What's up amigos?

Train BJJ in Rio is in the process of creating the ultimate academy guide to Rio de Janeiro. It's going to be the most comprehensive guide to BJJ gyms in Rio out there, and seeing as right now it's the ONLY one out there, that means we're number 1!

Our academy guide currently features some of the best known gyms in Rio, and we'll be updating it as regularly as possible with new schools. If you would like us to feature a specific gym please let us know.

If bookmarking the site is too much difficulty for you then sign up to our newsletter. We promise you won't get spammed Lloyd Irvin-style.

Go take a look and get started with the first of our academy profiles (click the images)

Gordo Jiu-Jitsu

Gracie Barra

Escola de Jiu-Jitsu

More coming soon!

shen 344 Edited: 10/24/12 2:05 AM Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 18830	If you didn't mind, could you mention a little about Evolve? It a team or what? I believe Gordo /Dennis teach out of Evolve in Rio --is that correct? I'm going back to Singapore in the spring and I understand there is an Evolve there --which blows my mind because last time I was in Singapore, the highest ranking BJJ guy was a Purple Belt! Just curious, thanks! You have ignored this user.

Hey Shen, I train at Evolve in Singapore (taking a break to heal a torn rotator cuff at the moment). Great facility, great instructors (Leandro Issa, Zoro Moreira, and many more BBs from Brazil). And it's not unusual to go to randoori and roll with Aoki, Rafael Dos Anjos, even Rich Franklin. Dan Henderson is here training now. Anyhow, if you want to know more, send me a note. Phone Post

Hywel Teague 59 Member Since: 1/25/03 Posts: 290	GM Shen, Gordo's & Evolve weer once linked but not any more I believe Gordinho (Gordo's brother) was a business partner with Evolve when they launched, but as far as I know that ended when he came back to Brazil last year. There is no link between the two gyms now. You have ignored this user.

Nova Geração is already written, I'm just waiting on prices and a timetable before posting it... Will email Toco tonight

I live 10 min from Braga's academy, will do that ASAP. Been wanting to check it out for some time

Alves is back in Rio in the 5th Nov and I'm visiting him soon after... Been to his academy once but it was last year

Manimal I've heard of but don't know him, will find that out ASAP.

And I'm def going to check out Martins. I won't lie he was a new name for me - thanks for the heads up :) Phone Post

BenBJJ 94 Member Since: 11/11/02 Posts: 25330	Fabricio Martins is an Oswaldo Alves 6th degree BB. I heard he and Renzo used to street fight back in the day. I didn't train there, but did drop in with a BB friend from there, but class wasn't on. Seems like a tough, old school academy. On the main road of Copa. You have ignored this user.
