Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art of Brazilian origin, focusing mainly on grappling and submission techniques, including chokes and joint locks.
BJJ teaches respect, discipline and perseverance. Practitioners learn to cope with failure, solve problems under pressure and work towards long-term goals, which can have positive applications in other areas of life.

Working Towards Excellence
Our Story
Francois KB, aka Buscapé, started Jiu-jitsu with the Brazilian Top Team under Fabio Holanda. As soon as he earned his blue belt, Leonardo Saggioro's presence in Montreal encouraged him to train hard and take part in competitions across Canada. After numerous international podiums, he was honored with his black belt in 2020 by his mentor, Leonardo "Cascāo" Saggioro.
Constantly seeking to evolve, Buscapé took part in numerous training camps at the Cantagalo Jiu-Jitsu social project in Rio de Janeiro, home to many world champions such as Douglas Rufino (Head Coach). He has forged a solid relationship with Douglas and established a partnership to support the latter's work. Buscapé is also the founder of the Afrobraz Project, an initiative aimed at supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the pursuit of their dreams.
Buscapé's Jiu-Jitsu teaching philosophy is influenced by his experience in Capoeira. He firmly believes in the power of sport as a tool for personal development, helping everyone to reveal their best side.
