WHY JM?
Professor Juliano Macario began his martial arts journey
at the age of 7 through Capoeira. He later trained in
Karate and Judo before discovering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2000 under the guidance of Claudionor Cardoso, who became his mentor in both the art and the sport.
At 18, while still a blue belt, Juliano had his first
professional fight. As a black belt, he went on to win
important titles, including the World Championship in Brazil
and a championship in Australia. In MMA, he built a
professional record of 6 wins and 1 loss.
In 2015, he moved to Canada, where he began teaching
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and sharing his passion for the sport.
Among his most notable achievements are winning the
Montreal International IBJJF in 2016 and the International
Masters in Brazil in 2024.
Today, Juliano leads his academy with a focus on authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, practical self-defence, and building confidence through disciplined, accessible, and
transformative training for students of all ages.

Our Purpose
To bring Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to families, children, and new students, showing its true value as a tool for self-defence, discipline, confidence, and physical development.
At JM BJJ, we believe Jiu-Jitsu goes beyond physical training. It is also about confidence, safety, and family connection.
This approach gives families greater peace of mind and strengthens the connection between students, parents, and the academy.
- Live mat cameras allow parents and guardians to follow classes in real time from our waiting area;
- A welcoming family environment where parents feel included without disrupting the students’ focus;
- Live class streaming via YouTube, making it possible to watch remotely from anywhere;
- More transparency and peace of mind, reinforcing trust in our teaching and class structure.
