Team Third Law wakes up in Lisbon, Portugal on the first morning of the European Open Championships

After along journey from Fort Myers to Toronto, Canada, across the Atlantic to London and then finally to Portugal, the first three competitors from Third Law arrived in Lisbon on Wednesday morning. Today, Thursday, Coach Joseph Formica and Joey Ruggiero start off the day in their respective blue belt divisions, alongside competitors from fellow Team Lloyd Irvin School Crazy 88 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Here, check out a time-lapse video of the venue begin set up by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation:

Today, Master Roberto left bright and early from Fort Myers, traveling to meet up with his teammates. Katy Torralbas will fight on Friday in her blue belt division, and Master Roberto fights with the brown belts on Saturday.

It’s super exciting for Third Law to be sending four competitors to this tournament in Europe — Master Roberto has gone in previous years, but this makes Third Law the first Southwest Florida school to send multiple competitors to the International Brazilian Jiu JItsu Federation’s European Open Championship!

If you’re a current student, don’t forget, that the school will be closed Thursday, January 26 through Sunday, January 29. Classes will resume on Monday, January 30 as usual.

We are super excited and proud to have the opportunity to send competitors to this event to represent Team Lloyd Irvin at the European Open, one of the biggest and most competitive tournaments held each year by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation.

I started training here as a beginner in the adults class about seven months ago, and knew right off it was a worthwhile investment of time and... money. My teachers are outstanding, providing a friendly and intellectually stimulating (and occasionally full-crazy) atmosphere. The classes are physically and mentally demanding, but I love it. If you enjoy the challenge of a rigorous workout, or a late-night theological debate, or fighting for your life, Third Law is for you. Give it a shot.read more

My son 11 year old Logan has been going to 3rd law for about 10 months now and we really love the program they have. Master Roberto and Coach Joe... are no nonsense men who are teaching these kids to defend themselves, be respectful, sportsmanship, and dramatically improving the kids confidence, physical endurance and fitness, and their balance and coordination. 3rd law teaches Judo/Jiu Jitsu on Mon and Wed nights, Wrestling on Friday and Saturday, and Boxing on Saturday as well. Boxing is my sons favorite. My son is very tall and skinny and a bit uncoordinated, it took him about 6 months to get the moves down in each discipline but now we are seeing very dramatic improvements and he is very pleased with his own performance. 3rd law is a fun but tough program that reminds me of my time in the Marine Corps, I mean that in a good way. My wife and I would absolutely recommend 3rd law to any parent interested in teaching their child to defend themselves, or just be in a fun challenging sport.read more

My entire family has a membership to this gym. From 4 years old to 30 years old. The facility is top tier, the coaching staff are always friendly and... professional, the community and curriculum they’ve built inside those 4 walls is complete and competitive. From your first day to your last you will always receive the highest level of instruction and advice. This gym is single-handedly creating intelligent, responsible and capable athletes. The lessons you learn will affect you positively both inside and outside of the gym. I cannot say enough great things about this gym and how much it will be missed when I move.

I was visiting Naples on a business trip. I considered a few other schools to visit, but I didn't receive a welcoming vibe from the other schools. I... called Team Third Law Academy and was invited to attend the class for that evening. I had a long day of meetings, and was running late so I called and let them know I wouldn't make it, I didn't want to disrupt their class, but they insisted that I was still welcome and that I come. Once I arrived, I was greeted at the door by coach Formica who immediately invited me onto the mat, and introduced me to an awesome training partner. The coach was thorough, my partner was considerate, I had a great time. After class, I had an opportunity to roll with coach Formica and Professor Roberto Torralbas. They were both tough skilled BJJ practitioners. Everyone at the school was welcoming. They told me continually, that they were my home away from home.If you live in the Naples are make this your home! Visit this school before you commit to any other school in your region. Professor Torralbas and his wife are graduates of Cornell University, and have an after school program geared providing a value added academically enriching opportunity for youth.Make sure you visit them before you decide on a BJJ school in the Naples area. You will love it!!!read more

I am a mother of 3 kids and I have been using their services for the past 3 years. All I have to say is that they have been phenomenal, they have... treated my kids as their own and have been extremely responsible with everything that they do and offer. The facility is extremely well kept and it’s honestly such a joy to see my kids burn off some energy and most importantly have the time of their life with so many of their friends that they have made because of the teams. I recommend them to everyone because I truly stand by what they are for and i wouldn’t be writing this review if I didn’t. Y lo mejor de todo es que hablan español 10/10!!read more

My husband and I signed up our very energetic but shy 6 year old sons. We needed aftercare for them but with constructive guidance and discipline... while learning a sport. We were pleasantly surprised when we went in for orientation to note that they do pickup from school and help with homework. The added perk is that they are available and open to you on early release days and days when schools are closed. As very busy working parents this Academy is a life saver. My younger son was extremely shy and would not initially participate in activities. Coach Joe was very encouraging and patient with him and now he loves his Martial Arts. Not only are our children safe but they are very happy and disciplined while learning lessons that will aid them not only with academics but with life in general. My very introverted sons are now more extroverted chatterboxes. I highly recommend Third Law Academy, Master Roberto, Coach Katy, Coach Joe and Ms. Mila are a Godsend for those of us without family support.Gillian and Miguelread more

Our son has thrived here. Outstanding coaches with a thirst for education and adherence to a code of honor. He started in the Ji-Jitsu class and... then went into the afterschool program and the summer program. He is a 1st grader reading at a 4th grade level and his math skills are off the chart. There is no better spent money that at Team Third Law. It could easily be called Third Law Family. Because that's the way you are treated.read more

I started going to Team Third Law for martial arts training, and was welcomed by the students and staff. They have expansive facilities and are... thoroughly equipped to teach adults as much as they are willing to learn. As soon as my wife and I felt our son was ready, he too was enrolled, and if I thought the adult program was great, the kids programs are over the top. The level at which the instructors are able to engage the children is staggering. My wife and I are very impressed. Since then, I have also started to do strength training and my wife intends to enroll in martial arts as well. Couldn't recommend Team Third Law enough!read more

Assisting and supporting you through your journey in the Art of Combat Sports.Finally, the people are just as fantastic. This IS NOT an all out, stereotypical, gym.

