About us
Who we are
Invictus is primarily a BJJ school, founded in 2014, operating as a non-profit since February 2024. We put the sport alongside personal development, structure and community impact.
What we are for
To empower people of all ages through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — for fitness, self-defense, competition or personal growth — in a community rooted in kindness, integrity, humility and respect.
Our background
How Invictus started
- February 2014
Jürgen founds Invictus after more than seven years of training, rather than let the sport fade away in Suriname.
- 2017
A lasting instructor connection with Professor Caio Terra in California, whose academy curriculum we have taught since.
- February 2024
Invictus becomes a non-profit, governed by a volunteer board.
- 2025
A second location opens at Atlas Fitness Center on the Aquariusstraat.
- Today
A full kids program, a coaching team of seven, and national BJJ tournaments organised here in Suriname.
