This is one of the best and most welcoming jujitsu places I’ve ever seen. Eu gênio is a great instructor and even if you don’t speak much Portuguese he still finds creative ways to show and explain to you how the movement or the new skill is done. I love this place so much and I’ve only Been here 3 months, I’ve learned so much and the people here are nothing but amazing, I’ve never had a bad experience here. Brazilian Black Belt is like a family.

Such a friendly and welcoming environment, I would recommend Brazilian Black Belt to anyone thinking about training in Rio. Eugenio is a great instructor, and he has a great team around him. I learnt a lot in the one week I spent there. There is always someone around who speaks English, there are classes every day and the location is perfect. I hope to return one day!

(Translated by Google) Great atmosphere, great teachers! I recommend. (Original) Ótimo ambiente, professores excelentes! Recomendo.

Awesome place, great environment, friendly people and impecable facilities

I started my BJJ journey at Brasilian Black Belt when I was staying in Rio for 6 months. Felipe and his team are extremely helpful and will make you feel at home there. Felipe speaks perfect english, so the classes are usually half half portugues and English. They have a range of levels training there, so if you've never done it before, or are a black belt, there will be training suitable for you. If you prefer smaller groups, can highly recommend training at 10am and 5pm with Eugenio. You can also try your hand at boxing and muai Thai with Binho.

We are on vacation from Houston and were looking for the best jujitsu training available. We found it here at Brazilian Black Belt. Felipe has a great studio and was very welcoming. Felipe is a top notch instructor. I learned SO much on one hour! I would train here everyday if I could. Perfect for beginners all the way up to black belts.

Amazing place to train and learn jiu-jitsu. This gym is great for anyone who comes to Rio de Janeiro and wants to train or get in shape. I am a white belt with barely any experience and no Portuguese, but this gym felt like home. Professor Eugene is very technical and will explain it to you at your level. I recommend this place and can't wait to be back.

(Translated by Google) Sensational, great environment training durrismos and professor Felipe costa is very beast 👏! (Original) Sensacional, ótimo ambiente treinos durrismos e o professor Felipe costa é muito fera 👏!

First ever visit to a jiu jitsu gym in Brazil and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Felipe Costa was extremely welcoming on arrival. Unfortunately I was only able to attend a open mat session but he was extremely friendly and his English was amazing as a second language. I was also honored to be able to roll with him during the session with no egos and a high degree of jiu jitsu skill and knowledge. The rest of his crew also followed suit too . Highly recommended and I will certainly return the next time I visit Rio.

I had a fantastic experience training here as a backpacker from England. Great friendly training partners, many of which spoke to me in English and made me feel welcome. I would highly recommend to visitors of Rio.

An incredibly welcoming gym and excellent instructors, Eugênio and everyone else helped me feel at home despite the language barrier. I'd recommend anyone visiting Rio should stop by

(Translated by Google) Academy with people and techniques of the best quality. (Original) Academia com gente e técnicas da melhor qualidade.

The best place to train un Río. Great fighters and an energy that made me remember why i keep training bjj. Thanks Felipe and all the team mates.

Trained here for a week while on vacation. The coaches are really nice and taught some solid techniques. The mats are clean and there are heaps of tough grapplers to train with of all belt levels and body types. If you don't speak Portuguese, there's always someone there who can speak a little bit of English and they will try to translate as best they can. Excellent location. It's close to the beach, bars and cafes. Ask the lady at the desk for her restaurant recommendations. All the places she suggested were freaking awesome 🤙🏾

Great gym, Ive trained at many bjj gyms in the states and had a great time here. Many higher belts that take the time to help out, I had no problem here without knowing how to speak Portuguese. Learned some great new moves here and saw other foreigners here. You get right to sparring here immediately as class is focused on working technique through actual sparring

Trained there as a guest during my vacation in Rio. One of my professors back home told me they are gonna be aggressive with foreigners in Brazil. The opposite was the case. Everybody was so friendly. Special thanks to Eugenio who really treated my like this was my home gym. He helped me with my portugese and I him with his english. Classes are mixed in both languages as well. Could not say anything bad about this school. OSS 🤙

Definitely a gym to visit if you want to train some jiu jitsu in Rio! Very warm and welcoming atmosphere and great quality teachers. Many people speak English so it is very travelers friendly and all skill levels are welcomed. As a female solo traveler I can definitely reccommend this place! Will visit again when back in Rio.

