Coach Paulo Nelson Jr. has an incredible attitude with every class. He greets his students with a smile, and his #1 rule is to make personable relationships with all of his students. The atmosphere with this community is endearing, and everybody wants to see each other improve. There is so much fire in the room every session.Also, I appreciate all the things participants don’t see after every session. Making sure the mats are sanitary and communications are pipelined properly to every student regarding announcements. Coach Paulo and Cassandra do a great job maintaining the gym.

My 10 year old daughter loves training BJJ at Taurus MMA. Coach Paulo and his family were kind, friendly, and welcoming from the very start. If you are considering joining an MMA school for yourself or your kids, look no further. I highly recommend this gym!

My kids take the classes here and they absolutely adore Paulo. He is extremely personable, knowledgeable, and paces the classes well for their attention span. What I really appreciate is how he keeps everything low pressure and fun while still encouraging fitness and discipline. Paulo has such a natural way with kids- it never feels forced or overly strict, just engaging and positive.His wife, Cassie, also goes above and beyond. She’s always checking in on the kids and helps create a really welcoming, family friendly environment. The members here are kind and supportive too, which makes a big difference. It feels like an amazing community, not just a class.

​If you are looking for a gym that perfectly balances elite technical training with a warm, community feel, Taurus MMA is the place to be.​The Atmosphere​From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted by Cassandra, who always has a friendly smile ready for you. That initial welcome sets the tone for the entire experience; you don't just feel like a student or a customer here—you truly feel like part of a family.​The Coaching​Coach Paulo is a rare find in the martial arts world. He manages to be incredibly welcoming and friendly while maintaining a high standard for the skills he teaches, whether it’s Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai.​Encouraging Attitude: He has a way of pushing you to do your best without ever being discouraging.​Self-Discipline: Beyond just the physical moves, he emphasizes the mental game and the importance of discipline in everyday life.​Patience with Kids: His work with the children’s program is nothing short of amazing. To be honest, he is probably more patient with my own kids than I am! He meets them at their level and keeps them engaged and respectful.​The Verdict​Taurus MMA isn't just a gym; it's a home away from home. If you want to learn real skills in a supportive, ego-free environment, I can’t recommend them enough.

Training with Paulo has been one of the most positive experiences. Training with him has made me better at all aspects of life. Over the years training with him, it’s made me more patient and understanding. Physically my strength has increased, I have become quicker, more flexible and stronger in flexible positions. I’m currently a green belt and encourage everyone to get started. Anyone who trains with him will thank themselves later. Thank you Paulo!

I joined Taurus MMA last year and had nothing but great Muay Thai training here with Coach/ Owner Paulo Nelson Jr. I get my ass kicked in a good way and level up each class. You earn your belt here. A lot of great coaches at Taurus i learn from. Great Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Coach Paulo and Coach Joab. World Class coaches. The gym is super clean which is mandatory. Great place to call home.
