Moncaio Brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Moncaio Brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded in 2011 by brothers João and Fred Moncaio, both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts with over two decades of martial arts experience between them. Originally opening their doors in Fort Lauderdale, the Moncaios built their academy on the values of discipline, respect, and perseverance—principles they learned through years of training, competition, and teaching. Since relocating to Pompano Beach, they have mentored students from across South Florida, many of whom have gone on to win titles in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, kickboxing events, and mixed martial arts competitions. João and Fred lead every class, focusing on technical development, individual attention, and the mental aspects of training. Their programs are designed for all ages and skill levels, with a structured curriculum that supports both casual practitioners and serious competitors. The academy offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in both gi and no-gi formats, as well as kickboxing and submission grappling. For younger students, there are dedicated kids’ BJJ and submission wrestling classes, each emphasizing growth, confidence, and practical self-defense. Classes run throughout the week for kids, teens, and adults, with drop-ins welcome and programs tailored to different goals—whether that’s improving fitness, preparing for competition, or simply learning solid self-defense. The Moncaio Brothers’ personal involvement and passion for teaching are evident on the mats, and their commitment to helping students grow extends beyond technique to the development of character and confidence. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and the academy’s long-standing roots in the local area make it a trusted place for families and individuals looking for real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Pompano Beach.