I love this place. Super knowledgeable professors and good friends to be made. Very accepting atmosphere with people who want to help you achieve your goals

I came looking for a place to practice boxing and muay thai (which are also great!), and was invited to a jiu jitsu class after my girlfriend had already started for a week. It was love at first submission. The way the classes are thaught with utmost care for technique, the level of attention and care by all instructors to all students (veterans, beginners or temporary) and the real and palpable passion for jiu jutsu are just some notable comments about the gym. If you are passing by Rio and Ipanema for a few days/weeks/months, or if you want to practice martial arts, this is the place to be. You will not only learn and grow, but also make new friends, improve your english/spanish/other languages and, of course, roll a lot.

(Translated by Google) great environment for children to learn Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. (Original) ótimo ambiente para as criança aprenderem Jiu-Jitsu e Judo.

I Trained Jiu Jitsu here for 4 months and looking back at my time in Rio, training at this academy was the highlight of my trip. There are lots of friendly people happy to help speaking Portuguese, English and Spanish and it’s very professional when it gets down to it. Great facilities and Perfect location in the heart of Ipanema close to beach and metro. Recommend to everyone. Thank you Eugenio and all.

Since the first day that I wennt in this bjj Academy i felt like at home, The athmosfere it's very friendly but also very professional. I prepared there my first compétition in Brasil, in Rio de Janeiro and I won the gold medal, thank also to Mestre Eugenio that's really i great person. I'm in brasilian black belt since two month and I will continue to stay as long as i can. Thanks for welcoming me here, I suggest to anyone who want to train bjj in Rio tô come there, there're always happy tô welcome everybody!

I was in Rio for one month and had a great experience with Brazilian Black Belt! The instructors Eugenio and Felipe are really great. Eugenio offers a lot of very personalized feedback during classes and is technical on a whole different level. I took a few private lessons with him and was immediately able to apply the techniques even on higher belts during sparring successfully. I tried a few different gyms around Rio, but ultimately stuck with this one because I felt the technique and instruction was the best.

A five star average rating for a reason! This is a very friendly environment, where you get you can get first-rate instruction from a two-time world champion and some other amazing people. Whether you want to have an introduction to self defense or to improve your Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills, this is the place to visit in Ipanema.

Brazilian Black Belt is a great gym. It is perfect for travelers for many reasons. First of all, they are very welcoming and friendly. Felipe and a lot of the trainers speak English. Many of the students speak English as well. The schedule is great, filled with a lot of training sessions, so finding your perfect time to train is easy. I trained at Brazilian Black Belt for three weeks and I learned so much. I would definitely go back there and recommend all BJJ practitioners visiting Rio to train at Brazilian Black Belt

It's my first time in Rio and Felipe and his students have been very welcoming. Classes are taught in Portuguese and English and Felipe explains all of the details in a very clear and concise manner. His students are genuinely friendly and they have made me feel very comfortable. A great place to train for anyone coming to Rio!

I had a great time training at Brazilian Black Belt during my semester abroad in Rio. It was my first time training Jiu-Jitsu. Even though my Portuguese wasn't very good I felt extremely welcome. Really nice atmosphere very welcoming to foreigners.

Highly recommend. This was my first experience with BJJ. The team at Brazilian Black Belt was amazing. I joined for one month while I was in Rio and can say nothing but good things. Go check the out!!

During my week stay in Rio I trained at this gym. The instructors and students were patient and very friendly. I made some forever friends at this gym and would recommend this gym to anyone visiting Rio. As a person who speaks English and Spanish, I was able to get by. Also, as a person with a disability, I felt very welcomed. This gym adopted me as one of them, and I will be forever grateful. #oss.

Felipe is a really awesome dude with a great academy. A nice humble gym with some awesome training. I recommend coming here for some good training!

(Translated by Google) Top notch! (Original) Academia top!

(Translated by Google) Great academy, well equipped and with great professionals. (Original) Ótima acadêmia, bem equipada e com ótimos profissionais.

(Translated by Google) My experience was incredible, obviously that Felipe is a Grosso and a unique Humility, but all his students and his secretary are also, they treated me very, very well and are more than recommended, technically and as a quality of people, obviously I visit them again . OSS (Original) Mi experiencia fué increible, obviamemte que felipe es un Grosso y una Humildad única, pero todos sus alumno y su secretaria también lo son, me trataron muy pero muy bien y son más que recomemdados, técnicamente y como calidad de personas, obviamemte vuelvo a visitarlos. OSS

All around amazing school. The academy has a great mix and perfect whether you are young, old, male, female, beginner or seasoned black belt. There is a variety of classes with a packed schedule each week day. Different levels of jiujitsu as well as kickboxing and other classes if you are interested. Felipe creates a very welcoming atmosphere in the gym and instructors in both Portuguese and perfect English. They even helped me with finding a place to stay in rio while i trained for 2 weeks. Overall great experience and would recommend to anyone wether you are experienced and in brazil just to train or just starting out.

