Our Story

IBJJF-Recognized Academy Founded by a 7-Time World Champion

Global Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is Naples, Florida's premier IBJJF-recognized BJJ academy — founded and led by 7-time World Champion Mestre Denis "Deninho" Mitchel Pinto.

Mestre Deninho didn't open a gym to train elite competitors. He opened one to create a place where any person — regardless of age, fitness level, or experience — could discover what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is really about.

At Global BJJ, you train alongside an active world medalist and a coaching team of dedicated black belt instructors who share that mission: to help every student grow stronger, more confident, and more capable on and off the mat.

Why Families & Athletes Choose Global BJJ in Naples

Train Under a 7-Time World Champion

Not many gyms can say their head coach has won on the world stage — let alone seven times. Mestre Denis "Deninho" founded Global BJJ to bring championship-level instruction to Naples. When you train here, you're learning from someone who has mastered BJJ at the highest level.

A Welcoming Community

From three-year-olds in their first gi to adults stepping on the mats for the very first time, Global BJJ is built for everyone. Mestre Deninho designed this gym around a family atmosphere where students support each other, grow together, and build relationships that go well beyond the mats.

Skills That Last a Lifetime

Great BJJ instruction teaches you how to move. Great coaching teaches you how to think. At Global BJJ, every class builds physical ability, mental resilience, and the confidence that carries into every part of your life — on and off the mat.
