Northeast Florida's Premier Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

At BTT Jax, we are committed to helping each student reach their personal goals. Whether your intention is to learn self-defense, become a successful competitor in the martial arts, or simply to get in shape in a fun way, we can help you.

Marcello Bergo - Head Instructor

Marcello "Salazar" Bergo is a world champion 4th Degree Black under Murilo Bustamante and a representative of Brazilian Top Team. He has competed and won at the highest levels of BJJ, Submission Grappling, Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, and mixed martial arts. More importantly, he is an even better instructor.

Marcello has brought his technical knowledge and experience to Jacksonville Fl. His aim is to produce the most successful BJJ program in the area. He is committed to teaching his students everything he knows about BJJ and strives to do so in a family oriented environment.

Adult BJJ

The BTT Jax Adult Program is designed to teach beginners the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and to help develop experienced practitioners become more well rounded martial artists. Because BJJ is a complex art, understanding and mastering the basics is the cornerstone of any student's success. We offer BJJ in Gi (Traditional Uniform) and No-Gi.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced grappler, in your teens or an adult, our BJJ classes are great for self-defense and sport for both recreational purposes and a serious competitive edge. Benefits include gained confidence and a sense of discipline, as well as a regimented training program you can depend on, a total body workout, increased fitness levels and weight loss.

Youth BJJ

Our Youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program is designed for kids and teenagers ages 4-15. We teach self defense techniques through a combination of skill building games, physical conditioning, and mental preparation. Our students not only improve their coordination, agility, and flexibility, they also develop important character traits and values. The confidence they obtain while learning BJJ ultimately helps them perform better in academics, become more outgoing in social settings, and set higher goals for their future. Most importantly, they have fun with great instructors and friends.

There are many martial arts to choose from, but in our opinion, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most effective and best suited for a child to learn. BJJ techniques are based on leverage and technique. It is a system designed to help a smaller person defeat a larger opponent, which makes it a perfect fit for kids.

Muai Thai

Students learn traditional Muay Thai striking, defense and footwork, then incorporate them in timed drilling and sparring rounds with a partner.

Muay Thai is a form of hard martial art practiced in large parts of the world, including Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. The art is similar to others in Southeast Asia such as pradal serey in Cambodia, Lethwal in Myanmar, Tomol in Malaysia, and Lao boxing in Laos. Muay Thai has a long histoy in Thailand and is the country's national sport. Traditional Muay Thai practiced today varies significantly from the ancient art Muay Boran and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing.

Everyone there was so friendly, very welcoming and amazing they showed techniques, helped out where I was lacking and made sure I got it right. I highly recommend this school if you live in the area.

New to Jacksonville and I was looking to get into BJJ as well as make some friends. I read the reviews and saw that the general vibe was welcoming but did not expect that I was going to end up meeting people that treat me like family, with such kindness,respect and incredibly supportive. I was surprised to find that theres quite a few other ladies there and they are the BEST, couldn't have made it without their support. The instructors are also kind and know their stuff and very helpful. 10/10 would recommend 👏

100% Transparent Forex Trader and Highly Recommended Bitcoin Expert with good reputation and who happens to enter the mouths of thousands of investors due to her good works. Mrs Muriel Siebert. is the Trader I'm still gonna recommend. Not Just because I've seen so many persons recommending her, but because she's reliable, Honest, Transparent and the very Best in the Forex Trading System... If she tells you that your $2000 investment can give you $16,500 that's exactly how it's gonna be because I'm a living witness to her trading skills. She does exactly what she promised.

The simple truth about Forex trade which many of us don't know is the fact that it is mainly based on predictions, without proper knowledge of what next can happen to the stock market, you are sure to lose your funds. That is why it is important to be tutored or educated by a professional trader such as Mrs Ava Henry Fx Trader. During few days of being mentored by Ava Henry , I've learnt so much and also succeeding in trades which I invested $500 for a start and made a successful withdrawal of $6,900 after a week, I was also able to recover all my lost funds. "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." Her contact below;Email: Avahenry2424@gmail.com WhatsApp: +15704783178

Been going here for about 3 months now. I have to say this place has been wonderful! The coaches Marcelo and George are top notch w strong BJJ backgrounds. Not only have they been inviting, but the rest of the team have been helpful in training. It has a family friendly environment. I could write more about how much I have been enjoying my time there, but the best thing to do is just stop by and try out a few classes. It’s good vibes and good times! Brazilian! TOP TEAM!
