Checkmat BJJ

Checkmat BJJ in Cypress is led by Professor Robson “Robynho” Rodrigues, a 4th-degree black belt who carries forward the technical and competitive legacy of Checkmat International. Robynho’s instruction reflects his deep ties to the team founded by Leo Vieira, emphasizing authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques honed through years of training alongside multiple world and Pan American champions. The academy also benefits from the experience of Professors Joao Vianey and Vincent Perez, both 4th-degree black belts, who contribute to the depth of knowledge available to students. Training at this school balances traditional gi classes with a structured approach to skill development. The schedule includes morning and evening sessions taught by the senior instructors, focusing on refining fundamentals and progressing through intermediate and advanced techniques. Open mat sessions are available for adults, providing time for additional drilling and sparring. The academy welcomes practitioners who want to explore the full spectrum of Checkmat’s style without distractions from unrelated martial arts. The facility on Valley View Street is wheelchair accessible and supports a focused training environment. Drop-in students are accepted, reflecting a practical approach to accommodating visitors and those new to the area. While the curriculum centers on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the coaching staff’s combined experience ensures that students receive instruction rooted in a lineage known for technical precision and competitive success.
