Kapincho Jiu-Jitsu was founded in 2003 from Antonio’s mission to share the Gentle Art that transformed his life on and off the mats with his community.
​
After years living and teaching across the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, Antonio returned to Brazil with a clear purpose: to build something meaningful through Jiu-Jitsu. What started as a passion quickly evolved into a thriving movement. Through consistent dedication to coaching, competing, and developing people, his students progressed through the ranks, many earning black belts and going on to open their own academies under the Kapinch’s Flag!
​
Alongside this growth, Antonio established himself at the highest level of the sport, culminating in becoming a Black Belt World Champion in 2016. Today, Kapincho Jiu-Jitsu stands as a respected and proven association, with eight successful schools and a strong, values-driven community behind it.
In 2025, the vision expanded globally. Kapincho Jiu-Jitsu Sydney was born in the Eveleigh precinct, the first international chapter of the association. Founded by Antonio and Renato, long-time friends and accomplished athletes, the Sydney HQ brings world-class Jiu-Jitsu to a new audience.
Whether your goal is confidence, fitness, competition, or personal growth, Kapincho Jiu-Jitsu offers a structured and welcoming environment for both kids and adults.
