OUR MISSION
To change lives through martial arts.
On the mats, students build strength, discipline, and confidence.
Off the mats, they carry those values into school, work, and everyday life. Every class is a step toward becoming healthier, stronger, and more resilient.
Above all, GFTeam is more than a place to train – it’s a family that grows together.
THE HISTORY OF THE GFTEAM ORGANIZATION
GFTeam was founded in 1996 by Júlio César, Marcus Bello and Alexandre Baraúna at Universidade Gama Filho. (A University in Rio de Janeiro Brasil.) Having recently become one of the top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teams in the world, Grappling Fight Team (GFT) formerly known as Universidade Gama Filho (UGF), has had great success in Brazil since the 1990’s and with the turn of the last decade, GFT was propelled to world wide success through a series of excellent results at an international level and the continuous production of high level fighters such as Bruno Malfacine, Rodolfo Vieira, Ricardo Evangelista, Italo Lins and many others. – BJJHeroes
