Steps Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Steps Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded in August 2023 by Professor Fabio Passos, who wanted to build a place where his teaching philosophy and deep knowledge of the art could shape not just skilled martial artists but thoughtful problem solvers. From the beginning, Fabio focused on steady, patient progress, encouraging students to improve bit by bit rather than rushing through techniques. His approach reflects a belief that learning Jiu Jitsu is as much about personal growth as it is about physical skill. At Steps BJJ, classes cover all levels, starting with fundamentals for beginners and advancing through more detailed drilling and sparring sessions. The academy offers gi training for adults and kids, with classes for children as young as five years old. Open mat sessions are available for extra practice. The instruction emphasizes careful technique and steady development over flashy moves, allowing students to build confidence and resilience in a low-pressure setting. The school operates out of a clean, wheelchair-accessible facility in Sherman Oaks, California. Fabio and his team keep the environment calm and supportive, focusing on making training enjoyable and manageable for each person’s pace. This steady, methodical style is designed to help students not only succeed on the mats but carry the lessons learned into their daily lives.
