Competition Team · Toward the Podium

Train to compete. Built to win.

The Competition Team is for athletes ready to test everything they've built against the best. You'll train under founders who know the podium intimately — a UFC Hall of Famer and a 7× World Jiu-Jitsu Champion — and learn to perform when it counts.

7× World Champion Coaching By Invitation / Tryout Toward the Podium
The Standard

Coached by champions.

This is where the Brabus standard is sharpest. Léo Santos — a 7× World Jiu-Jitsu Champion and 4th-degree Nova União black belt — leads the technical game, with the competitive mindset of UFC Hall of Famer José Aldo behind every session.

01

Elite technique

A game built on the details that win matches — pressure-tested, refined, and taught the way titles are actually won.

02

Competition-pace rounds

Hard, focused sparring that mirrors tournament intensity, so the bracket feels familiar before you ever step on it.

03

The champion's mindset

Learn to manage nerves, gameplan an opponent, and perform under the lights from people who have done it at the highest level.

The Work

What competition training looks like.

Competition team sessions go beyond a regular class — more volume, more pressure, and a plan built around your next event.

  • High-intensity drilling and situational sparring
  • Gameplanning, scoring strategy, and ruleset breakdowns (IBJJF and more)
  • Both gi and No-Gi preparation
  • Mental preparation — managing nerves and competing under pressure

  • Dedicated students with a solid technical foundation
  • Athletes who want to test themselves in tournaments
  • Members able to commit to the extra training load
  • Competitors who train hard and carry themselves with respect
