ABOUT OUR ASSOCIATION
Our Jiu-Jitsu Association is a network of like-minded schools and instructors committed to excellence on the mats and in life. Founded by Professor Juan Pablo Garcia—third-degree black belt with nearly 30 years of experience—our mission is to develop world-class athletes, instructors, and school owners through structured training, mentorship, and community support.
We are more than an affiliation; we are a movement of leaders, educators, and martial artists. From beginners to black belts, from local school owners to international competitors, we walk together on the path of growth, service, and lifelong learning. Join us on the journey to mastering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Endorsed Black Belts
More than athletes, our Endorsed Black Belts are builders of community. They inspire by example, guide with patience, and share their passion for Jiu-Jitsu, helping students of all ages reach their potential both on and off the mats.
