My son feels very comfortable and loved... Master Tocco, Luciana and the coaches do an excellent job at teaching guiding and mentoring.

I was in town for work and looking for a place to train, Michael answered his phone on a Saturday evening and without hesitation invited me to his gym the following day. Very knowledgeable and gracious staff which obviously rubs off on the students as they were all wonderful to train with and made me feel extremely welcome. If you are looking for jiu jitsu in Davis, look no further.

An absolutely excellent gym. The community is caring, respectful, and positive. A few of us went to see a comedy show together in Sacramento, highlighting the coolness of the wonderful people in the community. The gym takes its style directly from Brazil, and I cannot speak highly enough of Michaels passion and obsession for the sport. He has been constantly upgrading the gym, which made it well worth the time and money. Lots of life lessons were, and will be, learned in this gym.

Ive trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for ten years and Ive never had a worse experience than I had with Mikey and Nova Geracao in Davis, California. From the moment I walked in the door he was rude, pompous, pushy and condescending. Without permission, he grabbed em from behind by the shoulders and forcibly walked me to the various areas of his academy. He pushed me in front of the sign with the rules and flatly said read that, he pushed me to the foot washing station and as if he were speaking to a dog said use that. During training, he constantly complained about arbitrary things like belt tying and constantly interrupted the black belt instructor to insert his own ideas despite being only a purple belt at the time. Ive never met a more rude or narcissistic person in the context of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Also, he constantly rants about politics to anyone in his presence and has a long history of disparaging remarks about police officers and military veterans. Also, the price is $300/ a month to train with an out-of-shape, low skilled, non-accomplished bully. The Art of Jiu Jitsu in Santa Barbara is run by two of the most accomplished world champions in the history of the sport and its $250. The MOST anyone in Sacramento charges for monthly BJJ dues is $150. Please dont train here. This man is a bad person and a poor representative of the art.

I dont usually leave reviews but this place deserves 5 starsgreat service i called to get informed about the place and had the most professional and helpful person everi totally recommend this place for anyone interested in Jiu jitsu

I started training at Nova Geração Davis shortly after enrolling my two kids (8 & 10) over a year ago. The training has been a real positive for both myself and my kids. Their conditioning and general ability in sports have improved quite a bit since starting. BJJ is one of the most physically challenging things I have done; however, it has been rewarding. I enjoy the gym and the fellow students that I train with. Nova Geração Davis been welcoming to all new comers no matter their experience level or age and I highly recommend giving it shot if you are interested.

I have trained at Nova Geração for nearly two years and it has been one of the most positive experiences of my life. The gym quickly became a second home and the people a second family. Everyone is incredibly respectful and works to see that the team, as a whole, improves. The curriculum is challenging, setting a high standard for all students, and will push you to do your best. On the mats, you will find everyone from world champions to occasional hobbyists, all ready to welcome you to the Nova Geração family.

Best BJJ school in town!Great family environment, help my son in every way (mind and body).Master Toco is a legend.

Nova Geracao is not a business in the traditional sense, this is a home for those that choose to make it a home. There is love, compassion, and a genuine concern for one another within those walls. Men and women are able to let go of the outside world and practice Jiu Jitsu in its purest form with Master Toco, whom is arguably one of the greatest men to ever teach this martial art. Lucianna is his right hand, she loves the children and adults as if they are her own family, and puts her heart and soul into every person that enters those doors. You enter Nova Geracao as a student and leave as a family member. Respect, integrity, honor, and discipline are just a few words to describe the atmosphere within the four walls of Nova Geracao. The most amazing result, is that those that leave this school carry a sense of pride and love outside of the school wherever they go, you take this live with you. Nova Geracao is a second home, and its always calling you back. The competition team fights under the Fight Sports flag and are currently 6 TIME BACK TO BACK champions in the Miami open, with many medals coming from within the Nova Geracao school. Come join us and discover a new you.

I started here a year ago, having never done a sport of any kind, let alone a martial art! If you are someone looking to try something super out of their comfort zone: Definitely come here! Professor Quigley is truly excellent at what he does and the gym is an incredibly welcoming place. I can’t believe how far I’ve come and how much I’ve learned in just a year.

Nova Geração is home. My second family! Professor Michael creates an atmosphere where its easy to learn and grow as a martial artist.

Felt welcomed by all for a drop in training session. Great rolling partners, good instruction. No egos. Thank you

Nova Geração Davis is a special place. I started training here as a white belt with my two sons and 6 years later were still going strong and the best part is that my wife joined too a few months ago! Professor Michael Quigley is a unique person that really cares about each and every member. The whole atmosphere is family-like. You will get the highest level of instruction from an official IBJJF black belt! Your overall fitness will improve along multiple dimensions: strength, cardio, flexibility, balance. Youll gain confidence and learn to defend yourself against real resistance. If youre the competitive type youll be challenged every day and you can even test yourself at tournaments and competitions against competitors from other academies. Dont take my word for it, come by and check it out for yourself.

I had no martial arts background before coming here and quickly fell in love with BJJ. Classes are challenging and you will learn to push yourself. Theres a great community of people at this gym, and they all support one another. This place has become a second home to me, and the people here are my family.

Carlson Gracie old school BJJ in Davis, Ca? Yes! Competitor or hobbist, you will be challenged. The camaraderie and family atmosphere became my second home very quickly. Its a great place to train. I recommend you come in and talk to Michael and meet the students!

Ive been training at Nova Geração for just over a year and I love it here. The gym is like a second home and family. It has a fun and supportive atmosphere.The instructor Michael is a great coach and teacher. He is able to push people to fulfill their potential as well as explain the details of jiu-jitsu simply, with easy-to-understand metaphors. This gym is great for competitors - the wall of medals demonstrates the programs effectiveness - and those motivated for different reasons: self-defense, self-improvement, or fitness.Training here teaches discipline, respect, confidence, and humility. I know it isnt for everyone, but for someone serious about learning jiu-jitsu, this is the place to train.Plus the music is great. Good for dancing.

Great, serious, and fun BJJ.
