Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu

For us, jiu-jitsu is more than a sport. It is a way of life.

A path of self-defense, awareness, and learning how to face obstacles with efficiency, balance, and harmony. Through training, we develop the ability to remain calm under pressure and find solutions instead of reacting with panic or force.

Joaquim Valente on what makes teaching jiu jitsu so special. Every student brings a different challenge. The beauty is in adapting, problem solving, and helping each person find their way through it.

There’s something special about watching your child grow up on the mat.
From his first steps to nine years old, surrounded by the right people, the right values.
This is what it’s all about.

What’s your mission ? At VB we chose to work with our hands, minds, and our hearts 🥋

Thank you for this piece on our school and two of our black belts.

Years ago, we chose survival over sport.
Our greatest honor was teaching the U.S. military.
Grateful to welcome the United States Army back to Valente Brothers HQ today.
Since 1993, we have worked with members of every branch of the United States military.

On November 6th, the Instituto Vencer o Câncer held its annual fundraising dinner and auction in São Paulo, supporting advanced clinical research and improving access to cutting-edge cancer treatments. The event gathered Brazil’s most influential leaders and cultural figures, including the Governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, and the Mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Nunes.

Pedro Valente was invited to speak during the program, sharing a message of resilience, discipline, and the fight for life. As part of the evening’s fundraising efforts, Valente Brothers contributed a full jujutsu course and training experience at our headquarters in Miami, helping generate additional support for patients battling cancer.

A remarkable evening and a powerful night dedicated to saving lives.

Your story is an inspiration to us all. A life defined by resilience, discipline, and benevolence. Together, we stand strong.

Last week, we had the honor of teaching a special class to members of the Florida Highway Patrol SRT team. It was a privilege for us, as we’ve maintained a strong relationship with the law enforcement community throughout our 30+ year history. It was a pleasure to share our knowledge, and also learn from those who dedicate their lives to protecting us.
