“This BJJ academy in Portland is top-notch! A huge shoutout to Tristan for being so supportive and helpful throughout my onboarding – he made getting started a breeze. Meeting Professor Omar during orientation was a great experience, and my initial classes have me completely sold.”

“Mata Leao is a truly excellent gym, both for complete beginners and those who have a few years of experience. Omar and the rest of the instructors are knowledgeable and welcoming; fostering a community of people who embody the passion and dedication inherent in the art form.”

“I joined Mata Leao a few months ago and so far I’ve had a great experience. Since coming to this gym I’ve experienced a very welcoming community, coaches and staff. I feel strongly that my skills have improved.”

“I’ve never been to a martial arts gym before so I was a bit worried starting out 6 months ago, but Mata Leao has the best coaches and training partners who help beginners and encourage them. If you’re wanting to get into BJJ, muay thai, etc then this is the best place to go!”

“I’ve had a great first experience with BJJ because of Mata Leao. I can’t stress how fun it is to be able to keep seeing progress. Part of the reason for being able to progress so well is thanks to coach Omar who is very enthusiastic about teaching which makes it easier to learn and remember certain techniques.“

“You will learn some serious skills at this gym! I’ve been training here for about 4 months and the results have been incredible. I have tried a few other gyms in Portland, but my skills really took a leap since I began training at Mata-Leao. This gym has a unique culture and training environment.“

It's the will. Not the skill.

Build Self-Discipline

Your starting fitness and skill levels don’t matter – as long as you put in the effort in every class, you’ll see results.

Gain Confidence

When you step out of your comfort zone in our classes, you allow space for unshakable confidence to grow.

Improve Focus

Mindfulness practices don’t go away when you step off the mat. The skills you gain in class flow into everything you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program in Portland

Are these adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes beginner friendly?

Yes! Almost all of our students had no experience at first. Yet with dedication and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, they’ve become amazing athletes and martial artists. We’ll help you get there, too.

What do I need to bring to my first lesson?

When you first arrive at Mata Leao Combat Sports of Portland, all you need are some comfy athletic clothes and a water bottle. We’ve got the rest covered.

You might be nervous about your first class. That’s perfectly normal! As soon as you see how kind and welcoming the instructors and other students are, that nervousness turns into excitement.

I’m not very athletic, will I feel left out?

No matter your fitness level, you can train here. In martial arts, adults are in a group environment, but every one of us is on our own unique journey. You can go at your own pace. Some advance faster, others slower. That’s okay.

What’s important is that you’re having fun, challenging yourself, making friends, and growing stronger inside and out.

The coordination, strength, and speed come with time – even in those who are not ‘natural athletes’!

Will Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu help with ADD/ADHD?
