train with Master Fredson Paixao 

"Fredson Paixão is one of the top grapplers in the world, earning his black belt under Grand Master Osvaldo Alves in 1998. He is one of only two people to ever be skipped from purple belt straight to black belt.^[1] He has won multiple World Championships as a black belt. He took first place in the Worlds in 1998 (as a purple belt); and in 2001, 2002, and 2005 (as a black belt). In addition, he finished second (silver medal) in 2004. He is also a nine-time Brazilian National Champion.

In May 2010, Paixão defeated Caol Uno (who is a BJJ black belt, judo black belt, shoot wrestler, and UFCveteran) in a no-gi jiu-jitsu superfight at the UFC Fan Expo held in Las Vegas at UFC 114.^[2]"

Master Paixao is also our head black belt, under whom Professor Jim Collins received his black belt. Our close-knit lineage is something to be proud of.
