Hello, I’m Master Matheus Valentim, a dedicated figure with a passion for Jiu-Jitsu, bringing over 15 years of experience and wisdom to the Gracie Barra community. I am honored to hold the rank of 2nd Degree Black Belt, a testament to the commitment throughout my journey.
As the founder and CEO of Gracie Barra Copacabana, I play the role of coach, leader and teacher for the Gracie Barra Copacabana and Gracie Barra Botafogo teams. Being part of the largest Jiu-Jitsu team in the world is a responsibility I embrace with pride, as we constantly seek to raise the standard and spread the principles of this martial art.
“”On the Jiu-Jitsu journey, every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Persist with passion and discipline, and you’ll see that overcoming is the path to true mastery.”
