Our instructors met and trained with the eldest brother and founder of the organization, ninth-degree black belt Carlos Machado.
For over 40 years, The Machado Brothers have been dedicated to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. All five are living legends in the art. RCJ Machado Jiu-Jitsu believes the practice of martial arts, specifically Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has the ultimate goal of providing students with a tool to improve themselves as individuals by adopting a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
Martial Arts is recognized as a teaching and personal development tool. Educators around the country recognize that with martial arts, children learn not only basic self-defense strategies and anti-bullying techniques, but how to: build self-confidence, overcome peer pressure, manage anger, respect for others, and develop a positive attitude and behavior.
Muay Thai is a martial art derived from the ancient battlefield arts of Thailand. Unlike ordinary kickboxing, Muay Thai permits strikes with the knees and the elbows, as well as punches and kicks. Muay Thai bouts feature a lot of kicks to the legs to slow down an opponent, as well as a lot of clinch work. Clinch work is a Muay Thai specialty in which you control your opponent's upper body with your arms in order to land knees and elbows or to trow them to the mat.
