Our History,

The Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu history is a merge between Saulo and Xande’s path through Jiu-Jitsu. They created a method that is the blend of the root Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the modern sport Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The Ribeiro brothers blend the code of conduct of the ancient Martial Arts with the creativity and evolvement of the sport today. We keep our roots and fundamentals and still stay connected to the evolution of jiu jitsu.

The Ribeiro system has been proven through the years during the World Championships. In the first phase we have Saulo, who during so many years, stood at the top of the chain, being one of the greatest of all times. When it was thought that his reign were over, his brother Alexandre was responsible to take the Ribeiro flag. Xande has become accomplished fighter in hi own right, winning multiple world titles in the heavyweight division and two world absolute titles. The Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu can be seen in all levels of the sport. In submission fighting, the Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu set the standards and accomplished several world titles in the ADCC world championships. Together the brothers have over 12 world titles among federations that rule BJJ and Submission Fighting.

But not only from accomplishments was Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu formed, the well structured and family oriented ideals, make the Ribeiro brothers an example as they carry the flag of Jiu-Jitsu around the world, through seminars and workshops, or simply their students all over.

Based on that the Ribeiro brothers founded the UNIVERSITY OF JIU-JITSU, which is an institution of ground work techniques and jiu jitsu development. Bringing to the modern times the old standards that have been forgotten by several other schools.

With this background, the Ribeiro brothers pass on the true meaning and understanding of JIU-JITSU, as an art, a sport, a fitness option or simply as a way of life. With these ideals we bring to the modern society aspects of human relationships such as Loyalty, Honor, Discipline, Attitude, Respect and Humility. This is what we mean when we teach our students the way of Jiu-Jitsu, making them better students, fighter or simply a better human.
