BD Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

In Clermont, BD Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is led by Professor Bruno Dias, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt whose deep competitive background and teaching experience shape the academy’s identity. Originally from Brazil, Professor Dias brings a decorated pedigree to the mats, highlighted by multiple IBJJF World and Pan American titles, as well as a history of professional MMA competition. His years serving in the Brazilian Marines and his specialized training in tactical immobilizations by SWAT inform a disciplined, practical approach to self-defense. Since 2016, Dias has focused on youth development, drawing on his early childhood education training to impact hundreds of young students. At BD BJJ Academy, the training schedule reflects a commitment to technical progression and accessibility for every age group.

Women’s classes are a regular part of the weekly schedule, offering a space for self-defense and fitness tailored to female students. Kids’ programs are divided by age—3–6, 7–10, and 11–14—ensuring instruction matches each developmental stage. The academy also offers Taekwondo for kids, Muay Thai for adults, and wrestling, making it a hub for martial arts in the Clermont area. Open mat sessions on Saturdays provide time for students to refine techniques and connect with others on the mats. Drop-ins are welcome, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. Whether a student’s focus is competition or personal growth, Professor Dias’ hands-on leadership and the academy’s structured programs make BD Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy a fixture for martial arts in Clermont.
