Meet The Trainers

Dojo Arts is a proud representative of BJJ Revolution Team! We have been a part of this amazing team and organization for 20 years. Founded in 2000, BJJ Revolution has since become a world-wide leader in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The roots of BJJ Revolution date back to the 1970s in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, the location of the acclaimed Carlson Gracie Academy. Considered by many as the most successful Jiu-Jitsu academy in the history of the sport, the Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Team was the true juggernaut of competitive BJJ and MMA for nearly 3 decades. This school was the flagship for innovation in Jiu-Jitsu and lead by one of the most important and influential figures in history, Master Carlson Gracie.

Training and discovering the teachings, firsthand, from Master Carlson Gracie, creators of BJJ REVOLUTION TEAM, Master Julio Cesar “Foca” Fernandez Nunes and Master Rodrigo Medeiros, became devoted to continuing the traditions that began in their homeland so many years ago. Arriving in America, it was their vision to start a martial arts revolution by spreading the knowledge, techniques, and integrity of Master Carlson Gracie. After 6-National Titles, 10-US Grappling Titles and thousands of families now practicing, history has proven that their methods were, and continue to be, on target.
