About Us
o start his own academy because of the large number of students he had.
Previously, in 1989, his brother — Sensei Edson Carvalho — had left to fight in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he quickly attained and established great fame. So with intentions to honor his brother Sensei Ricardo Carvalho named the academy after him.
At that time, Jiu-Jitsu was being promoted in the state of Bahia in Brazil, although the largest concentration of fighters was in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and the city of Manaus in the state of Amazonas.
Sensei Edson Carvalho is a native of Bahia and because he already had a large following and respected name in Rio de Janeiro, he was able to command a greater interest and his fellow citizens; great admiration thus he was the catalyst for the growth of Jiu-Jitsu in Bahia.
