Hey everyone who keeps following ZJiuJitsu. First of all, I'd like to apologize for the inactive period without posting anything, but I promise it was for a good reason, which I'm sharing with you here in this article.
I'd also like to wish everyone a great start to the year and lots of Jiu-Jitsu for all of us.
Top Brother Pelotas
For some time I had felt that my school's facilities had become far too small. Even so, rents in the city of Pelotas-RS are absurd, and that was always the first obstacle holding back the expansion. However, when you have a team that is a true family, everything gets easier. With everyone's help, we broke through that obstacle and made the new Top Brother a reality.
Renovations
One of my concerns was leaving my students without training. I couldn't simply stop teaching at the old academy, do the renovations and only then open the new academy. Everything had to be done at the same time.
It was five weeks of switching between teaching classes and going to wash, paint, sand and do everything else that was needed in the new space. Of course I had help from my students, and that made this new achievement possible.
Only in the last week did we close the doors of the old academy and focus 100% on the final touches of the new Top Brother.
Pre-opening
During the renovations, great friends and partners of Top Brother kept sending messages, cheering for the reopening of the new Top Brother Pelotas.
Davi Ramos – UFC fighter
Master Cézar Guimarães – Leader of the Top Brother team
Rhodes Lima – Host on Canal Combate
Karla Hipólito – No. 1 in the CBJJ/IBJJF ranking
Leonardo Ligeirinho – Brazilian Champion
Jonathan Menezes – Representative of Top Brother China
Facilities
Today Top Brother has the best facilities in the city of Pelotas. Located right in the city center, it has two mat areas, a lounge area, a snack bar, three bathrooms and six martial arts to better serve our students.
Grand opening
Everyone was dying to get back to training and curious to see how the new home turned out. After a one-week break, September 27, 2019 finally arrived.
The opening could only be one way: a full house and lots of Jiu-Jitsu.

Thank you to everyone who helped and believed in this project. Without this team it would have been impossible to reach this new milestone.
