He clearly explains techniques and really takes the time to make sure you understand every part of a move. 10/10 recommend Gracie North Port for competition training, self defense and the children's programs are awesome." Jesse C. ![robert](https://gracienorthport.com/hubfs/robert.png) "Dominic Gonzalez is a phenomenal coach and has something to offer anyone interested in Brazilian Jujitsu from beginner to advanced. My BJJ journey started at the age of 35 (don’t let age stop you from trying BJJ) with Dom years ago with me having no prior experience in combat sports and little natural ability. Something that started because I thought it might be cool to get a little exercise and learn a couple things turned into what I hope is a lifelong journey in an exceptionally interesting sport. If he can teach me he can teach anyone." Robert D. ![brian](https://gracienorthport.com/hubfs/brian.png) "A great school. The coach is very good with kids while being firm and maintaining order. My boy loves going to class here, it was the highlight of his week." Brian W. ![stacey](https://gracienorthport.com/hubfs/stacey.jpg) "Coach Dom is a great Jiu Jitsu instructor and he’s really good with teaching the kids. My son enjoys coming to class. So glad we found this place. It’s a great workout and great for building his confidence. Would highly recommend." Stacey B. ![noel](https://gracienorthport.com/hubfs/noel.jpg) "If you’re looking for a down to earth, realistic, welcoming BJJ training facility, this is 100% the place to be! Whether you or your kiddos are looking to build confidence, learn self defense, increase your fitness & endurance outside of normal crowded gyms, etc. Dominic is an excellent instructor & person all around. Personally I am recovering from an SCI & Jiu Jitsu has saved my life!" Noel J. ![ari](https://gracienorthport.com/hubfs/ari.png) "Professor Dom is a great teacher, he loves Jiu-Jitsu and teaches in a manner that emanates both his joy and detailed understanding of the sport. He has a disarming and calming approach to his teaching style. You can tell that he has a deep understanding as he will demonstrate examples of various outcomes depending on certain moves and responses with what was being taught."
