Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Self Defense with Romulo Melo

Romulo Melo: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Self-Defense

With Romulo Melo

Saturday, June 13
1:00pm – 3:00pm
$30

Train with Romulo Melo for a focused, two-hour workshop on how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu actually works in real-world self-defense.

This is not sport Jiu-Jitsu. This is about what to do when a fight hits the ground—how to stay calm, take control, and get yourself to safety.

What You’ll Learn

• Stay calm and make decisions when a fight hits the ground

• Escape bad positions and get back to your feet

• Control someone under pressure without relying on sport rules

• Know when to disengage vs. stay and dominate position

• Apply simple, high-percentage techniques that work in real situations

This workshop is especially valuable if you train Krav Maga, Boxing, or Kickboxing and want to round out your ground skills.

About Romulo Melo

Romulo Melo is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt from Rio de Janeiro with roots in the Gracie lineage, training under Royler Gracie, and Vinicius Aieta. A 4–0 professional MMA fighter, he teaches a pressure-tested, 3-dimensional Jiu-Jitsu built for Gi, No-Gi, and real-world application.

Who This Is For

• Complete beginners who want real self-defense skills

• Strikers who want to feel confident if a fight goes to the ground

• Experienced grapplers looking to sharpen their self-defense approach

• Anyone who wants practical, pressure-tested training

No prior experience required.

Why This Matters

Most fights don’t look like a BJJ match. There are no rules, no points, and no reset.

This workshop focuses on control, decision-making, and getting back to safety—not winning a round.
