Daniel Tavares BJJ Academy is the place to learn authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
All Levels Jiu-Jitsu - GI
Our Gi Program teaches authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the traditional kimono. We offer structured classes that begin with stretching and a dynamic warm-up. Classes focus on learning techniques, improving your skills, and understanding how to use leverage, timing, and strategy. Drilling and live rolls are also an important part of our training.
These classes are beneficial for anyone looking to improve their physical fitness, learn self-defense, compete in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, or simply enjoy a great workout. Training is also a great way to meet new people, relieve stress, and be part of a welcoming community. The program is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced students.
No Gi
Our No Gi program focuses on grappling and Jiu-Jitsu without the gi. Students have the opportunity to learn Jiu-Jitsu techniques taught in our Gi classes and how to adapt them to No Gi situations. Classes are open to men and women ages 14+ and all experience levels.
The No Gi Program follows the same class structure. Classes also focus on learning techniques, improving your skills, and understanding how to use leverage, timing, and strategy. Drilling and live rolling are also an important part of our training, just as they are in all of our programs.
These classes are beneficial for anyone looking to improve their physical fitness, compete in No Gi tournaments or MMA competitions, or learn self-defense.
Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Kids have a natural tendency toward grappling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides a great way to channel their energy into something productive and rewarding. In our Kids Program, we help students develop qualities that will benefit them both on and off the mats. Through Jiu-Jitsu, kids learn the importance of commitment, respect, focus, self-discipline, hard work, and effort. They also learn that challenges are part of the learning process and that when something becomes difficult, they should keep trying instead of giving up. These lessons help them grow, build confidence, and understand that dedication and hard work can lead to positive and rewarding results.
Ages 4-6
Designed specifically for our youngest practitioners, this class introduces children ages 4 to 6 to the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while helping them develop coordination, agility, discipline, and respect.
Children also learn how to follow directions and participate in a structured class. Our coaches are trained to work patiently with young children, helping them feel comfortable, engaged, and confident as they learn. The program provides a strong foundation for their Jiu-Jitsu journey and helps prepare them for the next level, which begins at age 7.
Classes are held on Mat 2 and are suitable for children of all skill levels.
- Develop Self-Discipline
- Build confidence and determination
- Increase focus
- Begin a healthy lifestyle at a young age

Ages 6-12
Our Kids program combines the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with fun and exciting skill-based exercises and games designed to improve coordination, strength, flexibility, agility, and overall movement.
Classes are structured to help students learn and practice Jiu-Jitsu techniques through instruction, drilling, and live rolling. As they progress, kids develop focus, discipline, confidence, and the ability to work with others while learning how to face challenges and keep working when things get difficult.
Our goal is to provide a positive and supportive environment where kids can build a strong foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while developing skills and values that will benefit them both on and off the mats.
