ACBJJ's training philosophy emphasizes forming not just skilled athletes but also future instructors and leaders in the Jiu-Jitsu community. The academy operates on principles of respect, discipline, and continuous improvement, encouraging students to follow their own path in the martial art. With 28 years of combined Jiu-Jitsu experience and having formed 23 black belts, André continuously seeks technical and psychological development to expand the sport with quality and respect. The academy offers 34 weekly classes across multiple programs designed for different age groups and skill levels, from children as young as 3 years old to adults at all levels.
The head instructor, André Cristofoli, is a black belt with 3 degrees who has dedicated over 23 years to Jiu-Jitsu and has competed throughout Brazil and around the world. He is supported by a team of qualified instructors including Joel Lopes (brown belt) who teaches children's classes, Sanderson de Souza (black belt) who leads adult classes at the Centro location, and Ezequiel Almeida (black belt). ACBJJ's commitment to honoring the history and true meaning of the gentle art is reflected in the academy's constant growth and the satisfaction of its students and community, providing a structure focused on health, safety, and confidence.
