Train Smart. Stay Humble.

Our Mission

Here at the Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu Association we aim to provide world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction, sound and proven business advice, and lifestyle mentorship for all who are seeking it, while creating a BJJ community with a positive attitude and healthy common goals.

Our Journey

For over five decades, Master Carlos Machado and the Machado Brothers have dedicated their lives to the mastery and dissemination of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As nephews of one of the founders of BJJ, the late Master Carlos Gracie, they were immersed in the art from an early age, learning directly from Grandmaster Helio Gracie at the legendary Gracie Academy. The Machados not only share a rich lineage in BJJ but embody the philosophy of humility and service. "Leave your ego at the door."

Our Achievements

Each of the Machado Brothers has carved out a significant place in the world of BJJ, securing National, Pan-American, ADCC, and World titles. Their influence extends beyond the mat, with appearances in TV shows, motion pictures, instructional books, DVDs, and documentaries, emphasizing their mission to share the best of BJJ with the world.
