We are proud to be part of Six Blades jiu-jitsu Association. Under Xande Ribeiro,  Six Blades Association was born in 2020 as one of the most promising jiu-jitsu teams. A perfect blend of tradition, high level jiu-jitsu, and strong values, that is the true expression of what martial arts means.
Our values are expressed in the Six blades: Family, Respect, Loyalty, Discipline, Attitude, and Honor. These core values are our base inside and outside the mat.

As athlete Xande Ribeiro needs no introduction. World-renown champion and IBJJF hall of famer, he earned numerous grappling titles, including IBJJF and ADCC World Champion, while earning also the # 1 rank in BJJ Heroes ’Top BJJ Competitors of All Time list, up until 2020. (Read more here).

Now  he brought all that experience and tradition together to found an Association focused on students growth. Our goal is guide students to reach their full potential. With hand-selected instructors, we are a family business in a network with a lot of academies worldwide. Do you know what it means? It means that we are connected with a strong community that supports us. 

In 2018 our head coach Leonel Marra was in a sabbatical year with his family, and has driven through 29 American States and crossed Canada from Pacific to Atlantic. During this period, he visited almost 30 jiu-jitsu schools and could feel the importance to belong to something bigger, sharing a little bit of this feeling and Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle through the video below.

We hope to have you in the family too!
