Guilherme and Rafael Mendes (Mendes Bros)

The Art of Jiu Jitsu Academy was founded in July of 2012 as a collaborative effort between the Mendes Bros and PM Tenore to spread the Jiu Jitsu life style and make a positive impact on the Newport Beach and Costa Mesa communities. 

The vision for the academy was to offer world class instruction in a traditional yet stylish environment that focused solely on Jiu Jitsu instead of following the popular trend of being a Jiu Jitsu/MMA school.

The classes are taught by world class competitors the Mendes brothers with options for the entire family. We seek to serve not only athletes but also people who are looking to learn self-defense, get in shape, have fun, and more.

Please join us to learn the fastest growing art in the world, the Art of Jiu Jitsu.
