CORAÇÃO VALENTE ACADEMY OF JIU-JITSU

I am Ben, head coach of CVA Jiu-Jitsu. 

​

In over 12 years of studying Jiu-Jitsu, I have lived in the USA and Brazil, where I was fortunate to train with BJJ World Champions, as well as multiple UFC athletes, and have competed across different countries, with Gold medals at black belt level.

​

My true passion, however, lies with teaching, and I am privileged to run a high quality academy in my home city, Edinburgh.

​

I believe that learning Jiu-Jitsu should be a fun and challenging activity, and as such, I strive to create a relaxed, yet dynamic environment for my students. I encourage everyone to enjoy their Jiu-Jitsu journey, while challenging themselves to gain a strong understanding and knowledge of the skills and concepts that can make them safe on the street, and a champion in the arena.

​

If you're nervous to take that first step and try a class, but find the courage to do so- I am confident that you'll be extremely glad that you did within your first minute at our school.

​

Hope to meet you there soon.
