Joao Oliveira

Joao Costa, originally from Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has been immersed in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since the age of 4, training under his father at their family gym. Growing up in the heart of Jiu-Jitsu culture, Joao developed a deep passion for the sport, which has shaped him into the elite competitor and coach he is today. Now a blackbelt, Joao trains out of BTT Jupiter in Florida, continuing to refine his skills and chase further success.

A technician at heart, Joao’s favorite techniques include the close guard, single leg X, and the dynamic berimbolo. His goal is to continue winning as many titles as possible while sharing his vast knowledge with students and through seminars across the globe.

Joao is driven by the belief that Jiu-Jitsu is a never-ending journey of learning, and he is passionate about helping others along their own path to mastery.
