Jiu-Jitsu works you out physically, mentally, and teaches you discipline. As you take the classes you will feel more confident and you will have the techniques to defend yourself in a real self-defense scenario. As you move through your classes you will discover that what you learn is not just theory but the practical application for a real fight.
Please come back every so often to see new answers to questions other students have asked. A: You do not need to do any conditioning or strength training before your first class. You will gain conditioning and strength while learning in class. Most training you do before hand will help a little, but Jiu Jitsu uses more muscles than most exercise alone do.
We had a great seminar in Fortaleza, Brazil that has been going on for 8 years. Everyone celebrated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the 8th year of the seminar. Master Ricardo was present and has been very involved with the seminars. While in Brazil, Master Ricardo taught many different techniques and had an amazing time teaching all the students.
One of the most important skills a person could have is the ability to defend one's self and it's no different from your children. In today's society, bullying is a major epidemic. No parent wants their children getting into fights, which is the reason why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training teaches that violence should only be used as a last result.
We believe strongly in the concept of teamwork and that each instructor and academy contributes directly to the Cavalcanti BJJ International Teams success. Your decision to join the Cavalcanti BJJ International Team signifies your commitment to a team that is synonymous with quality, family, and excellence.

Their Muay Thai coach gets great feed back from students. They laugh, they sweat, they learn. Coach Chavez has been doing Muay Thai for 7 years and teaching for 3 years. There are kid and adult classes daily.
