Support the Journey: Join Us for a Fundraiser BJJ Seminar with Professor Jair Lourenco
Community and growth are at the heart of everything we do at Refuge BJJ. We believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a martial art; it is a shared journey of discipline, technique, and mutual support. This February, we have a unique opportunity to come together as a team to elevate our training and support our competitors as they prepare for the highest levels of competition.
We are thrilled to announce a special Fundraiser BJJ Seminar featuring the legendary Professor Jair Lourenco, taking place this coming Thursday, February 19th, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
A Seminar with a Purpose
This isn’t just another training session. This is a donation-based seminar designed to help our academy reach a major milestone. All funds raised during this event will go directly toward hosting our Masters Worlds Camp later this year.
Specifically, these donations will help us bring out the world-renowned Head Coach, Professor Bruno Moreno, to lead an intensive training camp right here at Refuge BJJ. Professor Moreno’s expertise is instrumental in preparing our athletes for the Masters Worlds and Jiu-Jitsu Con in August 2026. By participating in this seminar, you aren’t just improving your own game—you are investing in the success of your teammates and the reputation of our academy on the global stage.

Meet Professor Jair Lourenco
Leading the seminar is Professor Jair Lourenco, a black belt whose name is synonymous with high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. As a leader of the Kimura BJJ team, Professor Jair has coached some of the most elite fighters in the world. His technical knowledge is vast, and his ability to break down complex movements into applicable, high-percentage techniques is second to none.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your guard passing, master new submissions, or understand the strategic nuances of competition-style BJJ, Professor Jair brings a wealth of experience that is rare to find in a single seminar setting. This is a golden opportunity to learn from one of the best in the business while staying right here in our home gym.
Who Should Attend?
This seminar is open to all Teen and Adult students. We also welcome advanced youth students to participate, provided they have received prior permission from Coach Josh.
Because this is a community-focused fundraiser, we want to see as many faces on the mats as possible. Whether you are a white belt just starting your journey or a seasoned black belt looking for that extra competitive edge, there is something for everyone in Professor Jair’s curriculum.
Why Your Support Matters
Training for a world-class competition like the Masters Worlds requires more than just sweat and hours on the mat; it requires elite-level guidance. By bringing Professor Bruno Moreno to Refuge BJJ, we are providing our competitors with the best possible preparation. These camps build camaraderie, sharpen technical skills, and instill the mental toughness needed to stand on the podium.
Your donations help cover the travel and coaching costs associated with bringing top-tier talent to our facility. When one of our athletes wins, the whole academy wins. This seminar is your chance to be a part of that victory.
Don’t Miss Out! Let’s pack the mats, learn from a master, and show the strength and generosity of the Refuge BJJ family. We look forward to seeing you all there at 6:30 PM!
