Our Journey in Jiu Jitsu
Founded in October 2017, Mauricio Rizzada Jiu Jitsu Academy was born from the collective effort of families united by Jiu Jitsu since 2015. Our founder, Mauricio Rizzada, brought his vision of authentic, traditional Jiu Jitsu—staying true to its roots rather than following modern MMA trends. His focus? Discipline, philosophy, and the values that make this martial art a lifelong journey.
At our academy, we teach more than just techniques—we change lives. Here, you’ll experience more than just physical training. You’ll push past limits, build strong bonds, and develop a resilient mindset. Our philosophy is simple: Jiu Jitsu is a continuous path of self-improvement, where every class is an opportunity to grow.
We foster a welcoming, family-like environment for all levels. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, strengthen your mind, or simply join a supportive community, we’re here to help you achieve your goals—at your own pace, with discipline and dedication.
