Bitim Grappling Jiu-Jitsu

Bitim Grappling Jiu-Jitsu is more than a school – it's a family passionate about the gentle art, led by Herbert Penido (Bitim). Since 2006, when he began his journey in Raposos, Minas Gerais, Brazil, until becoming a reference in the European scene, Bitim has built a trajectory marked by discipline, dedication, and achievements.

Founded officially in 2023 in Portugal, Bitim Grappling Jiu-Jitsu has grown solidly and today operates on two fronts: a physical unit and a digital platform. The headquarters in Linda-a-Velha, Oeiras (Lisbon), is the heart of the school. The digital platform breaks boundaries, allowing anyone, anywhere in the world, to train with them and access their exclusive methodology, recognized for its effectiveness and authenticity.

The school's master carries nearly two decades of dedication to Jiu-Jitsu. With more than 15 years of experience as a professor, Bitim not only teaches techniques but shapes athletes and transforms lives on and off the mats. Throughout his trajectory, he has trained with great names of the gentle art and established himself as a world reference, both for technical excellence and for his unique way of transmitting knowledge. Even after so many years, Bitim continues active on the mats, competing in major international championships and carrying the school's name worldwide. His major achievements include: Gold and Silver at IBJJF European No-Gi, 11x Portuguese National Champion (IBJJF), 2x Spanish Champion (IBJJF), Triple Gold at ADCC Open, and Gold and Silver at Grand Slam Abu Dhabi.

The gym offers specialized programs for different groups: Kids BJJ, Women's BJJ (exclusive classes with female instructor on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm), Adult BJJ programs with varying frequencies (3x per week or unlimited), and No-Gi grappling. They also provide private lessons, online mentorship, and an online training platform that extends their reach globally. The school's motto "UNS PELOS OUTROS" (One for the Other) reflects their commitment to unity and mutual support within their community.
