Special Programs
At Jesters Jiujitsu, we proudly offer two special programs tailored to essential pillars of our community. Our Beginners Course welcomes newcomers to build strength, confidence, and connection in a fun, supportive environment. For our youngest grapplers, our Kids' Program sparks joy, discipline, and growth, laying the foundation for lifelong resilience. Together, these programs embody our mission to create a space where everyone can thrive.
Beginners Course
Step onto the mats and into your power. Our Beginners Course is more than training it's a movement. Designed to create a comfortable and safe space, this course is the perfect place to start your jiu-jitsu journey. Learn the foundations with all the details, building confidence step by step. Join a community of fierce, fun, and fearless individuals as we roll, laugh, and grow together. Because here, you’re not just learning jiu-jitsu—you’re unlocking your inner legend.
Junior Jesters
Our Kids' Program is where confidence meets play! Designed to nurture focus, discipline, and teamwork, this program teaches kids the art of jiujitsu in a fun and supportive environment. With every roll and scramble, young grapplers build resilience, learn problem-solving, and form friendships that last a lifetime. It’s more than a class—it’s a foundation for growth, both on and off the mats.
Meet Our Coaches
Antonio Vinicius
Head Coach
With over 21 years of experience, including training, teaching and competing, and being awarded the rank of BLACK BELT at the age of 20 years old, Professor Antonio has dedicated his life to the art of Jiu Jitsu.
Professor Antonio believes the principles of Jiu Jitsu—discipline, responsibility, leadership, and self-defense—are transferable to all aspects of life (which let’s admit, we all need in today’s world!)
Known for fostering an approachable and inclusive environment, Professor Antonio embraces Jiu Jitsu as a practice for individuals and families alike, helping them improve physically, mentally, and socially. His passion lies in building a sense of belonging, where every practitioner becomes part of a supportive community, committed to personal growth and teamwork. Just what The Jesters stand for!
Don’t hesitate to stop him for a chat if you seen him around the gym. He would love to meet you in person!
Assistant Coach
Abood Maklef
With only a few years of actual experience coupled with many years of playing around, Abood has dedicated his dying soul to jiu jitsu.
Abood is an avid video gamer, a serious foodie and a devoted cat lover, although he will never take care of one himself.
Known for his charming smile and tiny finger heart gestures, Abood motivates his students by showing them just how much they suck all the time.
Aboods favourite jiu jitsu submission is sticking his fingers in his opponents’ ears.
It is wise to always maintain at least 3 meters distance from Abood as he is highly unapproachable and prefers not to make eye contact.
