Brazilian Top Team (BTT) academies specialize in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and mixed martial arts.

Murilo Bustamante, Ricardo Libório, Mário Sperry and Luis Roberto Duarte, former members of the Carlson Gracie Academy, established Brazilian Top Team in April 2000.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, (BJJ) can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring (commonly referred to as ‘rolling’) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition.
