Great professor and excellent atmosphere to learn bjj
Boa Estrutura. Bom Professor em ambas modalidades.
I've been involved in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 10 years, but I've never progressed or improved as much as I have since I started training under Professor Indio. My children also train here, and they absolutely love being part of the kids' classes. The academy has a true family atmosphere where everyone treats each other with respect and supports one another. It's more than just a gym, it's a community that brings people together locally while also connecting us to the rich traditions of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Capoeira and the Brazilian culture. Professor Indio respects each student's individual pace and goals, whether you're training to compete, learn practical self-defense, stay active, or simply enjoy the sport. The gym also has members from law enforcement who contribute valuable real-world self-defense insights and experiences, adding another level of practical learning. Whatever your goals or your family's goals are, I highly recommend Champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Capoeira. Training here has been an incredible experience, and I recommend it 100%.
Excellent coaches and an outstanding team! I’ve trained at several gyms over the years, and each one has taught me something valuable. However, this is the place where I’ve learned the most and felt the most comfortable. I really appreciate the way the coach teaches. My technique has improved in ways I struggled to achieve elsewhere. He also takes the time to review techniques regularly so we don’t forget them. In jiu-jitsu, there’s so much to learn that it’s easy to overlook the small details, and those details make a huge difference. I wanted to challenge myself by competing, even though I didn’t feel ready. I decided to give it a try and see how it went. It turned out to be an amazing experience. In my first tournament after a long break, I was fortunate enough to take first place. That experience made me appreciate this gym and its coaching even more. This gym has had a positive impact on my life far beyond jiu-jitsu. It helped me get back in shape and rediscover my love for sports. I had stopped training for many years and had almost given up on jiu-jitsu. During that time, I gained weight, became less active, and lost the motivation to practice any sport. Thanks to this gym, my teammates, and the coaching, I fell in love with jiu-jitsu again and built a much healthier lifestyle. I started eating better, training consistently, and feeling stronger every day. Today, I feel healthier, more confident, and happier. I’ll never forget the coach constantly reminding me to watch what I eat—it always made me laugh, but he was right! My 4-year-old daughter trains here as well, and she absolutely loves it. She enjoys showing me the new techniques and games she learns in class, and it’s been amazing to share this journey with her. Everyone here is friendly, respectful, and always willing to help. The positive atmosphere makes training enjoyable whether you’re stepping onto the mats for the first time or have years of experience. I’m truly grateful to be part of this team. This gym has changed my life in many positive ways, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn jiu-jitsu, improve themselves, and become part of an incredible community.
Champion BJJ has been an awesome place to train. The instruction is excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the overall culture of the gym is exactly what you hope to find in a martial arts school. Professor Paulo is a great coach who explains techniques & systems clearly and makes them easy to understand and apply. The training partners are supportive, respectful, and always willing to help each other improve. Great vibes all around. I highly recommend Champion BJJ to anyone looking for high-quality Martial Arts training in a positive environment.
Very good academy. Awesome group of people to share the mats with. Everyone is welcoming, respectful, and always willing to help you improve, no matter your experience level. The instructor is world class, the place is clean, and every session is both challenging and enjoyable. Highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu in a great environment!
The instructor is extremely passionate about this sport, and you can see it by the way he teaches. Very attentive to every student, extremely welcoming, and kind. He also constantly challenges himself, and often goes out to compete, which you don’t see much of (or at all) in professors here in Winnipeg! It is inspiring to be taught by someone like him.
Over two years training BJJ with Sensei Indio, and as a mid-40s Database Administrator whose hands are my livelihood, I've never had an injury that kept me from working He respects every student's goals and limits, no pressure to compete. This year I added capoeira and my mobility, balance, and flexibility improved noticeably; my 10-year-old daughter joined too and loves the songs, movements, and instruments like the berimbau. Welcoming, family-oriented academy — highly recommend
