Meet Our Coaches
Head Coach Joe Sirju
Professor Joseph Sirju began training in BJJ in 2006 after watching his first UFC match and deciding he wanted to try it. He found a school through the Yellow Pages and, on his first day, was repeatedly submitted by a woman 100 lbs lighter than him. This experience hooked him. Initially starting to learn to fight, he also gained self-confidence and discipline. Over the years, he trained with notable figures like Warren Mauer, Leonardo Xavier, Royler Gracie, Rickson Gracie, and Rilion Gracie, eventually earning his black belt from Professor Luiz Eduardo Rosa Junior on September 14, 2019.
Instructor Alexandre Nascimento de Arruda
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he is 39 years old and began playing sports at age 6. Influenced by his uncle, a Brazilian military parachutist, he discovered Capoeira and competed in Minas Gerais, winning state titles from 2000 to 2002. He started teaching Capoeira in Brumadinho in 2002, then moved to Santa Catarina in 2003 to teach underprivileged children. In 2009, he took up Jiu Jitsu, earning over 40 medals and training with various teams. He joined the Seven Brazilian team in 2018, received his black belt in August 2022, and moved to Katy, Texas in September 2023, where he now teaches as part of the Active Jiu Jitsu team.
