Today, We Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Valente Brothers

On this special day, we commemorate not only the day when Professor Pedro Valente arrived in Miami 30 years ago, but also when he taught his first private class to his roommate, Jimmy Robertson, in the Pearson Residential Hall at the University of Miami.

This moment is more than an anniversary; it’s the birthday of Valente Brothers Jujutsu—a dream that began in a dorm room and has since blossomed into a global family.

While Gui and Joaquim were in Brazil at the time, finishing grade school, that day marked the beginning of a shared journey for the three Valente brothers. They provided unwavering support from afar until they could reunite in Miami, solidifying a family mission that has grown into a worldwide community.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our mentors, most notably Grand Master Hélio Gracie and Grand Master Dr. Pedro Valente Sr., whose wisdom and teachings guide us every day.

To all who have been part of this journey—our students, instructors, and family—your trust and support are the pillars of our school. #valentebrothers #753code

During the month of august, Professor Pedro Valente had the distinct honor of conducting a training session for the Special Agents from the FBI New York’s Firearms and Tactical Training Unit and various operations divisions, including Special Agents and Task Force Officers from the Joint Terrorism Task Force at Vitor Shaolin’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Scotchdale, New Jersey.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to Vitor Shaolin for this invitation. His academy, with its state-of-the-art facilities, provides an excellent training environment for all martial arts practitioners.

The opportunity for Professor Pedro to teach such dedicated professionals was a privilege. We are always proud to contribute to the readiness of those committed to serving and protecting our nation.
