Meet Professor Robson Rezende
Robson Lopes de Rezende is a Jiu Jitsu Black Belt and Muay Thai instructor, with a journey built on discipline, consistency, and a high technical level. Promoted to black belt directly by Demian Maia—one of the greatest names in the history of world Jiu-Jitsu and MMA—Robson carries an internationally respected lineage and a strong foundation both on and off the mats.
Technical Background in Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai
Robson developed his base with the Demian Maia Jiu-Jitsu team, where he built a technical, strategic, and efficient style. In parallel, he also specialized in Muay Thai, training at the traditional Chute Boxe in Curitiba—one of the most recognized academies in the world for developing complete MMA athletes.
During his time at Chute Boxe, in addition to training Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu, Robson also worked as a Jiu-Jitsu instructor, helping integrate the technical connection between stand-up fighting and ground fighting—an essential combination for modern martial arts development.
Competitive Experience
As an athlete, Robson competed in official Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, including events organized by recognized federations such as IBJJF and CBJJE. He competed at black belt in the Master divisions, earning strong results that reflect consistency, technical preparation, and high-level competitive experience.
His championship experience directly enhances the quality of his classes, bringing methodology, strategy, and real fight awareness into the academy environment—both for Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai.
MMA Work and International Experience
Beyond his career as an athlete and instructor, Robson Lopes de Rezende was also part of the coaching team for his wife, Talita Rezende, a professional MMA fighter who competed in Bellator—one of the biggest MMA organizations in the world.

- Technical and strategic preparation
