🎉 3 YEARS OF VACA BJJ & MMA! 🎉

What an incredible day celebrating 3 years of Vaca BJJ & MMA and the birthday of our head coach, Alexandre “Vaca” Moreira! 🥋🎂

Every year we continue to grow, but what makes us the proudest isn’t just the number of students—it’s the amazing people who walk through our doors. We are building a team filled with good people, positive energy, respect, and a true family atmosphere. That is what makes Vaca BJJ so special.

To every student, parent, family member, friend, and supporter who has been part of this journey: thank you! You are the reason this community keeps getting stronger every single year.

A very special thank you to my good friend Big Dan and his family. The birthday video from your kids truly meant a lot to me. It was incredibly thoughtful, brought a big smile to my face, and is something I’ll always remember. Thank you for taking the time to make my day even more special.

As you can see, we truly have something for everyone—kids, teens, adults, competitors, beginners, and law enforcement. If you’re 5 years old or older, there’s a place for you here at Vaca BJJ. Come learn world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, build confidence, get in shape, learn to defend yourself, and most importantly, become part of a community that supports and lifts each other up both on and off the mats.

A huge thank you to Team Kimura for all of the support throughout this journey. We are honored to represent such an amazing team.

Here’s to the next chapter! We can’t wait to continue growing together, welcoming new families, and creating even more memories.

Açoita ! 🤙🥋
