Demian Maia is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, who reached the top of both sports’ rankings, particularly in grappling where Maia earned titles such as World Cup (2002, 2003), ADCC (2007). In MMA Demian had title attempts in the UFC’s middleweight (April 2010) and welterweight (July 2017) divisions. Demian is also known for having one of UFC’s longest successful submission win streaks (5). In the context of jiu-jitsu history, Maia was at the heart of the early 2000’s Alliance Academy‘s turmoil, a case that ended in the team splitting, giving birth to the Brasa, TT, and Master academies.


Professor Flavio Almeida started training martial arts when he was 12 years old, through karate. He followed in his brother, Ricardo Almeida’s footsteps and began practicing jiu-jitsu under the Gracie Barra family. He has had the privilege of receiving coaching from many jiu-jitsu legends, such as Renzo Gracie, Marcio Feitosa, and Master Carlos Gracie Jr.

Professor Flavio Almeida competed in the late 1990s and late 2000s. Some of his many achievements include: World Champion (1997 blue belt, 1999 brown belt), Brazilian National Silver Medalist (1998 purple belt, 1999 brown belt) ADCC Silver Medallist (2007), Pan American Silver Medallist (2007, 2009), European Bronze Medallist (2009), and most recently 2017 Pan American Masters black belt champion.
