Grandmaster Pedro Hemeterio was one of the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s. He was the first red belt promoted outside of the Gracie family and also was the first red belt promoted by Grandmaster Helio Gracie. He fought many no holds barred vale tudo matches during the 1940’s and 1950’s defending Jiu Jitsu and the Gracie family name before the rise of other famous fighters such as Carlson Gracie. Grandmaster Hemeterio also is credited with starting one of the first and most important Jiu Jitsu Federations in the state of São Paulo, the FPJJ. He is credited with being a founding figure for Jiu Jitsu in São Paulo which is now one of the worlds largest hotbeds for Jiu Jitsu academies and talent.

World class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes for kids and adults I’m a fun and friendly environment! Definitely the place to be if you are in the area.
This is an amazing place. Everyone is so kind and supportive. I love it so much, my only complaint is that they are closed on Sunday which means I can only go 6 days a week ?
Awesome place to learn Jiu Jitsu. Young and Old, there is no discrimination... only the desire to Level Up! Coaches and professors are like family! Definitely the best in the area!
These guys are the best! This place is like a family: if you want a fun, friendly and supporting academy, this is the place for you! Great for all ages!
I have been a part of the Level Up family for a few months now. I feel I made a great decision by choosing Level Up and couldn’t be happier. Professor Erik and coach Alex are wonderful and they make you feel like you’ve been part of the family from the moment you walk through the door. This gym attracts friendly people who are there to learn and have a great time. No one is there to bully others while rolling and everyone helps each other. Two thumbs up for Level Up!
