Terrinha Draculino BJJ Team - Milford, Massachusetts

Both my boys (age 6 and 3) are enrolled here and love it! Carlos is an excellent professor/instructor. The students respect him and the studio, are learning a great deal of practical martial arts, and he keeps the kids classes fun and engaging. Technically my 3 year old is just shy of the age cut and I was worried that he wouldn’t have the discipline or patience to get through class, but that hasn’t been the case.

I understand that teaching philosophies differ by studio, but Carlos has a way of breaking down complex techniques in manageable steps for the kids to follow. At times, I sit back and wonder why the drills are constantly repeated, only to be impressed with the “ah-ha” moment when the moves click and get pieced together with some other technique. Although a grappling art and very physical, he puts the safety of the kids 1st and is diligent in how he matches students and is attentive to their skill sets and abilities. The 2-week free trial is key as it allows you enough time to assess if your kids are taking to it…mine certainly did and we haven’t looked back yet.

Professor Carlos Terrinha is an absolute gem. My 7 year old son, Gavin started with the 2 week trial classes and I was immediately impressed with Carlos’ patience and knowledge!
Each child gets a very in depth, step by step breakdown of each move in a way they can understand. He is an extremely kind man as well and you can tell how much the kids respect him.
I HIGHLY recommend this class for children and I can guarantee it’s the same for adult classes.

I've been training under professor Carlos Terrinha for 7 months months now. It's a real honor to be able to learn from someone with so much experience and knowledge. If you want to learn how to defend yourself or just lose weight and get stronger professor Terrinha is the one to learn from. He's built a amazing atmosphere that welcomes all new comers to experience a life changing martial art from a true master.

I'm not local, but I had he pleasure of training with Professor Carlos. He is truly amazing and authentic BJJ instructor. He is patient with his students and truly cares about you mastering each move. If you are local to his school, you must give yourself a favor and come learn the best martial art from the top instructor in the field.

I've been training with Professor Terrinha for nearly 4 years. You won't find a better BJJ instructor in Mass. nor a better group of people to train with. If you're looking to get in shape, build self confidence, learn to defend yourself and have a great time while doing it come in and try a class. You'll be glad you did.

I've trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Carlos Terrinha for over 10 years. Carlos is an excellent teacher who makes the complexities of Jiu Jitsu approachable for all levels. Carlos's competitive record speaks for itself with a long run of success at the highest levels of the sport. The academy and students are laid back and easy going. Novices and experienced practitioners alike are treated with respect at all times. If you've always wanted to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, give Carlos a call or just show up at the academy one night.

I joined Carlos and the team 4 years ago and since then I have learned the importance of friendship , mentorship and leadership ( the last one you especially see in competitions , where Carlos will guide you to victory!) .
His style of BJJ is great- a lot of pressure and techniques that most BJJ schools lack. He will correct you and show you the right ways.
