CANTAGALO JIU-JITSU LONDON
Cantagalo Jiu-Jitsu London is a premier Jiu Jitsu academy in London which was founded in 2018 by world-class athlete and multiple-time world champion Jackson Sousa, bringing the true spirit of Rio de Janeiro’s jiu-jitsu from the favela to the heart of London.
Born from Jackson’s vision and passion, the gym reflects his resilience and commitment to excellence, developing an effective jiu-jitsu teaching method and curriculum.
Our mission is to provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of experience or skill level. We have built a supportive community in London and inspire practitioners around the world.
Join us to improve your wellbeing, learn from world-class coaches, and become part of a community defined by our motto:
“Each One Teach One.”
WHO WE ARE
Etiquette & Privacy
●We change in the changing rooms, and keep our belongings in the locker.
● We greet our coach and team mates when stepping on the mat.
● We line up in belt order.
Motivation & Respect
● We train together without ego.
● Competitors and hobbyists respect each other’s goals.
● We can decline a roll without giving a reason.
Family & Inclusion
● We are friendly, inclusive and treat each other like family.
● We ensure everyone feels safe.
● We treat the club’s children, our future champions, with extra care and “carinho”.
Clothing & Hygiene
● We train in a clean Gi and use a rash guard for Gi and no-gi.
● No jewellery, pockets or zippers. We wear shoes when we’re not on the mat.
● We cut our nails, wash our feet and hands, tie our hair back, and don’t train when we’re sick.
