Jiu-Jitsu legend Fernando Tererê is working hard to take his creative style of BJJ to the world.

Recently he went to Europe to visit three academies in the UK linked to his team.

“We have branches at Bournemouth, Southampton, Andover and Isle of Wight. A fifth one will be opening soon in Spain,” tells us Tererê.

Tererê reveals how the idea of the branches in the UK came about: “One of my students, Jimmy Johnstone, liked the way I taught my classes and decided to open the schools.”

Besides the network of academies, Tererê is also ahead of a social work in his native community of Cantagalo, in Rio de Janeiro.

The Tererê Kids Projects helps kids from the community to find a positive activity through Jiu-Jitsu.