Joining Team Third Law was the best decision I have made since moving to Naples. It is exactly what I was looking for in a martial arts school. On... top of having a great adults program, the kids programming is exceptional as well. If I had kids they would be in this program as soon as they were old enough. I refer friends to the kids program for their children. I would refer Team Third Law to anyone who's looking to compete, to someone just looking to learn some self defense skills. It has an element for everyone, without the intimidation factor that you find at other facilities. This is a warm, but hardworking environment .read more

I was in town for a few days and was able to drop in for a night. The school was large and well lit, with a lot of mat space. The instructor was... extremely welcoming as was the team, and I felt included in everything. I was having some trouble with the finer details of some of the technique, as my home gym uses a much different guard-passing system, and a brown belt helping with the class took the time come over and point out where I was going wrong. At the end of class I got to roll with a blue belt (same as me) and he was extremely tough with an awesome bottom half guard, which I could not pass to save my life. The instructors invited me back the next day, but I could not due to time constraints. Overall, I was very impressed, and had a great time training at third law.read more

Third Law is a great place to train in Naples. I had the pleasure of visiting while on vacation. Coach Kathy started with the grand tour of this... sprawling facility with three separate mat areas. Roberto Torralbas teaches a very detailed beginners class followed by rolling and advanced (which could have gone to 1am and most often does). I had a blast rolling with both Coaches Joey and Joe. They pushed the pace to make sure I stayed on track for my upcoming Fight to Win match. I'll be back soon.read more

The facility itself is very clean with tons of mat space but the most impressive part was the level of instruction from both Roberto and Joe. I have trained at a lot of different gyms while on the road and this is one I will make an effort to return to.

I walked... in and literally every single person greeted me with a handshake or a pound. Joe the instructor was super friendly and was kind enough to grapple with me at the end of class. Really great experience and I hope to swing through next time I'm in the area. Great place.read more

I will never forget the day that Mario and I found out about team third law and we had our first orientation. I thought we were just going to watch a... video and just fill some papers . boy was I wrong ! From the very first day we were introduced to the mats and some starter techniques and of course I was freaking out. We always went to the gym and worked out before but this sport just seemed scary but we gave it a try . Let me tell you these are the friendliest down to earth people I have ever met and they made us feel just at home . If you have never done any sports before don't worry they will have patience with you because I know coach Katy and Master Roberto have had more than enough patience with me and you will never feel pressured or embarrassed . I can honestly say team third law blessed us and opened the door to many opportunities and great friends.read more

Came in on a 6 week vacation looking for a workout. Had done just enough BJJ in the past to hurt myself. I met Coach Joe after looking at 3rd Law... website. He was friendly and kind at sign up. I'm an old man but in good shape. I was pleased to find there were other fogies in there. The workouts are great, Joe being my main Coach. The other students to a person are pleasant. After the hour long flow drills there is a half hr of grappling. I last about 10 minutes now compared to 1 minute 5 weeks ago. I've learned that BJJ is a marathon not a sprint. I plan to continue at 3rd Law as I transition from a Yankee part timer to a FLA resident. Master Roberto has a great program with excellent facilities and instructors including Joe, Joey and Katy. Old or young, male or female, rookie or expert, you can't go wrong with Team 3rd Law.read more

There is a old saying that you can tell a lot about someone's character by how they treat strangers. I've trained in BJJ schools all over the country... due to work travels and vacations, and I can say that I've never had a warmer welcome than I have had at Third Law. They are extremely friendly and professional, and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects they teach. The BJJ instruction alone is absolutely first-rate. If I lived here full time I would join this school in a second, and I would encourage my friends to enroll their kids here in the various kids programs as well. Master Roberto works very, very hard to instill the most critical knowledge and values in everyone with whom he trains, adults and kids alike. You will become a better person in every way- certainly better physically and mentally- by training here.read more

I came down to Bonita Springs for the Thanksgiving Holiday and i wanted to get some training in while i was there. I looked up a few school in the... area and decided to try Third Law. I knew from the initial phone call that this school was going to be good. I explained that i am a brown belt and i wanted to stop by for a class, Katie was very friendly and personable and she even let me train free of charge! The school itself is very impressive with tons of mat space and nice faculties. The class was around 2.5 hours long, which i did not expect, but was very informative and fun. Professor Roberto is a true professional and excellent at what he does. He made me feel welcome and i never felt like i had a target on my back like some other schools might do. The competition was also impressive, there are defiantly some monsters in the school but professor Roberto will match you up based on skill level so it's fair for everyone. This place is a 5 star school and i would recommend this school to all of my BJJ friends.read more

My family and I come down to Naples from Michigan every November to visit family. The first time I started training at Third Law was in 2009. The... entire staff is knowledgeable beyond compare. Everyone who works and trains here is very friendly and helpful. Every year I come back they all remember me by name. At my home school in Michigan I always talk about Master Roberto, coach Katy and both coach Joey's. They have the perfect blend of teaching, training, drilling, flowing and the right amount of competitiveness for every student. They have a peaceful outlook to compliment the rest of the atmosphere. I can't say enough good things about this place. World class jiu jitsu! You're missing out if you're not here!read more
