about start
START Academy was founded by two time world champion, Rafael Gordinho Correa, who is located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. His philosophy of teaching is based on creating a family style atmosphere where people can train in a friendly, clean and healthy environment, helping and developing together but always evolving and growing as a martial artist within individual skills and personal limits. Rafael was later joined by his brother, Roberto Gordo Correa, who is now located in Sunrise, Forida.
