took my child here for the free trial period and immediately signed up for classes! The instructors are knowledgeable, personable with both parent/adult and student, and take pride in what they do.

Review №65

While on vacation away from the seriousness and the snow in D.C., I paid a visit to the beautiful Fabin Rosa, Alta Springs Academy. Ive visited a few academies while on vacation in my 3 years of training and this one is by far my favorite. Never in my travels to other academies have I encountered an instructor that greeted me so openly. The mat is filled with warm light from the sun, the people were respectful and best of all, the instruction was pleasingly technical.As a blue belt, I like to consider myself a novice at best with a passion for everything that Jiu-Jitsu has to offer. I went to Orlando looking to enjoy the sun and meet Mickey Mouse, but when I left… all I could think about was training one more time at Fabin Rosa, Alta Springs. Whether youre in town for vacation or looking for a great place to train and meet new people, I implore you to stop by and simply give this place a try. Ill be back!!!

Of course the instructor is great but the best part about training/learning here is the culture created by everyone. No egos and everyone is genuinely excited to help you in anyway they can.

Review №84

My wife and I brought up the idea that we would like to get our kids involved in martial arts. After reviewing the options we came to the conclusion that jiu jitsu would be the best discipline for our kids. Right away my 5 y/o son was excited and all in on the idea. My 10 y/o daughter was reluctant and a little intimidated at the idea. We went to our first class and we left impressed. JD (lead instructor) was awesome, great with the kids. My son liked it so much we went ahead and signed him up, my daughter signed up the next day, she just needed to see what it was all about. The youth class had a good girl/boy ratio of all ages. Cant wait to see the progression of these kids during our time here. I would totally recommend this place even if your kids are a little shy, just get them here and they will have a blast.

I’ve always been interesting in learning Brazilian jujitsu. One day I made up my mind and attended Fabin Rosa Brazilian jujitsu school. It didn’t have that MMA feel and intimidation to it. JD made me feel welcomed and answered all my questions before starting. I didn’t own a gi and they provided one for me to try out for a week. Within a few days I signed up right away.JD is a very detailed instructor with patience and allows you to grow at your own pace. If you’ve ever thought about learning Brazilian jujitsu this is the school that you should do it at. No egos, no bullies, just good old fashion hard work.

It is never too late to start training Jiu Jitsu with the best, I started training last year at 44 years old straight off the couch. At 45 I am now in the best shape of my life and continue to push myself. JD Lopez, the head instructor is not only the best instructor but also a great motivator and all around positive person. The environment is very family orientated and friendly and the students are from every walk of life. Dont take my word for it come down and check it out for yourself, I guarantee that after a couple of classes that you will be as hooked as I am.

Tonight was my first time doing jiu jitsu. Ive also never done any martial arts before. JD is an amazing instructor and explained everything step by step which made it easy for me to follow along. Outside of how welcoming JD was, everyone in the class was just as welcoming. Each student that I practiced or grappled with would help explain everything to me. I can already tell that I have found a second family. I look forward to tomorrow night for the next class.

JD and his staff are great with the kids. Class runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 5:30 to 6:30. My 9 year son has fun while learning great defense skills and getting exercise at the same time. I would recommend his Altamonte location to anyone interested in having their child learn jiu jitsu.
