Maxim’s Jiu-Jitsu camp in Rio
The history of Jiu-Jitsu originated when Japanese Judo practitioner Mitsuyo Maeda passed on his knowledge to Carlos Gracie. Carlos then taught his younger brother Hélio and together they opened their first school, Portuguese Academia in 1925 in São Paulo Brazil and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was born! The Gracie family later moved to Rio de Janeiro and the art further evolved under their tutelage. The effectiveness of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was brought to the world attention recently with the infamous Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) in the United States, where Royce Gracie defeated challengers bigger and stronger than him representing a variety of other arts using the native Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu developed by his family.
Since then, Jiu-Jitsu’s popularity has dramatically grown and it has become recognized and admired throughout the world as an effective and modern self-defense martial art. Today the Gracie family lives in Rio de Janeiro in the neighborhood of Barra de Tijuca, a unparalleled Mecca of Jiu-Jitsu Academies and home to some of the world’s best Jiu-Jitsu fighters. In Barra, at the Gracie Academy, you will learn from the best! It is no secret that the highest quality training is right here in Rio de Janeiro Brazil—home to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championships.
Training Jiu-Jitsu
Maxim has collaborated with the top Jiu-Jitsu schools in Rio that offer comprehensive instruction in the art, with daily classes ranging from beginner to advanced along with private classes and one-on-one instruction. As part of the curriculum, the Gracie Academy will emphasize traditional techniques in addition to instruction in the overall approach and application of the art under the complete supervision of world class instructors.
To ensure that each student properly learns the techniques and philosophy, each student will receive individual attention and instruction during each class. You will have the benefit of private training sessions with black-belt instructors from the Gracie academy, experiencing top notch expertise with the most dynamic and cutting edge training methods available anywhere in the world. In addition to learning effective self defense, the training will make you mentally and physically stronger. As a student, you will be encouraged to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at your own pace, with safety in mind, while being pushed to develop your coordination, strength and confidence. Perhaps the greatest aspect of training in the Gracie academy is the sophisticated martial environment that serves as a constant reminder that ego is the biggest inhibitor of progress.
