This is a jiu-jitsu dojo, not a weights gym
Set your expectations before you go. Nobody in these reviews mentions treadmills, benches, or a cardio floor. Mohamad Jehad Jiu-Jitsu Club in Sao Leopoldo is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy, a mat and a coaching team, and the reviews only make sense read that way. The oldest one, from October 2018, calls it "the best dojo I know. Professionals committed to spreading martial knowledge, creating a socio-educational environment and seeking constant growth. Oss" (translated from Portuguese). If you came looking for a place to train for a marathon or grow your bench, this isn't it. If you want to learn to grapple, keep reading.
What the strongest reviews actually cover
Two things come up that tell you who this place serves. First, kids. A January 2022 parent wrote, "my kids do jiu-jitsu there. I'm very satisfied. Congratulations on the work" (translated from Portuguese). That's a family-program signal, and it's a different reader than the solo adult beginner.
Second, self-defense as a standalone offering. An October 2019 review said, "I did the self-defense seminar they offer. From 0 to 10 my grade is 1000" (translated from Portuguese). So beyond regular BJJ classes, there's at least occasional seminar programming. And a recent April 2026 visitor described the space itself: "very beautiful place, spacious and functional. High-level technical team. I was super welcomed" (translated from Portuguese).
What the 4.8 measures, and what it doesn't
Seventy-nine ratings averaging 4.8 is a genuinely strong number, and the written reviews match it, welcoming, well-coached, clean space. But here's the honest limit. Every quoted review is five stars and short on specifics like class times, belt curriculum, or price. A high average on a martial arts academy usually reflects a tight community that shows up for each other, which is a good sign for atmosphere but tells you little about whether the schedule fits your week. I'd treat the number as evidence of a healthy room, not as an answer to your logistics.
What's missing
No review states a price. None lists which classes run for adults versus kids, or which belt levels train when. For a BJJ academy, mat schedule is the whole planning question, and it isn't here. I won't invent one. The good news is the posted hours give you a frame: Monday through Friday 6:30 to 21:30, and Saturday 9:00 to 12:00. That's a wide daily window, but wide hours don't mean classes run the entire time, so the specific mat times still need a call to +55 51 99180-8630.
Who it's not for
If you want to lift weights or do cardio, this is the wrong listing. If you're an adult who wants a trial and needs to know exactly when beginner classes meet, you'll have to ask, because the reviews won't tell you. But for families wanting kids' BJJ, or anyone after a welcoming grappling room with an experienced coaching team, the signals here are consistent and warm.
