History Nova União – New Union Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

The New Union BJJ was established in 1995. The New Union developed from the great Jiu-Jitsu Academies of Andres Pederneiras and Alexander Wendell coming together to compete and raise the level of BJJ professional standards yet another notch in Brazil.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is considered one of the most efficient martial arts, in which you do not use your own power, rather you manipulate the power of your opponent. It is full contact and a great form of fitness and well being for your life.

Philosophy

The Jiu-Jitsu philosophy is to transform into a supremely secure and confident individual, through discovering and utilizing the self-defense technique of leverage power, thereby creating the possibility to win against an opponent who is physically stronger and heavier. This notion gives a sensation of invincibility which extends too many facets of your life. The practice of BJJ creates an energetic balance clearing the way for a student to conduct their life positively and in a way of good being. It sets a student in a healthy environment and creates a strong relationship / bond teamwork.

The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sport is the best way to minimize, harmonise and overpass our limit, to capture the perfection of the movements and true identity.
