BENEFITS

B
Discipline
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches that true progress comes from consistency. Each training session is an opportunity to strengthen habits, develop focus, and build a routine of commitment that is reflected in all areas of life.
Self-defense
More than just defeating your opponent, Jiu-Jitsu is about overcoming yourself. With each training session, the practitioner learns to overcome fears, limitations, and insecurities, evolving physically and mentally in a continuous way.
Self-confidence
Confidence is born from learning and overcoming challenges. Through constant practice, the student develops security in their decisions and attitudes, becoming more confident, resilient, and prepared to face life's challenges.

On the mat, Jiu-Jitsu demands calmness under pressure. Learning to breathe, think, and act with balance in challenging situations is a skill that translates into everyday life.

TESTIMONIALS
Our students recommend
Yasmin Alves
Two-time Brazilian champion
I'm a student of Professor Douglas Crespo here in Piratininga, and I can say that he has made a huge difference in my life and in my relationship with the sport. Training with him is a privilege—the energy he transmits is unique. The technical content is conveyed with incredible clarity, and you can feel how dedicated he is to each student. Douglas observes, corrects, encourages, and is always present, whether in a casual training session, preparing for competitions, or accompanying every moment on the mat. This attention and connection make all the difference. He truly changed the way I see Jiu-Jitsu and also my attitude inside and outside of training.
Depoimentos
Vitor "Pitbull" Crespo
International Champion
I really enjoy training with Professor Crespo. The positions he teaches are very well explained, detailed, and truly effective during training and in real sparring situations. I can apply them all with confidence, and I've noticed how much I've improved since I started training with him. Furthermore, the professor is very patient, corrects every detail, and instills a great sense of security. Training with him has helped me a lot technically and also in terms of confidence, just as it helped my father. He's a great teacher, an excellent coach, and an inspiring person both on and off the mat.
