CBJJ Team

CBJJ Team in Leominster is led by Professor Cesario De Souza, a 4th-degree black belt with more than 30 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His background includes training under notable instructors such as Pippa Maguila and Carlos Valente, and he holds certifications from CBJJ, INJJF, USBJJF, CBJJE, and IBJJF. Beyond BJJ, Cesario brings expertise in judo, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA competition, which informs the diverse martial arts instruction available at the academy. The school emphasizes respect for tradition and aims to motivate students across all ages and skill levels. The academy structures its BJJ classes by age and experience, starting as young as four years old with separate groups for ages 4-6, 7-10, 10-14, and 15 and up. Kids’ classes focus on fundamental positions and discipline, fostering safety and respect on the mats. Adult classes accommodate beginners through advanced practitioners, combining technique drills with conditioning and flexibility work, and include women-only sessions to address specific training needs. The curriculum covers self-defense, competition techniques, and full MMA fight preparation. In addition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, CBJJ Team offers cardio kickboxing and boxing classes for adults, supporting overall fitness and striking skills. The facility is wheelchair accessible and maintains changing areas for both men and women. Drop-in students are welcome, and the school follows IBJJF belt ranking standards. This blend of traditional BJJ instruction with striking and conditioning options reflects Professor De Souza’s comprehensive approach to martial arts training in Leominster.
