I am a black belt and multiple-time international Jiu-Jitsu champion with over 20 years of experience in the sport, both competing and teaching students of all levels — from beginners to advanced.

I’ve had the privilege of seeing Coach Salua Borges’s work firsthand, and I highly recommend her.

Beyond being a highly accomplished multi-time champion and a true reference in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, what truly sets Salua apart is the way she teaches. She has the ability to adapt her coaching for all ages — adults, teenagers, and children — always with great attention, technical excellence, and dedication.

The work she does with children with ADHD and autism is truly exceptional. With kindness, patience, and genuine care, she creates a welcoming yet disciplined environment that helps develop confidence, coordination, focus, and self-esteem.

More than developing athletes, she impacts lives through the sport.

That’s why I confidently recommend Coach Salua Borges as an outstanding professional.
