How Jiu-Jitsu is SAVING LIVES in underserved communities

From Junior Fernandes BJJ

September 27, 2026

See how Jiu-Jitsu for Good is changing lives in Brazil. We are creating new opportunities for youth athletes every day.

This video highlights the core mission of our Jiu-Jitsu for Good project in Brazil. We are dedicated to building a path for those in underserved communities by providing essential training and resources. Our goal is to ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed both on and off the mats through the power of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Beyond the training sessions, this project is about fostering a supportive environment where youth athletes can thrive. We share footage of our community involvement and the gratitude of those we support, proving that we can make a lasting impact one kimono at a time.

❤️ JIU-JITSU FOR GOOD
Jiu-Jitsu for Good is our social project dedicated to creating opportunities for children through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Through donations, we help provide Jiu-Jitsu training, gis, English classes, and support for competition expenses, giving young athletes access to opportunities they might not otherwise have.
Our goal goes beyond the mats. We want these young individuals to have the opportunity to build a better future through the sport — whether by becoming high-level athletes, instructors, or even opening their own Jiu-Jitsu academies one day.
🥋 Your support can help change a life through Jiu-Jitsu.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
