Pretty rad experience yesterday hanging with //surfed which felt more like Ke Iki shore break. Broke my board and leash (sorry and )had a killer lunch then went and watched some of Brazil's finest black belt legends in a private home in Rio. What I love about this country and it's people is that they strive and excel at living in the now. Cheers 🇧🇷

This is how we live! This picture was taken at Ilhas Tijucas, during a stand up paddle session, including a stop at the island to dive, explore, or just appreciate the beautiful view from there!

/\ "A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his body and his mind; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply persues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appers to be doing both."
- François Chateubriand

Brazilian Jujitsu may have different meanings in the life of its practitioners, according to the sensitivity and moment of each person, also being influenced by the guidance of one's master. We suggest BJJ as a way of life, an opportunity to connect with others and achieve a deep understanding of you. By practicing the philosophy in our daily life, dealing with frustration in and out of the mat, we face bjj as a way to grow as human beings. In other words, BJJ goes beyond just a sport. Its art, it’s a life style. THE TEMPLE EXPERIENCE, WELCOME TO A NEW PATH!

We believe that balance is an important key to live better. Thinking about it, we decided to provide you a few experience learning about emotions and meditation in our Rio BJJ Experience. Between our activities, we will introduce you into this reality of techniques and theory which can provide you a better way of living. Are you curious?

Do you enjoy SUP? Could it get better if would be in a Caribbean color and refreshing ocean among a great view of rocks and infinite view of the sea? And what if in a sunny day, around people with good energy and after a healthy and vegan breakfast?!
