In 1992, Professor Roberto Godoi transformed a space at the back of his mother’s house in São Paulo, Brazil into his first Jiu-Jitsu studio. With only a purple belt around his waist, he embarked on a journey that would significantly shape the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu landscape. Through the years, Godoi and a dedicated group of professors who competed under his name – Charles “Duende”, Uelber “Guri”, Julio Pinheiro “Julião”, and Celso Brito – founded G13 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2013.
Believing in the timeless power of solid foundations, G13BJJ has evolved into a world-class Jiu-Jitsu institution. We are not just a school or a teaching methodology; we are a growing family. Our teachers, mostly former students, have chosen to spread our vision, mission, and lifestyle by opening their own G13BJJ schools. Together, we have grown into a community of over 10,000 students, with 100 units in 5 countries, offering a world-class experience for anyone eager to learn Jiu-Jitsu, regardless of age or skill level.
