The Academy
A real jiu-jitsu school, not a fitness fad. Every class is technical, live, and led by people who compete at the highest level.
TM BJJ Academy is built around one idea: give Orange County a place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the right way. Clean mats, a structured curriculum, and coaches who still step on the competition floor themselves.
Whether you have never trained a day in your life or you are chasing a podium, you get the same thing here. Real technique, honest rolls, and a room that pushes you and looks out for you.
Head Professor
Thyago
Martins
Black belt under Rubens "Cobrinha" Charles
Born in Manaus, Amazonas, Thyago built his game the hard way and carried it to the top of the sport. Today he brings that same standard to every class, from the first-timer learning to fall to the pro fighter sharpening for a title.
He has cornered and prepared athletes competing in the UFC and PFL, and he coaches with the belief that great jiu-jitsu should be shared, not gatekept.
