Caio Terra
Invictus Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Suriname is a proud affiliate of the Caio Terra Academy.
The professor
The only ten-time world no-gi champion
Professor Caio Terra holds the distinction of being the only ten-time International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Black Belt World No-Gi Champion. He has also won the IBJJF Black Belt World Championship with the gi twice, in 2008 and 2013.
He began jiu-jitsu at sixteen in Rio de Janeiro, with little enthusiasm at first. His dedication intensified after he received his white and blue belts, and he began training multiple times a day. He earned his black belt in 2006 under Grandmasters Paulo Mauricio Strauch and Reyson Gracie — after just three years of training.
He moved to the United States in 2007, teaching at Cesar Gracie Academies before opening his own academy in San Jose in 2011. Since 2004 he has been instructing students and producing world champions.
The association
What affiliation means for you
The Caio Terra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Association was established in 2012 and now operates across 13 states and 6 nations, with over 25 schools and 1000 members.
For students at Invictus it means the classes you take in Paramaribo follow the Caio Terra Academy curriculum, and that head coach Jürgen has maintained a direct instructor connection with Professor Terra in California since joining the association in 2017.
