The international growth platform for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

BJJGO helps governments, federations and academies develop Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu internationally. We bring Brazilian academies, qualified professionals, structured training and investment to the markets and communities ready to grow the sport.

01 / GLOBAL INITIATIVE

The Global Opportunity

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. New academies, federations and sports programs are opening in every region, and they all need the same things: qualified instructors, proven training methods, institutional credibility and access to investment.

BJJGO connects these growing markets with Brazil, the home of the sport and its deepest base of knowledge. We organize international seminars, develop instructors and sports managers, support the creation of academies and training centers, and build the partnerships that turn local interest into lasting, well-run sporting and economic activity.

We are a development and cooperation platform.

We work alongside federations, public authorities, academies and companies to build the sport internationally, with solid structure, clear governance and measurable results.
