Stand Strong World Tour 🇺🇸 🇰🇷🇯🇵

Valente Brothers and Stand Strong came together in South Korea and Japan to share jiu-jitsu for self-defense, learn from fellow practitioners, and strengthen friendships through training.

From the mats in Seoul to teaching Japan’s 32nd Infantry Regiment, visiting the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Kodokan, and sharing knowledge at Axis Jiu-Jitsu Academy, each stop brought new opportunities to teach and learn.

Stand Strong founder Ted Schwartz joined us on the mats throughout the journey, putting into practice the mission he supports.

Thank you to our hosts for welcoming us with such generosity and respect.

Different countries. One shared purpose. Self-defense. Confidence. No place for hate.

A look back at a day of training with the Miami Beach Police Department’s SWAT team at Valente Brothers headquarters.

The team conducted tactical entry and hostage-rescue scenarios throughout our facility. We also had the opportunity to teach jiu-jitsu adapted to their responsibilities, including simple, effective arrest and control techniques, as well as defensive tactics for situations in which physical survival becomes the last resort.

For over 30 years, Valente Brothers has maintained a close relationship with South Florida’s law enforcement community. Our approach recognizes that officers face demands that differ from sport jiu-jitsu and civilian self-defense. Their training must account for the responsibility to protect themselves, bring subjects under control, and safeguard everyone involved.

We are proud to contribute to the preparation of those who serve our communities.

A difficult question. A sharp criticism. A moment to choose your response.

Jiu-Jitsu teaches us to maintain balance under pressure. That lesson carries into our conversations: listen carefully, recognize the premise, and respond with clarity and firmness.

We call this verbal Jiu-Jitsu. Through the 753 Code, we explore Fudoshin: the composure to keep your judgment clear when emotions run high.

Swipe through for lessons that go beyond the mat.

Read “Verbal Jiu-Jitsu: The Art of Staying Calm Under Pressure” in our 753 Code Diaries at valentebrothers.com/diaries.

What helps you stay composed during a difficult conversation?

I made this video more than three years ago, when Antonio was not yet two, but for some reason I never shared it.

My father began learning jiu-jitsu as a young boy. It had such a profound impact on his life that he made sure it became an essential part of our education as well, under the guidance of our teachers. For us, it was never a hobby or simply a sport. It taught us self-defense, discipline, confidence, respect and responsibility.

Antonio is five now. Beyond the training itself, jiu-jitsu has given him the opportunity to grow up around the school, our students and, of course, my brothers. Laura has supported this from the beginning, and together we are doing our best to continue that tradition with him.

Congratulations to Valente Brothers Brickell.

This beautiful boutique school is a strong expression of our architectural standards. Exposed concrete, natural light, warm woodwork, royal-blue tatami, complete wall and column protection, secure lockers and private showers come together to create a safe, clean and thoughtful environment for the teaching and practice of Jiu-Jitsu.

We are proud of Professor Carlos Villares and everyone who helped bring this school to life.

When we built Valente Brothers Headquarters, we gave a great deal of thought to the environment. The concrete, wood, glass, natural light and surrounding vegetation were chosen to create a place that felt strong, calm and welcoming. But the building itself was never the purpose. What mattered was what would happen inside it every day.

From our father and our teachers, we learned that jiu-jitsu cannot be taught through an assembly-line approach. Teaching requires presence. It means knowing the students, understanding where they are in their development and helping each one progress. This applies to a child entering the mat for the first time, a white belt beginning the journey and an experienced student who has practiced for many years.

We built this headquarters so that we could remain on the mat, teach every day and maintain that direct connection with our students. As Valente Brothers has grown, this principle has remained unchanged. Every teacher entrusted with our method carries the same responsibility: to teach with attention, patience and personal example.

The materials and architecture form the building. The daily relationship between teacher and student is what makes it a school.

Miyamoto Musashi wrote that he passed through more than sixty contests without defeat. Yet his most enduring lessons were not about defeating another man.

COURAGE
BENEVOLENCE
AWARENESS
FLOW
RECTITUDE

The greatest victory begins within.

Which of these five is the hardest to live by consistently?

The 753 Code: Spirit. Body. Mind.

After Grandmaster Helio, Royler was the teacher who most influenced our Jiu-Jitsu development.

Our memories with him span many years and places: private lessons at his home in the hills of Copacabana; more lessons at his house in Los Angeles when he lived there in the early 1990s; training with him at Vasco da Gama, inside the Estádio de Remo da Lagoa; and, of course, countless hours at Colégio Padre Antônio Vieira, the historic home of the Academia Gracie that became known as Gracie Humaitá.

Grandmaster Helio deeply admired Royler’s ability to teach students of every age and level, especially his rare gift for private lessons and for working with children. Royler’s warmth, playful sense of humor and positive energy made learning enjoyable and natural. Yet when it was time to prepare for fights, that same lightness was matched by remarkable focus and intensity.

We had the privilege of helping Royler with his preparations, accompanying him on trips and, later in our lives, training side by side with him as he prepared for some of his fights. Those experiences gave us lessons and memories that went far beyond Jiu-Jitsu and remain an important part of who we are today.

Royler, thank you for every lesson, every laugh and every example. It is always a privilege to be with our teacher. We look forward to seeing you here in Miami this September.
