We Teach Gracie Jiu Jitsu Portland Classes And Offer A 30 Day Free Trial

 

There’s a long story about the Gracie Family and how Helio Gracie, the Grandmaster founded the modern sport of Jiu Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, BJJ, etc. We are all deeply indebted to the family for cultivating and pioneering the most effective and efficient sport in combat history. Gracie Jiu Jitsu Portland is the official title of this blog and we are talking about our connection to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through the teachings of the Gracie Family that we still teach in 2018.

 

At Mata Leao, we are connected to the Gracie Lineage in a special way that we feel has been a unique way and has benefitted what is taught here. Our connection to Wellington ‘Megaton’ Dias –  and the fire of his Champion Jiu Jitsu – has been cultivated  for over ten years by Omar Santiago, our head professor. Megaton Dias originally trained under Rogerio Camoes and later at the legendary Gracie Humaitá jiu-jitsu school in Rio de Janeiro. Megaton, ‘Meg’ or ‘Megs’ ( as we he is sometimes called)  received his black belt at the age of 18. M’ton is currently a fifth degree black belt under Royler Gracie. Hoyler Gracie is the son of Helio Gracie, ( the OG Godfather of Jiu Jitsu. ) Whenever you think of Gracie Jiu Jitsu Portland, think of Mata Leao Combat Sports in Inner SE Portland. We have the Gracie Flags hanging up on the walls.

 

Speaking of Walls ( and prepare to be wildly off-topic here) we are about to upgrade our facility by repainting the gym. That’s right folks, Omar and I are going to roll up our sleeves and give Mata Leao a fresh coat of paint. Design is going to be pretty dynamic and we are going in a different direction than before, so stay posted on this.
