Leonardo da Silva
The head instructor at Rapadura Jiu Jitsu | 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
He trains under 9x World Champion "Formiga" professor Rafael Formiga Barbosa of Double five Jiu jitsu.
Leo, began training Jiu Jitsu at a very young age. This sport quickly became a passion and his desire to continue practicing the art of Jiu Jitsu has never faded.
"Jiujitsu has held my attention all these years because the opportunity to learn and grow is endless. Every moment on the mat with every partner is a new challenge. Every chance I have to share my technique is also an opportunity to learn. Even the youngest white belt has something to teach us all."
Some things in life must be experienced to be understood. I believe Jiu Jitsu is one of those things. The sense of community that is felt on and off the mat is not like any other. Once Jiu Jitsu finds its way into your life it becomes part of everything you do. We are a family that trains together, challenges each other and above all else we have fun and support one another. Be a part of our family, experience the side of Jiu Jitsu that will last a lifetime.
