Who runs the sessions
The coaching team
A word from the head coach
“The mat does not care how old you are or what you do outside. It cares whether you came today.”
I spent ten years in academies you walked into to win medals. I opened this one to walk into to train — and the medals, when they come, come as a bonus.
A word from Rui

Who trains with us
What our athletes say
-
“Leonor joined at six because she could not sit still. A year later she bows on the way into the house. I do not know what Joana does to them, but it works.”
Helena Barros · Leonor's mother, Judo Kids -
“I came to try it at forty thinking it was too late. It took me three years to reach blue and nobody ever treated me as the old man of the class. I train at seven in the morning and get to work a better person.”
Jorge Fontes · Started at 40, blue belt -
“Carla had me fighting after a year and winning after two. What I like here is that nobody pushes you into the ring — but when you want to go, they go with you.”
Inês Moreira · Muay Thai, competition group
