Erick Tavares is an outstanding coach. He clearly has the knowledge and experience. When I tried out his class for the first time I was very nervous, but Erick along with the other professors are very welcoming and kind. They're willing to take the time to teach beginners like myself. If anyone wants to learn good quality jiu jitsu from a trained professional, this is definitely the place.

Dropped by Erick's school on a Friday afternoon and was immediately welcomed in, even, without advanced notice or knowing anyone there. Class was very good and the rolls were tough, and also safe. I picked up a few passing details that were very helpful and one thing to work on that was simple and mind blowing. I highly recommend this school.

Eric was the first black belt I had the privilege of working with. He was one of my training partners back in 2006 when we were both fighting MMA. He taught me valuable moves and concepts that I still use today. He’s a great teacher, a wonderful person and an honorable family man. If you are in the area Loyalty BJJ is the place to be!

We have our 5 year old daughter and 9 year old daughter take classes here, they both love it. Erik is a master at his skill and makes it fun for the kids to learn jiu jitsu. He also teaches the kids respect and confidence! We love it here! Awesome place for a fun birthday party too!

Can not say enough great things. Professor Erick Tavares is a class act, welcoming & knowledgeable are some of the traits that make him such a fantastic instructor. If you are waiting to try a class, don't.. just go, you will not regret it.

I have gone to loyalty for two classes and I will be going back for many more. The professor is so professional. He is also so good at his craft that you just try to take everything in. The atmosphere is a learning and respectful one. Great place to train

I've known Sensei Erick for quiet some time and he is a very old school traditional instructor who will give you his all as long as you give it your all. He goes out of his way to stay longer to teach and will even come in on his days off. As far as monthly dues are concern, Compared to other schools he is by far cheaper and doesn't do contracts which is a huge weight off anyone shoulders. If your interested in learning and want to see what BJJ is about come in for a free class. Great group of respectful individuals all helping one another. Oss

An absolutely great place to train safely for adults and kids. High level instruction in jiujitsu and MMA. The practice environment is friendly , high energy and always welcoming. There is no better way to stay in shape, have fun and learn new skills at the same time. Highly recommended. Make your way here it’s a must try
