Amazing content and flawless delivery. Romina is amazing with kids and makes the anti-bullying program at our gym fun and engaging. I received very positive feedback from both parents and kids alike.

Murilo P. || Client re anti-bullying workshops

Romina is wonderful at engaging her students in their BJJ learning. She is a superb role model and highly skilled in her field. Romina brings very positive energy and passion to her teaching, whilst also setting effective boundaries to help children feel safe, quickly learn what is expected, and achieve their goals.

Roni R. || Parent re group classes

It is so clear to see that Romina is not only a true master of the sport, but it is her true passion. Her approach to her lesson plans is always so considered and logical, which allows her to explain techniques, concepts, and tricks in such detail and with such clarity. She can break down complex movements into simple, smaller steps. I’ve never walked away from one of her classes without learning something and without feeling inspired to keep going.

Cindy J. || Client re group classes

Romina's blend of skill, enthusiasm, and care factor ensures that Winnie's BJJ classes and private lessons are nothing but a positive experience. Every class is meticulously planned and private lessons are recorded and shared, so much effort goes into them. It's amazing to have your child coached by someone like Romina, knowing she is in safe hands and has a strong, determined female role model to aspire to. Our BJJ journey with Romina has been two years so far with many more to come hopefully. The benefits in Winnie's approach to difficult or intimidating situations, confidence, and life in general are clear to see.

Chris M. || Parent re private lessons

Excellent-paced private lessons with an in-depth knowledge of each drill and how to reflect the moves in sparring. Also excellent ability to understand the students' strengths and weakness areas. Always positive and this is reflected where at the end of the class we leave feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Houssein H. || Parent re private lessons

Excellent, attentive, involved, and priceless pre-competition sessions. A definite help for my little athlete, and brilliant work from the corner. Exemplary coaching.

Greg N. || Parent re private lessons

I couldn’t praise Romina enough for the time spent doing privates with her in preparation for my first competition. She took the time to find out what I was looking for and interested in from the very beginning, the sessions were clear and well prepared beforehand, she adapted how she taught me based on the feedback of my training throughout the week, and she gave me follow up feedback even after our sessions and the competition were done. Anyone who asks me about privates, I suggest considering the drive to St Peters to spend some time with Romina.

Bec C. || Client re private lessons

Private lessons are amazing! The mentoring and coaching are so valuable. Hamish loves his private lessons because he feels like he learns faster and it builds a bond between coach and student. The videos that Romina provides from private lessons as a learning tool are excellent.

Hamish F. || Parent re private lessons

I have been training with Romina for the last 8-months. She is incredibly talented and knowledgeable, yet humble. Since starting my weekly private lessons with her, my training partners and I have noticed a huge improvement in my game. She has been teaching me smart, modern, and effective jiu-jitsu. She helped me a lot and I’m very happy with the work we are doing.

Overall the seminar was an excellent learning opportunity and I look forward to attending future seminars by Coach Romina.
