"Nilton is fantastic - I'm thrilled to have met him. I'd highly recommend him to anybody who wants to improve their jiu-jitsu game.
First, Nilton's jiu-jitsu is incredible. He is the real deal, an expert at his art and an encyclopedia of positions and techniques.
Second, he has the unique gift of being able to convey his knowledge in an effective and understandable manner. Many high-level martial artists are great competitors but aren't good coaches or teachers. Nilton, on the other hand, has a God-given gift for sharing his knowledge in a fun and easy-to-understand manner.
Third, Nilton's understanding of the mental aspects of brazilian jiu-jitsu have really helped me. By encouraging me to believe in myself, attack more, have confidence in my positions and take risks, and cleanse my mind, Nilton has really helped to improve my game.
Finally, training with Nilton is lots of fun. He's a genuinely humble and kind person who has a great sense of humor, a sharp mind, incredible skills and a big heart. As a result, grueling training on the mat with Nilton seems relaxing and fun!
I look forward to many more hours of training with Nilton, and I hope that others also have the opportunity to experience what an amazing person he is. If you're thinking about training with Nilton, do it -- you'll be glad you did."

"I have been training BJJ now for 9 months and have come a long way. From the beginning and just using strength to win, I now use far more technique than muscle. I have learnt to relax and be able to think during a match. To breath through my nose. I can anticipate my opponents moves and transition well from one move to the next. Training with Gracie Garcia BJJ has made me super-fit, stronger and much more relaxed and confident. For a long time I wanted to train BJJ and finally jumped in. I am glad I did.
Training with Nilton at Gracie Garcia Jiu-Jitsu is fantastic. Nilton is a patient and professional teacher who has dedicated his life to the "gentle art". We train hard at every session and learn so much. The classes are small and taught every time by Nilton which means we can concentrate on the details. Just like having a private training session with a European and World Champion at every class.
All new students are made very welcome. There are no egos at our "academia". Everyone is happy to learn from each other and train with anyone who wishes to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It has a great atmosphere and is like a big family."
