Righteous Brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Righteous Brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Middleburg, Florida, was founded in 2019 by Professor Ronei De Paula, a black belt under Master Luiz Palhares. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Ronei moved to the United States in 2001 and began training with Palhares in 2008, eventually earning his black belt in 2016. He brings experience from assisting in seminars worldwide and a commitment to using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a tool for discipline, sportsmanship, and family values. Classes at Righteous Brothers follow a traditional gi-based curriculum with options for both gi and no-gi training in adult sessions. The academy offers age-specific programs, including Little Ninjas and Ninjas classes for children, designed to build foundational skills alongside physical and mental growth. Adult classes accommodate various skill levels and include separate gi and no-gi formats, allowing students to develop a versatile grappling game. Drop-ins are accepted, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. The school emphasizes consistent training without long-term contracts, supporting sustained progress through unlimited monthly classes. Located behind Freedom Fitness Gym on Blanding Boulevard, the academy maintains a focus on self-defense and awareness, reflecting Ronei’s approach to BJJ as a catalyst for positive change on and off the mats.
