Gracie Lisboa

🇵🇹 E há uma diferença enorme entre as duas coisas.

🇬🇧 And there's a huge difference between the two.

"Instructor Announcement: Sensei João Santos (Gracie Lisbon)
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Sensei João Santos, the head of Gracie Lisbon, will be stepping onto the mats as a featured guest instructor at the upcoming Warrior Seminar!
For the practitioners in our community, João needs no introduction.
His technical precision, mastery of leverage, and world-class teaching style make him one of the most sought-after BJJ professors in Europe.
A Brotherhood Forged in the Early '90s
While many know João for his incredible BJJ pedigree, what makes his presence at the Warrior Seminar truly special is the deep history behind it.
Sensei João’s ties to Ishin Ryu Ju Jitsu and Hanshi Kevin Pell stretch back over three decades to the early 1990s. Long before BJJ became the global phenomenon it is today, these masters recognized a shared dedication to martial arts excellence, realistic self-defense, and the warrior spirit.
Decades of Mutual Respect: For over 30 years, João and Hanshi Kevin Pell have shared ideas, crossed mats, and supported each other's martial arts journeys across borders.
The Ultimate Fusion: Bringing João into the Warrior Seminar lineup continues a beautiful tradition of martial arts unity—combining the devastating ground mastery of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with the powerful, clinical stand-up and traditional principles of Ishin Ryu.
What to Expect on the Mat
If you have never trained under Sensei João, prepare for an absolute masterclass in efficiency. He strips away the fluff and focuses on the exact mechanics of control, submission, and positional dominance.
Whether you are a seasoned ground fighter looking to sharpen your guard or a traditional striker wanting to understand elite-level grappling, João’s session is going to be a massive eye-opener.
Space on the mats will be strictly limited for this landmark event. Make sure your name is on the list—you do not want to miss the chance to learn from a true legend of the European mat". Palavras do incrível @.pell sobre o Warrior Seminar que acontecerá no dia 5 de setembro. Gratos!!
