"Amazing place to start your journey or get back into your journey for the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! All of the Coaches and the Professors are filled with knowledge with a supportive upbeat attitude! The situations and techniques taught are easy to learn if you put your mind to it and listen & apply to what they have to say. They offer classes weekdays throughout the entire day so you can fit it into your schedule! With the amount of classes offered, there’s no reason you can’t fit it into your busy schedule! Everyone there will help along the way and give you the guidance/tips to better master the skill. If you’re looking for a place to start your journey, this is your place to go! The Dojo is clean and top notch! They offer a meal plan as well to help your weight goals whether it’s to lose or add weight. Everything you might need, Professor Daniel Pinheiro has it! Family friendly atmosphere, so if you have little kids bring them along and plug them into the children’s classes! Five stars all around!" -

"started at team shark mid June coach Daniel Pinheiro has an awesome team and program. I weighed in at 202.2 lbs and on my final weigh in after my 42 day challenge I weighed in at 180lbs, I lost 22lbs on his program. Coach Daniel sends motivating text messages in the morning to get you started off on the right foot and is always checking in and asking about people’s goals and if they are on track, he is also flexible and willing to work with your schedule, he makes it easy and accommodates to his students. The classes are instructive and competitive and great for those seeking to learn BJJ and improver their physical fitness and mental frame of mind as well as a boost in self confidence. Thank you for helping me achieve my goals in an exciting environment!!! I highly recommend to those who are on the fence to give Team Shark an opportunity to help you improve yourself. -

"I recommend anyone who is trying change for the betterment of their health and well-being to sign up for the 42day challenge. Professor takes the time to get to know you and creates a diet plan that is best suited for you. I went in weighing 190lbs. My goal was to gain weight and at the end of the challenge I was 198lbs and now I am maintaining my weight where I want it and also continue to attend classes now as a team member of The Sharks. My confidence has gone up and I’ve noticed that I am more aware of my thought process at work. So it has had a great impact on me. 10/10 Everyone is friendly and positive vibes just the type of people I want to continue surrounding myself with.

"First and foremost professor Pinheiro is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Everyone there leaves their ego at the door and create a welcoming environment. I’ve had some previous experience and training but If you’re someone that has never done anything like this, this is the perfect environment to start in. The facility is clean and offers a great alternative to traditional gym workouts. With their guidance and encouragement I was able to lose 21lbs in 6 weeks time and feel amazing. If you’re someone that’s caught in a rut or has let themselves go a bit like I had, it is never too late to quit making excuses and jump right in! Make the leap and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I felt a great sense of accomplishment for completing the challenge they offered and made me remember the love and passion I have for the sport.

" I'm currently on week 4 of Professor Daniel's 42 day warrior challenge. I had no idea what I was getting into but I knew I wanted a positive change in my health and fitness. I came into this with no athletic background or knowledge of BJJ but the Professor and his team have been welcoming and motivating since day one. I have not one negative experience and each class I walk away more confident and determined to be a better version of myself. It's hard work but before you know it, class is over and you're drenched in sweat having had a full body workout. I love that you can begin no matter what your fitness level is. No matter your goals you are in great hands! Thanks for all your support Professor and team! God bless!" - Manuel Rivas
" So here’s the thing about Team Shark and professor Daniel…… you have to be willing to do the work. If you’re looking for a place to put in little effort this is not the place for you. Our family has been a part of this gym for 4 years and we plan to stay for as long as professor will have us. Not only has our daughter learned from and trained with a WORLD CHAMPION…. She has gained confidence, self awareness and learned about hard work. She has been granted opportunities to feel challenged and accomplish goals she has set for herself with the encouragement from professor Daniel. Professor has taught her not to give up. This is the perfect place to bring your kiddos. professor Daniel cares about his students. Unlike other jiujitsu gyms, professor Daniel runs a tight ship. He has always been fair and ethical with our family! Oh and as a side note the “tank” is always… ALWAYS clean!!!!

A Final Word from Professor Daniel Pinheiro
When I was younger in Brazil there were a lot of fights in the streets. Usually, the older kids would get the better of us. My grandma decided that I should learn self-defense.
We were lucky because at the end of her street was a police department. The sergeant their taught Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and I started training when I was 11.
Jiu-Jitsu saved my life.
We came from a rough environment, there were only 2 choices. You either study or become somebody, or you get in trouble.
We did the first option, and also made sure that Jiu-jitsu was part of our daily routine as a plan b.
My dad taught me that hard work is more valued more than money.
I was raised on those principles and that is how my gym is now.
We combine this with our core beliefs of loyalty, honor, respect, and love to ensure that our gym is inclusive and everyone feels like family.
