My name is Rob De Sousa and I am excited to bring Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to New Holland, PA. I first found Jiu Jitsu in 2003 after traveling to NYC to take class at the Renzo Gracie Academy. At the time I was living in New Jersey. It was there that I found out that Renzo had a Black Belt named Ricardo Almeida teaching in South Jersey. I spent the next few years training at Ricardo’s and truly value every experience I had there.

Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to live in different places fairly often. The downside is sometimes it can be challenging to train consistently. I have come to learn that sometimes these challenges are really blessings in disguise. I have had the privilege of training under some of the best instructors in our sport.

I am a blue belt under 12X World Champion Professor Caio Terra. All of our classes follow the curriculum that my Professor has created. I am grateful for the lessons Jiu Jitsu continues to teach me and I am passionate about sharing those lessons with others as we grow in the art together.
