At Zen Academy, our Jiu Jitsu program is built on the Origem Brazilian Jiu Jitsu curriculum.
Origem Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded by Coral Belt Guilherme Doria Machado, a student of Grandmaster Helio Gracie, creator of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Carlos Gracie. Guilherme's son, Leonardo Machado, is a 4th dan black belt that has been teaching Jiu Jitsu for over 20 years.
Our classes are guided by Vitor Costa, a black belt under Leonardo Machado (4th dan black belt) and Coral Belt Guilherme Doria Machado. We are proud to be a friendly and inclusive school that welcomes students of all backgrounds, ages and fitness levels.

Nogi
No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is practiced without the traditional Gi, emphasizing speed, control, and wrestling-based grips and scrambles for fluid transitions and submissions.
