As a child Isaque met Fábio Andrade on the streets of his community. On several occasions, the (now famous) jiu-jitsu instructor invited Bahiense to try one of his classes but as the youngster could not afford the gear, he repeatedly turned down the offer. That was until Andrade gifted Bahiense with his very first kimono when he was around 10 years old. Under professor Fábio’s guidance, Isaque quickly became one of the sport’s hottest prospects, winning junior world titles with and without the gi (3x), as well as a juvenile Brazilian national title, campaigns that had continuous success as a purple belt. In 2014 Isaque moved to São Paulo (SP) for a month, to be close to his girlfriend and compete in a few international tournaments that were taking place in the famous Brazilian city. While in SP Bahiense kept in shape by training at the Alliance Academy Headquarters with Fábio Gurgel and Michael Langhi . After Isaque returned to Bangu’s Nova União , the relationship between Alliance’s leaders and Bahiense remained. So much that soon the young prodigy decided to move to São Paulo in order to continue his evolution alongside one of the strongest jiu-jitsu teams in the world – a decision fully supported by his mentor Andrade. The change to Alliance gave an extra boost to Isaque’s career, who went on to earn his brown and black belts from the illustrious Gurgel and Langhi. The black belt arriving in December 2016.

While growing up Tamiris was always involved in sports, eventually moving to martial arts at the age of 12, starting with judo (where she didn’t stay long) and shortly after karate & kickboxing. Tamiris came across jiu-jitsu when coach Saulo Barbosa opened a class in the same gym where Silva lifted weights. Although she wasn’t particularly interested in grappling arts, crossing paths with Mr. Barbosa daily and interacting with his positive nature led 18-year-old Tamiris to try a class. Silva was in nursing college when she started jiu-jitsu. Although she had no previous competitive experience in the other martial arts she had practiced, she dove right into jiu-jitsu’s tournament scene. Her talent shined through from the get-go and Tamiris’ performances led her to leave the part-time job she had to focus on her school and her grappling career. In 2019, as Tamiris Silva was approaching the end of her blue belt career after 3 consecutive national titles (2017 white, 2018 & 2019 blue belt rank), the professional jiu-jitsu team Dream Art approached Silva and her teammate, Larissa Martins – who was also rapidly becoming one of the hottest prospects in the sport – to bring in their talent to the DA squad. With their instructor’s consent and approval, Tamiris and Larissa opted to move to the famous squad where they would have better opportunities in the sport. With the support and resources of a big team, Tamiris conquered her first IBJJF world title as a brown belt in 2022, subsequently earning her black belt from coach Saulo Barbosa in June of that year. ## Programs ### Iniciante (Beginner) **Skill Level:** Beginner **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Beginner program with 2 free trial classes, focusing on fundamental techniques like guard positions, escapes, and simple submissions with close instructor guidance. ### Intermediário (Intermediate) **Skill Level:** Intermediate **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Intermediate program for practitioners with at least one stripe on white belt, focusing on advanced techniques, complex combat scenarios, strategic movements, and mental development. ### Avançado (Advanced) **Skill Level:** Advanced **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Advanced program for blue belt and above, focusing on complex techniques, fluid transitions, detailed adjustments for high-level competition, and strategic understanding. ### Kids Program **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** kids **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Children's program emphasizing respect, discipline, teamwork, self-defense, coordination, self-esteem, and healthy active lifestyle in a safe and fun environment. ### Feminino (Women's) **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Women's program offering a welcoming environment focused on personal development, conditioning, self-defense, technique, confidence building, and stress management. ### Competição (Competition) **Skill Level:** Advanced **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** Gi required **Description:** Competition training with intensive methodology, advanced strategies, high-level techniques, physical endurance, mental preparation, and competitive mindset development. ### No-Gi **Skill Level:** Intermediate **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** No-Gi training without kimono emphasizing agility, technique, strength, quick transitions, adjusted positions, body control, and technical precision. --- **Last Updated:** March 01, 2026 **Data Source:** BJJ.Space (https://bjj.space/gyms/brazil/acre/sao-paulo/asa-jiu-jitsu)
