Who is Rafael "Formiga" Barbosa
Rafael "Formiga" Barbosa is one of the most talented and exciting Jiu-jitsu competitors and trainers in the WORLD. He is highly sought after for his amazing ability to improve the talent and skill of whoever he trains with. He brings a wealth of knowledge, understanding and personality to the mat. Not only is he a great Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor and teacher; but he is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
We are extremely lucky and blessed to have Formiga as our main Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach and teacher. He is with us 4-days a week and has currently helped all of us achieve many of our jiu-jitsu goals and dreams.
Training with Formiga
Every Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu student will have the ability to train with Formiga every Wednesday night from 7:30-9PM. But if you are part of the Formiga BJJ program, you can train with him 4-days a week.
What is the Difference between Regular BJJ and Formiga BJJ?
Our regular BJJ classes for students who are just learning jiu-jitsu or for individuals who just enjoy getting a great workout and love this amazing martial art.
But, if you are looking to compete or maximize and exceed your jiu-jitsu potential, then I highly recommend training with Formiga.
