About us

What Is Checkmat?

Checkmat was founded by Leo Viera, a 6th Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Romero ‘Jacare’ Cavalcanti. Leo is one of the Top BJJ Competitors of all time & is famous for combining one of the most entertaining play styles in BJJ with an amazing track record. In addition to winning ADCC, IBJJF Worlds, & IBJJF Pans, he has become one of grappling’s most important coaches by developing athletes such as Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida, Lucas Leite, Karen Antunes, Patti Fontes, Abraão Amorim, & more.

Here at Freedom Jiu Jitsu we are blessed to be part of Checkmat, under Leo Viera, by way of 5th Degree Black Belt Professor Paulo ‘Mushu’ Elsimaani. Professor Rob (1st Degree Black Belt) & Kellie (Brown Belt) Hurd have worked hard to help put in place the Checkmat culture of excellence & community that makes us strong #TogetherAsOne.

BJJ Classes At Freedom Jiu Jitsu

Kids BJJ

BJJ is one of the best sports you can get your child into. We're able to begin building confidence, physical, mental, & emotional fortitude, with real-world usefulness in students as young as 5. We start with an Intro class to become functional at basic movements, then graduate to a more advanced class.

Adult BJJ

These classes include our Gi, No-Gi, & Women's classes. Regardless of your skill level, you're going to benefit from these classes as they are taught by our phenomenal instructors to benefit students of any skill, BJJ style, and experience level.

Fundamental BJJ

Every Thursday night from 6:30-8:00 one of our top instructors breaks down a fundamental position for 6-8 weeks. Everyone from new White Belts to experienced Purple Belts is able to benefit from this intentional approach to building the foundation for a strong, technical, & complete game.

Wrestling

Every fight starts standing, and we strongly believe in blending Judo & Wrestling takedowns into each student's game. We want you to know how to get to the ground safely and on your terms, we are blessed to have an excellent wrestling instructor.
