TM BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU ACADEMY

TM Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is led by Professor Thyago Martins, a black belt under Rubens “Cobrinha” Charles and a decorated competitor with titles including IBJJF World Champion, Pan American Champion, and Brazilian National Champion. Born in Manaus, Amazonas, Thyago developed his game through rigorous training and now brings that same intensity and precision to every class. He also coaches athletes competing in the UFC and PFL, applying a philosophy that great jiu-jitsu should be accessible and shared openly rather than gatekept. Training at TM BJJ Academy follows a clear, structured curriculum designed to guide students from their very first day through to advanced levels. Classes cover both gi and no-gi formats, with dedicated sessions for beginners, intermediate, and all-levels groups. The academy offers specialized programs for kids starting as young as three, emphasizing discipline, confidence, and anti-bullying skills. Women’s classes focus on self-defense and technical development, creating a space for focused learning. Competition team training is available for athletes preparing for IBJJF events and other tournaments, including tailored game plans and cornering. The schedule supports consistent training with morning and evening classes six days a week, plus open mat sessions for additional drilling and sparring. TM BJJ Academy maintains clean, sanitized mats and a training environment where coaches actively compete and engage alongside students. Located in Orange, California, the school emphasizes real technique, honest live rolling, and a merit-based approach that reflects the demands of both sport and self-defense.
