Welcome to the Official Web Site of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Florida
Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu is the official representation of Grandmaster Hélio Gracie, in Florida. Professors Pedro, Gui and Joaquim Valente started training directly under the Grandmaster at the age of 2 years old in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and were his loyal disciples and protégés until he passed away in January of 2009. At Valente Brothers (VB) we are fully committed to preserving Hélio Gracie’s vision, teaching method, and ideals both on and off the mat.
Our mission is to provide the most effective self-defense instruction in the world by giving students the elements to defend themselves in real life, with no rules, no points, and no time limits. We teach jiu jitsu as a method of realistic self-defense and personal development and not as a tournament sport. Our system has three main objectives. First, the system teaches the most powerful self defense method in the world as proven in the original Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC).
