We are incredibly proud to celebrate our master, Sid Jacintho on his promotion to 6th-degree black belt under grand master .m.costa , milestones like these are built on decades of dedication. 24 years as a black belt serving to the art, is the standard we uphold here at Grappling-Lab BJJ. We build on the foundations laid by those who came before us. Osss 💪🏼🔥

Repost :

17 years ago, back in 2009 during my purple belt days at the ADCC club in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪 we were backed by an elite coaching team of seven senior master black belts: Carlos Santos, Suyan Queiroz, Olavo Abreu, Sid Jacintho, Alex Paz, Marcelo Motta, and Ricardo Brandao Fraenkel.

Up to three hours daily grind on the mats inside a system that had been running strong since I started my journey in 2001. No shortcuts, real pressure, discipline, and technique. Forever grateful for those 14 years spent learning, growing, and grinding in Abu Dhabi before moving to NZ.

🔥At Grappling-Lab BJJ 🇳🇿 the knowledge is passed down; the standard remains unshakeable.

Osss 👊🏼

📍Here, the foundations are built to last, systems are engineered to function, and champions are crafted to shine. We provide the blueprint; the drive belongs to the individual.

This is 🔥Grappling-Lab BJJ🔥 shaped in ADCC, Abu Dhabi under a top-tier international coaching team that has sustained excellence and led world-class squads for decades before bringing their experience to us, alongside the guidance of my senior master Sid Jacintho.

We don't just teach moves; we pass down a structured, proven system through our decades of collective international experience.
