I walked into HOA out of shape, overweight, and depressed. Within the first two months I had lost almost 30 lbs. Along with the weight loss came a new sense of confidence and pride that was instilled by Thiago and the entire HOA family. From the minute I walked in the gym I was treated as family. Being new to the area I don’t have many friends here but I definitely have family now. I can’t express how much love and gratitude I have for everyone there. Give jiu jitsu a try! It could change your life!

This is a very clean and modern training facility. This is the school I go to when Im in Philadelphia. Thiego is a great instructor from Brazil. I learn a lot when Im there. Also the school has one of the best mats around. Its state of the art with shock absorbers underneath it. As a older competitor my body really appreciates it. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in trying Brazilian jiujitsu or someone who is highly experienced as well

I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Prof Thiago for over a year. His gym is extremely professional and there are students focused on tournaments, self defense, and health & fitness. He is an excellent instructor and takes the time to help his students improve, regardless of their goals.

This is easily the best gym I have trained at! I only liked BJJ until I came to HOA, now I LOVE IT!!Come hit the mats with us!

I signed up for House of Arts about a year ago. A couple of great guys I know were attending and I knew they would never affiliate themselves with any place that wasnt full of quality people. Those quality people quickly become family when you come to HOA. Every time I walk through the door Im surrounded by some of the best people Ive ever met. These athletes have become family on and off the mats, all thanks to the loving and professional attitude that Thiago portrays. His passion for Jiu Jitsu and family is obvious from the moment you meet him. It shows in his attitude, his teaching, and his facility. The gym is clean and everything about it is top notch. Whether youre looking for your first class or youve been in the game for a long time and want a challenging but fun place to roll, this is where you want to be. And if you join Lous Judo classes or Vinnys MMA, youre sure to become a much better fighter and person.

Thiago is extremely dedicated to his students and his craft, which makes personal training with him a one-of-a-kind experience. HOA is a fantastic place to learn a new skill, meet some new friends, and truly be part of a fitness family.

HOA truly is House Of Arts. Its so much more then just a place to train, learn life long skills and better your health. HOA is my home away from home. We are one big family. We push each other further then anyone of us could have done alone. I get more hype for when my teammates compete then I do for myself. All thanks goes to our coach Tiago. The welcoming environment and structure he has created is second to none. Even more then that the care and dedication he has for his students is most important. When I say he will do anything to help you reach your goals I truly mean that. He cares for us on and off the mats.You want to train HOA is the place to be!You want a welcoming environment HOA is the place to be!!!You want to meet great people HOA is the place to be!!You want to learn life skills HOA is the place to be!!!#HOABJJ #SASTEAM #MIFAMILIA #LOVE
