Hello everybody! I’m Raul, your local host at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes, and I’m passionate about this incredible martial art!

With a journey that has unfolded since 2010, I have the honor of training at the iconic Carlson Gracie Club, under the tutelage of renowned master Leandro Boueri: his commitment to tradition and excellence is reflected in each class he teaches, bringing with him the rich history of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Jiu Jitsu, a creation of the visionary brothers Carlos and Hélio Gracie, is much more than a martial art; It is a national symbol and a legacy of achievements. In the heart of the Laranjeiras neighborhood, I train with the team that carries on the Gracie family tradition, molding champions like Victor Belfort, Wallid Ismail and Murilo. This is the essence that Master Leandro Boueri and I bring to his classes, a heritage of victories and learning!

Whether you’re a curious beginner or someone who’s never stepped foot on a mat, Jiu Jitsu classes are designed to welcome everyone. With a friendly approach and focused on mutual learning, we are committed to introducing you to the fascinating universe of Jiu Jitsu, awakening your interest and passion for the sport!

Forget about worrying about equipment, we will provide everything you need. From kimonos to belts, we make sure you are fully equipped to embark on this journey of discovery and achievement!

Classes take place every Tuesday, with a meeting scheduled at 7:45 pm at the Largo do Machado Subway Station. A moment dedicated to overcoming, friendship and learning, where every movement is an opportunity for personal growth!

Don’t miss out on this unique and transformative experience! Join us and discover the power of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Spots are limited, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this passionate community! Book now and be part of this extraordinary journey! Oss!

No. All experiences are hosted in English. Your local host will also speak the native language and act as a bridge to make you feel part of the local football culture — even if you don’t speak a word of Spanish or Portuguese.

Absolutely. Many of our travelers join solo. Our small-group format (often 2–8 people) makes it easy to connect with others who share your love for football and culture. You’ll walk away with new friends from around the world.

For some clubs and stadiums in Brazil, it is necessary to register for facial recognition. Clubs that require this procedure are clearly indicated in the description of each experience.

When booking your seats, the local host will contact you promptly to request the necessary information and guide you through the facial registration process. It is important to highlight that, for these clubs and stadiums, the registration of facial biometrics is mandatory, being the only way to access the stadium, as the ticket will be linked to this identification. Facial recognition registration is a policy of clubs and stadiums, and has no relationship with Homefans and/or local hosts.
