Today is Saturday, and the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in California hasn’t even finished yet, and the black belts only start competing today. However, mathematically, we are already world champions for the sixteenth time, an extraordinary achievement since we have won 16 out of 30 editions.
I never could have imagined that after leaving the Gracie academy and opening my small gym in Ipanema, we would go on to win the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship 16 times with the creation of Alliance in 1993. Congratulations to everyone involved, from our teachers and athletes to my INSEPARABLE black belts, and partners Fabio and Alexandre, who believed in our dream of building this powerful team together.
Thank you for everything 🙏❤️ Hoje é sábado e o Mundial de Jiu Jitsu na California ainda nem acabou e os pretas só começam a lutar hoje.
Porém matematicamente já somos campeões mundiais pela décima sexta vez, um feito extraordinário já que de 30 edições ganhamos 16 vezes.
Nunca poderia eu imaginar que ao sair da academia Gracie e abrir a minha pequena academia Jacaré Jiu Jitsu em Ipanema até o surgimento da Alliance em 1993 ali mesmo conquistaríamos 16 x o campeonato mundial de Jiu Jitsu, parabéns a todos envolvidos desde os nossos professores e atletas até os meus INSEPARÁVEIS faixas pretas Fabio e Alexandre que acreditaram no nosso sonho de construirmos juntos essa poderosa equipe.
Obrigado por tudo 🙏❤️

Congratulations to our newest black belt Mongo ! He is not only a total animal, he’s one of the best training partners in the academy. He is everything an Alliance black belt should represent: dedicated, motivated, respectful, extremely hard worker and most importantly a great person.
Welcome to the club Mongo! We are all very proud of you! 🦅

One thing we value at Alliance Minneapolis is fundamentals.
Real fundamentals.
Every position creates space.
And that space must be filled with the correct action.
If you don’t understand that,
you’re just reacting.
A lot of Jiu-Jitsu today forgot this.
We didn’t.
We train the foundation.
Because when the foundation is strong,
everything else becomes simple.
