Five Rounds Brasil in Brasilia shows 4.9 from 81 reviews, and its five written reviews describe a martial arts academy with a genuinely diverse, community-oriented culture, alongside one specific, detailed complaint about a coach's tone during a trial class.
A Detailed Account of Personal Growth and Community Diversity (translated from Portuguese)
Pedro Henrique Vieira de Melo's review is the most extensive here: "I can list the choice to enroll at FiveRounds as one of the best choices to make in life. I learned to have discipline, self-control, self-confidence, tolerance, and above all humility. At FiveRounds, I experience constant evolution as a human being, because it provokes in students the desire and need to evolve. On Saturdays before training, there is a training partner, a pastor, who preaches the Word, and even being a Roman Catholic myself, I think this initiative is very important. Once, a student felt unwell during training, and I witnessed a scene that today would be considered unusual: a Catholic, a follower of Umbanda, an Evangelical, and a Kardecist standing in a circle holding hands, praying for the health and recovery of that student, who promptly received all available medical assistance." I'd flag that specific anecdote directly, since it's a concrete, first-hand account of genuine religious and cultural diversity coexisting within the same training community, rather than a vague claim of inclusivity.
A Detailed Complaint About Trial-Class Coaching Tone
Michel's review, from February 2026, is a specific, first-hand account of a discouraging correction: he describes taking a trial Muay Thai class after a break, and when the instructor corrected a movement, the instructor asked how many classes he had taken. When Michel answered two recently, the instructor replied that it looked like only one, since everything was wrong. Michel specifically notes he already has three years of Muay Thai experience and holds a yellow belt with a stripe, and while he accepts that correction is a normal part of training, he found the specific delivery unnecessary and demotivating, adding that a coach should be there to correct and guide, not diminish a student. I'd treat this as a specific, credible account of a single discouraging interaction during a trial class, worth weighing against the otherwise strongly positive reviews here.
A Detailed Account of a Visitor's Training Experience
Jonathan Pedrayes's review describes a positive trial experience from a visitor's perspective: "Amazing experience! Everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable, knew how to roll safely! Would recommend to anyone visiting Brasilia or if you're moving there to join. Professor Pedro was amazing, making sure I understood the skill portion and made sure I always had a partner to roll with." I'd note that this account, naming a different instructor, Professor Pedro, and describing a safety-conscious, well-partnered experience, offers a useful counterpoint to Michel's more critical account above.
Accounts of Family-Friendly Scheduling and Overall Culture
Thaynara Cardoso's review, from May 2026, praises the flexibility for families: "The best place to train, you and your family! Flexible schedules that fit into your routine and qualified teachers for everyone, from children to adults." Guillaume St-Jacques's review keeps things brief but positive about the overall training and people.
What's Missing
No review states exact membership pricing. Nothing here confirms whether the specific tone Michel describes from his trial class is representative of regular ongoing classes with the same instructor, or an isolated interaction.
Who It's Not For
Anyone starting a trial class who is sensitive to blunt correction style, given at least one specific, detailed account of a discouraging interaction during a first class back. Anyone who needs exact pricing before joining, since no review gives a specific figure.
