2 Brothers BFC - North America

2 Brothers BFC was founded in 1995 in Brazil (Brasília) by brothers Júlio César da Silva Lima (known as "Pudim") and Sandro da Silva Lima (known as "Bala"). Both are students of Master Banni Cavalcanti, who was a student of the legendary Master Carlson Gracie. This is the 2 Brothers BFC lineage. As students of Master Banni Cavalcanti, they represented Banni Fight Combat (BFC) numerous times in jiu-jitsu championships and in true vale-tudo battles, during the era when fighters competed without gloves. The two brothers grew up together in a family of fighters, a large family full of warriors. In 1999, Júlio traveled to Hawaii to meet his friend and training partner Marcelo Tigre, where he spent a significant period and even taught classes at Team Tiger Academy. Upon his return to Brazil, it was Sandro's turn to emigrate to Portugal in search of a better quality of life, with Júlio remaining to lead the team in Brasília. In 2000, in Costa de Caparica, Sandro opened an academy and formed a true army, becoming one of the main responsible parties for spreading Jiu-Jitsu in Portugal. The lives of the two brothers were divided between Portugal and Brazil, teaching and influencing generations of students. Today, the team continues to grow and is spread around the world with over 20 years of dedication to teaching Jiu-Jitsu. The Guadalajara, Mexico location is led by the 2 Brothers BFC team, offering authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training with the traditional lineage from Carlson Gracie through Banni Cavalcanti. The academy maintains the philosophy of "Loyalty makes you family" and welcomes practitioners of all levels.
