Bermuda Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (Bdabjj) was founded based on a love of this martial art, paired with a recognition for the need to offer top class training to provide the opportunity for people to learn and train within a sport that, until recently, has not been easily available in Bermuda.

BJJ is a sport that any person, child or adult, can use in order to stay healthy and fit. Though, what makes BJJ a remarkable sport is the level of technique that is built through time and dedication to training. At Bdabjj, our aim is to provide a safe respectful space for all practitioners to learn, grow and feel accomplished, whether training within a group or individually.

Bdabjj not only caters to clients that are interested in pursuing sport BJJ but we also cater to the self defense needs of all of our clients. We aim to offer self-defense services that not only reach individuals but groups/organizations as well.

We are extremely lucky to have access to a world class black belt BJJ instructor here in Bermuda!

Roberto was born in Brazil and raised in the United States. He returned to Brazil as an adult with a keen passion to pursue a career in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Prior to living in Bermuda, he trained and taught at Gracie Humaita in Rio de Janiero. He has also run workshops in the UK, Germany and Poland. He has spent the last 10+ years training, competing and perfecting his craft. He has great competition background, having competed and placed in many BJJ championships in Brazil and internationally.

Though, what makes him stand out most as an instructor is his teaching style. He takes time to break down positions, whether you’re a newbie or a veteran to the sport. He is extremely hands, on ensuring his students make the most out of their time training. He ensures the climate of his classes is positive and nurturing. Roberto really makes sure to meet his students where they are and build their knowledge progressively and safely. He leaves his ego at the door with a main goal of making sure his students have fun. Roberto is also First Aid and CPR trained and SCARS trained.
