Ronaldo “Jacaré “ de Souza is one of the most accomplished martial artists of his era; he’s in the 1% of the most successful individuals in our industry, and I do not doubt that he is going to transfer the same dedication and discipline to create this family-friendly environment to help the community even more.
Ronaldo, Larissa, and the kids will make anyone feel at home at his new gym.
I can’t recommend a better place 🙏
I met Jacare when I was 1-2 as a professional when he was at the peak of his career. Since that day he took me under his wing, countless private lessons, flew me around the world on his dollar, and even let me corner him! I always wondered why he would say…”Phil you will be here soon (the ufc) you need to experience it all!” 5 years later I made it to the ufc. I’ll never forget how selfless he was always helping me grow as a martial artist. Him now opening up a gym is just a testament of who he is! If you want to learn from a champion who cares then you have to train at his academy.
BJJ world Champion/MMA Fighter
Ronaldo Jacaré “The Alligator “is a legend of Jiu-Jitsu and NoGi. For many years he was the top 5 of the biggest mma event of all time, UFC.
He is a reference and idol for the majority of combat athletes. He was the only athlete in Jiu-jitsu to win a world championship final in the absolute category with a broken arm.
From the age of 8 to 16 I had the honor of having Ronaldo Jacaré as my Jiu Jitsu Professor . After a long period, I became a training partner and I am very grateful for all of that.
In addition to being a great teacher, he is an excellent character builder and a true disciplinarian of persistence, dedication, determination and focus. As a professor he was always concerned about the students’ lives outside the mat, school, family relationships and friendships. He has always played a very strong role not only as a professor, but also a very close figure of a father for me.

“God makes each person unique in many special ways. Just sometimes, our brain works just a little differently; it makes us unique. With ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia, life was a challenge for me at times growing up, but then I started training Jiu-Jitsu, and everything changed.
I was clumsy at first, and my attention was not fully there. I had problems with sequencing and following instructions, but with time Jiu-Jitsu gave me better focus, the ability to better process emotions and self control, and the motor skills to quite literally become a multiple-time world champion.
I have seen and experienced how Martial Arts helps kids and adults like myself and my sons, who are also dyslexic. This is what I truly believe; that Jiu-Jitsu can change a person’s life and elevate them to heights they never imagined possible. We strive every day to improve people’s lives and help make their dreams a reality. We want to share this with as many people as possible to help kids grow with their differences into the extraordinary young people they are.” – Jacaré
