OUR MISSION
FOUNDED AND LED BY RENATO MANGNO (CORAL BELT, MULTIPLE-TIME CHAMPION (IBJJF PAN AMS, US OPEN, ETC.), AND JUDO BLACK BELT), WE COMBINE THE STREET AND SELF-DEFENSE ASPECT OF JIU-JITSU WITH THE SPORT AND COMPETITION ASPECT OF JIU-JITSU TO TEACH OUR STUDENTS IN AN UNPARALLELED WAY.
NEVER GIVE UP ETHOS
STREET SPORTS IS FOR THOSE THAT NEVER GIVE UP. WE TRAIN OUR STUDENTS TO NEVER GIVE UP OUTSIDE OF THE MATS BECAUSE LIFE IS MORE CHALLENGING THAN WHATEVER YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ON THE MATS. TO US AND EVERYONE ELSE HERE, JIU-JITSU IS MORE THAN A SPORT. IT'S A LIFESTYLE.
TOGETHER, LITTLE BY LITTLE, WE ACHIEVE BIG PROGRESS
OUR TEAMMATE CULTURE HAS CREATED A SPECIAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERYONE IS TRAINING TOGETHER TO HELP EACH OTHER REALIZE THEIR BEST SELF ON AND OFF THE MATS. THERE ARE NO EGOS ALLOWED HERE, AND EVERYONE RESPECTS EACH OTHER EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF THEIR BELT.
UNLIKE OTHER ACADEMIES, WE DON’T CARE WHAT COLOR GI YOU WEAR
WE CARE ABOUT WHAT’S TRULY IMPORTANT: NEVER GIVING UP. JUST AS IN LIFE, BAD DAYS ARE EXPECTED, BUT WE PUSH THROUGH TO TURN THEM INTO GOOD DAYS.
