Upper Academy Florida is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu school in Hudson, Florida, built around the idea of developing future champions among both kids and adults. It runs gi and no-gi classes for adults, a fundamentals program for beginners, age-grouped kids classes starting at age 4, and daytime homeschool sessions. A weekly open mat gives students extra mat time. The academy is led by Professor Walber Barros, a fourth-degree black belt with more than two decades of teaching experience, and is registered with the IBJJF. Students compete in PBJJF and PAN Kids events and have brought home medals. Newcomers are welcome to try a first class without experience or gear, and law enforcement officers are specifically invited to train. The academy also hosts community open mats and charity events.
