Lineage: Carlson Gracie - Sergio "Bolão" Souza - Rogerio Miranda - Francis M. Thode
Island Brothers BJJ Team Aruba began as a humble gathering of passionate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enthusiasts during my visits to the beautiful island of Aruba while I was a blue belt. Every session in the heart of San Nicolas was fueled by camaraderie, dedication, and a shared love for the art. What started as casual training evolved into a tight-knit community of like-minded individuals united by the spirit of Jiu-Jitsu.
Now, as a full-time resident of this island paradise, I’ve taken the next step to make Island Brothers BJJ Team Aruba an official team. With a commitment to fostering growth, discipline, and respect, we’ve built a home for practitioners of all levels to learn, improve, and share in the transformative journey of Jiu-Jitsu. Our mission is to grow the art on the island and strengthen the bonds of our Island Brothers Jiu-Jitsu family, one roll at a time.
