Known as "The Gentle Art," BJJ concentrates on controlling your opponents by using angles, leverage and superior body positioning in such a way to control your opponent without having to hurt your opponent with striking. For this reason, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is taught and used in law enforcement.
BJJ demonstrates a smaller person can have an advantage over a larger opponent by using proper body positioning. This is why today, BJJ is highly regarded, respected and known as effective martial arts.
OUR VISION AT VALOR ACADEMY:
To be the conduit for all ages to achieve personal excellence and growth, through fitness.
Master Levi is a world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and mixed martial arts (MMA) athlete with an impressive career shaped entirely under the guidance of his sole instructor, Master Leo Dalla Costa.
Levi’s competitive journey began as a white belt, and his dedication and skill quickly propelled him to success on the world stage. A gifted all-around athlete, Levi’s early accomplishments include making the US Junior Olympic soccer team, showcasing his versatility and determination.
In BJJ, Levi’s rapid progress was evident when he earned his blue belt in under seven months and competed in the semi-finals at Worlds that same year. By 2008, he was ranked among the top ten competitors by NAGA, and his career has since been adorned with numerous medals, including gold, silver, and bronze, in prestigious tournaments such as IBJJF across the United States.
Known as “Vise Grip” for his unmatched grip strength and mastery of chokes, Levi is celebrated not only for his championship titles but also for his impact as a teacher. His students admire his detailed instruction and effective techniques, making him a respected and idolized figure in the BJJ community.
These classes focus on the basics of BJJ, such as fundamental positions (like guard, mount, and side control), simple submissions, escapes, and sweeps. The goal is to build a strong foundation while getting comfortable with BJJ movements.
One-on-one coaching in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides personalized attention tailored to your unique strengths, weaknesses, and goals, allowing for faster progress, deeper understanding of techniques, and a more customized learning experience than group classes.
Focus on practical, real-world applications of BJJ techniques for personal safety and protection.
