Built on the mat,
grown worldwide
One backyard, one master, one belief that Jiu-Jitsu changes lives. Three decades later, that belief lives in more than 100 academies around the globe.
From São Paulo
to the world
G13 was never meant to be a franchise. It started as a small group of friends learning the gentle art on a simple mat in São Paulo, under a young instructor named Roberto Godoi who cared as much about people as he did about technique.
Word spread the honest way, one student at a time. People came for the Jiu-Jitsu and stayed for the family. As those students earned their belts and moved across cities and countries, they carried the G13 standard with them and opened doors of their own.
Today that same care runs through every academy that wears the G13 patch. Different flags, different languages, the same heartbeat.
The values on the patch
Family first
You are never just a membership number. From the front desk to the mats, G13 is a community that has your back.
Real technique
Detailed, world class instruction in every single class. The same proven system taught across 100 academies.
Respect and humility
We win and we lose the same way, with our heads high. The gentle art teaches character long after class ends.
For every body
Training for fun, fitness, competition or self defense. Beginners and champions grow side by side.
