Tiago De Paula BJJ

Expérience négative: I joined this club with my son three years ago. Back then, it was an amazing community that supported everyone growing together. It felt like a family. Sadly, in the last year lots of things changed: Many classes are now taught by lower ranked belts, individuals are measured by their ability to smash their oponents and even the kids are encouraged to get increasily aggresive, all this leading to injuries. The owner keeps changing the schedule and cancelling classes on short notice, and clients‘ opinions are discredited to the point of being silenced in forums, even while abo is still running. I will forever be grateful for the wonderful people and learnings that I took but as it is now, I would no longer recommend it.

Expérience fantastique: Tolle BJJ-Schule mit super Atmosphäre! Die Trainer sind sehr aufmerksam und die Schüler freundlich. Besonders die Kinderkurse sind top. Ich empfehle es jedem – egal ob man Kämpfer werden will oder einfach nur mittags als Hobby mit der Familie trainieren möchte. Perfekt für eine aktive Pause während der Arbeit!

Expérience fantastique: Thanks Tiago! My kid went to Tiagos Camp, he had such a wonderful time! Tiago is always so friendly and is very welcoming, always ready to offer helpful advice. Thank you! Will be there for next time! :)

Expérience fantastique: Best Kids BJJ Camp in town.

Expérience fantastique: Went to Switzerland on vacation and asked Tiago if it would be okay to drop-in, he was simply spectacular. If I went to another place im 100% sure I wouldn't get the same experience, everyone was super friendly, family kinda vibe, people that regularly compete, the training it self was extremely technical and on the end rolled with the professors and students, very technicall and good, never felt any malice intention or in danger. If your planning to drop-in to train in Zurich or start jiu-jitsu I couldn't recommend a better dojo. Thank you :)

Expérience fantastique: Der beste Kids Trainer den ganzen Schweiz

Expérience fantastique: Tiago is such a great guy. Love his Training for myself and can't wait till my little one is old enough to train with him too! Biggest recommendation if you wanna learn the art of BJJ from a legit black belt in a super relaxed, family-like environment ❤️

Expérience fantastique: I dropped in to Tiago's academy when I was visiting Zurich recently, and I'd highly recommend it. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, including the instructors (Tiago and Raquel) who were extremely knowledgable and great teachers. I hope to visit again in the future!

Expérience fantastique: Tiago ist ein sehr geduldiger und guter Trainer! Er hat immer ein offenes Ohr und supportet uns wo es geht! Ich liebe die Kampfschule!

Expérience fantastique: Der Professor Tiago sind unglaublich talentiert und besitzen eine spezielle Fähigkeit ihr wissen an die Studenten weiterzugeben. Die Schule hat sehr gute Trainingsparnter und super gute Vibes Die beste BJJ-Akademie in Zürich!

Expérience fantastique: Tiago and his team are great teachers. The gym has a super friendly and inspiring atmosphere combined with a healthy competitive spirit. The classes are well mixed and the kids classes are great!

Expérience fantastique: I've trained for a week (4 evening classes) at Tiago's dojo. Tiago started his dojo teaching to kids only and later started to teach adults, I've seen him interact with them and it's obvious he loves them very much and they have a lot of fun. He's also very proud of them and their great competition results. The gym is quite small, I would say we were about 15 per class and filling up the space well, white and blue, all ages with somewhat of a gap in the 20-30 range (I assumed it was because the gym developed from the kid's parents). The atmosphere is very familial and chill (they self describe as family orientated), all my training partners were very respectful and welcoming. Tiago is really a great guy with a super positive attitude, you cannot dislike him, the classes are a fun time. The classes are given in English, we start with a warmup given by a student while presumably Tiago takes a break (he has a tight schedule with many classes and private lessons), jumping around, running, high knees, pushups, 10 min max, then the technique, sometimes positional sparring in theking of the hill format then 2 or 3 3 minute rolls (on the Friday we did 3 or 4 5 min rolls). All week we studied the same main moves, single leg take down, and a sequence switching between different guards, + some guard passing drills and a sub from side control on the Friday. Tiago gave me more personal attention than I'd expect as a visitor and his input was very valuable, he offered me a roll on my last lesson too. I liked the possibility to train in the gi every week evening, didn't try no gi but I saw 3 or 4 tall jacked dude coming out of it so I expect the rolls to be challenging! I recommend the gym, especially for kids and older beginners that have some apprehension towards this beautiful sport.

Expérience fantastique: What a great academy. The atmosphere and coaching here is one of the best I have visited. Anyone looking to train would be at a disservice by not attending classes here.

Expérience fantastique: Sehr guter Trainer für Erwachsene und Kinder. Tiago führt das Dojo mit viel Herz und Erfahrung. Team und Stimmung sind sehr familiär!

Expérience fantastique: The best bjj club for kids in town! The teacher is amazing - kids love him and always can’t wait to come to the next class. My daughter developed her bjj skills and gained confidence so quickly here. After this I decided to sign up as well and adults’ classes are as much fun!!! Thank you Tiago!

Expérience fantastique: Top Place!

Expérience fantastique: We want to express our deepest gratitude for the amazing work you do Tiago. We have been training with you for 2.5 years and we can confidently say that you have made a tremendous impact on our lives. Before we came to your dojo, we visited 4 other dojos in Zurich, but none of them seemed like the perfect fit for us until we found your place. After our kids' first class, we knew that we had found the right place. You have an incredible talent for working with kids. You are caring, dedicated, and funny, and you have a way of convincing even the shyest or most unmotivated kid to try a class. And they always come out of the tatami with a smile on their face and excited for the next class. Watching you roll with the kids is truly impressive. You're able to challenge them without overwhelming them, and you always make sure that they're safe and having fun. Your coaching during the sparring sections is also unparalleled. You're able to provide individualized feedback and encouragement to each child, and you have a gift for knowing exactly how to motivate them to do their best. That's what you do to kids, Tiago. You teach them not only BJJ, but also lessons for life, like respect, dedication, and never giving up. Now, Tiago de Paula BJJ is part of our life. Our 6 and 9-year-old kids train there, and my husband and I do private classes with you. The environment at your dojo is like a family. Everyone is included and feels welcome. The events you promote, like kids' camps, summer barbecues, Halloween, and Christmas parties, are fun and build a great connection between the kids and the parents. You motivate the kids to take part in competitions, and you're always there to encourage and support them, regardless of the result. You're more than just a coach to us, Tiago. You're a mentor, a friend, and a role model. We are very grateful to be part of this community, and we want to thank you for the tremendous impact you have made on our lives. Thank you for being you, Tiago. With heartfelt thanks, Melina, Julio, Lucas and Luisa