Awesome gym. Everyone was so welcoming and Felipe explained everything in English as well. If you're in Rio, definitely drop in for some excellent BJJ classes.

I had such a great experience at Felipes gym. The dude is so incredibly nice and welcoming and so was everyone of his students. It seemed 80% of the students spoke English which also helped me feel more welcome. Do yourself a favor, don’t leave your GI at home like I did, (Felipe was cool with me training in a t shirt and board shorts) and don’t be intimidated to reach out to Felipe on Whatsapp and train at his gym when visiting from out of town.

Training at the Brazilian Black Belt Academy was a warm and welcoming experience. High-quality training by Eugenio and his team with full attention to all participants. Lack of knowledge of the Portuguese language is not a barrier. Treated with respect like family from day one. I highly recommend this gym.

Very patient and friendly teachers. Prices are rather high for day passes and in general. But you will definitely have a good time there!

Came from England to embrace the culture and get into the roots of bjj was speaking with the owner of the gym for three months he probably thought it this guy coming I eventually made it down due to work commitments and a beautiful place great coaches honest accommodating patient as I’m a beginner when I first started bjj I hurt my back Working so left it for a year and black belts and brown open there arms to Me in the gym didn’t make me feel look the noob I am so happy I came and I’ve extended my ticket to really keep Learning training and enjoying this beautiful city and great gym I recommend the team is what makes a gym

As a foreigner visiting the city of Rio, this gym is such a winner ,above the techniques and intense rolling during training what makes this gym stand out is the camaraderie amongst the members and how welcoming the environment is for a complete outsider. The current head coach here is one of the nicest instructors I have ever met. The ability to sit and have a light moment and discuss life and culture after a training session is what constitutes a good academy. I was fortunately able to upskill my Jiu-Jitsu knowledge as well as be made aware of what it is to be a Brazilian even if in small portions. Brazil, Portuguese and Jiu-Jitsu are very interconnected and getting an sound understanding of each is essential for a whole round growth in the art of Jiu-Jitsu if you visit Brazil & If you are in the city of Rio a sound knowledge of Carioca way of living. Brazilian Black Belt Jiu-Jitsu Academy will assist you in all these aspects:)

I've trained with BBB for 3 months and experienced my first BJJ rolls here. Thanks to the space the Genius and all the others on the mat create I've learned a lot about myself through self realisations. Also, the fundamentos under Marcello, o pai, will always stay as beautiful memories. You guys sparked the BJJ fire in me and I'm looking forward to continue the art in my home country; and hope to be back with you guys in the future! Muita gratidão a todos, eu já tenho saudades!

I had an amazing experience here training with Eugenio and the team! Everyone was very welcoming and I learned a lot of BJJ and Portuguese during my stay in Ipanema. Highly recommend this gym for new and seasoned bjj practitioners! Im excited for my return to the Brazilian Blackbelt family to continue my training! Oss 🤙

As an American that speaks little Portuguese and has no prior experience in BJJ, I couldn’t have asked for a better gym. Everyone is super nice and helpful. The teachers are amazing and I really enjoy working on my technique and learning from some of the more experienced students. Highly recommend anyone to stop by for a visit.

Incrível! One of the best experiences I’ve had at a Jiu-Jitsu gym, everyone was very patient and till this I consider the leaders, mentors and friends of mine! Muito obrigado por tudo!

They are a lot of English speakers and the level is very good plus the atmosphere is very friendly and family oriented. From beginners to advanced, great people to roll with and safe environment.

(Translated by Google) Great gym, our family, good teachers, good people. (Original) Ótima academia, a nossa família, professores bons, gente boa.

I trained here in June 2019 whilst on holiday. The training was very good and everyone was very friendly. I would 100% recommend this gym for anyone looking to train whilst in Rio. I cant wait to go back!!!

(Translated by Google) Great!!! (Original) Excelente!!!

Academia familiar, ambiente respeitoso, limpo, e bem profissional.

Excelente academia de artes marciais, com ótimos e experientes professores. Ambiente ideal para quem quer aprender ou se desenvolver mais.

Meus mestres, minha academia...resgatou muita coisa na minha vida e de meu filho...ensinamentos, respeito e amizade..... muito orgulho...

I had a minor issue because of carnival weekend but they handled the situation very well! Props to Felipe and his team

I just started practicing BJJ and at the Brazilian Black Belt in Ipanema I met a friendly environment with trained and highly technical instructors. I highly recommend it if you want to train in the Zona Sul.
