Coach Luis is one of the most genuine people I know. He is passionate and really cares about his students. His passion, strong core values, and a very solid jiu jitsu game, makes Coach Luis an amazing instructor. If you're looking for a quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school, whether as an adult or for your kids...You can't go wrong with Gracie Apollo Beach.
I just signed up with GAB, as Luis was highly recommended by my close friend. After talking to Luis on the phone for 10 mins, I could hear his passion for BJJ as well as his professionalism. One thing I've noticed about this art, the further people advance, and the more time they are involved, the more humble they become, it truly is amazing.
Looking forward to the grand opening and the grind.
Luis and Erin and dedicated practitioners to the sport and art of Jiujitsu. They are not only professionals but superb people. They come with the highest recommendation. If I lived in the area, they would be coaching both of my children.

Luis is an amazing, passionate instructor. His knowledge and dedication to the sport is unmatched. He's great with kids and has extreme patience when teaching.
Luis is a great instructor and person, I highly recommend you train with him.
Met Luis when i was living in Florida attending school. I was a blue belt he was a brown. I’m never going to forget how he went out of his way to answer questions i had on certain moves or certain positions, just because he “loved jiu jitsu and wanted to spread the art.” He’d stay before or after with me for as much as 20 minutes sometimes. That really stuck with me. Some of these moves he showed me years ago i still use! This is a guy who’s a CLASS ACT and a GREAT PERSON . Cannot recommend him enough!!!
