Bruddas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was established in 1997 and is described as one of the original, longest-running Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academies in Northern California. The program is led by Professor Mario Cerezo, a 4th Degree Black Belt under 7th Degree Black Belt Master Charles Gracie. Professor Mario Cerezo has produced over 15 black belts during more than 20 years as a black belt instructor and owns and operates this academy. The program is part of the Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Association and a Charles Gracie Affiliated Academy, with the Sacramento location listed at www.bruddasbjj.com. The program notes that kids are a specialty, refers to itself as offering Sacramento's best Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and invites families to try a free class. Families are instructed that kids should wear comfortable workout clothes and will be barefoot on the mats.
