🥋 Traditional Jiu-Jitsu Classes (Old School)

Our Traditional Jiu-Jitsu classes are based on the original essence developed in Rio de Janeiro, preserving the core principles of the “old school” style. They are designed for all ages and levels — from beginners to advanced — with a strong focus on self-defense, emotional control, and practical application in everyday life.

More than just combat techniques, these classes promote values such as respect, discipline, and balance, offering a complete experience that strengthens both body and mind. Here, each student is encouraged to grow safely and consciously, respecting their own pace and limits.


🧘‍♂️ Therapeutic Jiu-Jitsu

Therapeutic Jiu-Jitsu is an innovative approach that combines martial arts with wellness. In carefully guided one-on-one sessions, the focus is on the integration of movement and emotional health.

Ideal for people dealing with stress, anxiety, or those seeking to reconnect with their bodies on a deeper level, this training emphasizes breathing, body awareness, emotional control, and mindfulness.


🧑‍🏫 Personalized Training

Personalized Training is the perfect option for those seeking a fully tailored learning experience. These exclusive sessions are adapted to your technical level, health history, daily routine, and personal goals — whether you’re a beginner, an athlete in preparation, someone in rehabilitation, or a practitioner looking to deepen your knowledge.

With full attention from the professor, you evolve with greater safety, effectiveness, and confidence. The individual approach allows for technical refinement, the development of personalized strategies, and intelligent progress.


📚 Workshops and Lectures

We offer thematic workshops and lectures that go beyond the mat, combining hands-on practice, theory, and the philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu. These special events cover topics such as urban self-defense, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, personal development, and the core values of martial arts.

These experiences are designed for groups, companies, schools, and institutions seeking to apply the teachings of Jiu-Jitsu as a tool for personal and social transformation. Each event is structured to inspire, provoke reflection, and provide practical techniques for everyday life.

Training is Self-Care

True strength begins within. Taking care of the body is also taking care of the mind — and vice versa. The method taught by Professor José Roberto Camargo combines tradition, technical mastery, and deep sensitivity to offer a complete physical, mental, and emotional practice.

Each class becomes a journey of self-discovery and transformation, where students learn not only to defend themselves — but above all, to respect themselves.
