In Rio de Janeiro, Carlos and his younger brother, Helio, refined the techniques handed down by "Count Koma" and developed the system known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu soon evolved into a system of leverages that became more effective than its Japanese counterpart. Making it possible for a smaller person to defend himself against a large opponent. With real confrontations proving it effective, again and again, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has proven itself as the most effective form of self-defense in the world. Law enforcement and the military use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as their main self-defense system for hand-to-hand combat.

Our Alliance kids program offers an age-specific “Kids Jiu-Jitsu” curriculum that has been professionally designed for children along with character building tools found only in Martial Arts.
