See Below The History Of Our Journey

In 1914 Japanese Jiu-Jitsu Champion Esai Maeda arrived in Brazil, where he was aided by a Brazilian official named Gastao Gracie. In return he taught Gastao's sons Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastao, Jorge & Helio Gracie the ancient art of Jiu-Jitsu.

In 1925 Carlos Gracie and his brothers opened the first Jiu-Jitsu academy in Botafogo a district within Rio de Janeiro. Helio Gracie (the youngest brother) due to his frail health was forbidden from doing anything physical. However he got involved at 16 by substituting for his brother Carlos.

Despite his small frame and weight Helio created an art that depended entirely upon Technique instead of strength or speed. Daring to break away from the Japanese style he went onto modify and refine the art through constant real "No Holds Barred Fights", into what we now know today as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

   

Rickson Gracie the son of Helio Gracie & elder brother of Royce Gracie (of UFC fame) was born into Jiu-Jitsu starting competition at age 6, he started teaching at the age of 15 and at 18 he received his Black Belt. Rickson's fighting career has been to say the least Phenomenal, at 20 Rickson won an inspiring victory against a 230lb, Brazilian Champion named Zulu, who until then enjoyed a 140-0 NHB record.

In 1996 Allen J. Sachetti (seen right) tested for his Blue Belt In BJJ directly under Rickson Gracie. It was a 5 hour test and only 11 out of 18 were passed. After that Mr. Sachetti continued training with Rickson in Private Lessons, Seminars and Group Classes to go onto Earn a Purple Belt.

   
Royler Gracie the younger brother of Rickson and older brother of Royce is the 5th son of Helio Gracie. Royler has been competing as a Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu for the last 20 years. Royler has won the Brazilian World Jiu-Jitsu Championships 4 years running, the Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling Championships for the last 3 years straight and winning numerous NHB fights like the Pride fights held in Japan. Allen J. Sachetti (seen right) began training with Royler when he was with the Rickson Gracie Assoc. and he continued training with and hosting him for seminars until Feb. 2005. Mr. Sachetti was also awarded a special Instructor's Certification from Royler in 2004
   

Renato Migliaccio is a personal friend of Mr. Allen Sachetti who has visited our school often for training in advanced Gi & No Gi. Renato is a Black Belt under Ryan Gracie and a World Champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is the winner of numerous Jiu-Jitsu, Judo & Submission Grappling Tournaments in and out of Brazil. Renato won the gold Medal at the 2002 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championships and he recently competed at the 2007 Abu Dhabi Grappling Championships.

It was a blessing to have him come to our school particularly for the length of the time that he spent with us. His technique and specific athletic drills have been a big benefit to us. We learned a lot from Renato and enjoy his visits to improve us more.

   
Luiz Palharez is quite a uniquely skilled master in Brazilian jiu-Jitsu. He began his Jiu-Jitsu training with the legendary Rolls Gracie in Brazil. After Roll's death Luiz continued training under Rickson Gracie for years. Luiz was brought from Brazil to teach at Rickson's Academy in L.A. and he is a 6th Degree Black Belt given his Black Belt directly from Rickson Gracie. Allen J. Sachetti (seen left) started training with Luiz Palhares in April 2005 and since then Valor Martial Arts has been an Official School of the Luiz Palhares Jiu-Jitsu Association hosting Professor Palhares for seminars on a regular basis. Allen Sachetti was promoted to a well earned Black Belt by Luiz Palahares in November of 2007.
   

Claudio Fontes is the partner of Maestro Luiz Palhares and Mr. Sachetti met him in Brazil at the Luiz Palhares Training Camp. (Seen left in Brazil)

Claudio is a phenomenal teacher who trained me 4 hours a day every day, 7 days a week. I learned a lot from him and got to wrestle with the two 3 time world champions who are under him.

Claudio has an expertise and skill level not often seen. He really upgraded my Jiu-Jitsu and I am very happy to call him my friend.

Luiz and Claudio provide the Luiz Palhares Association a wealth of experience and knowledge that we at Sachetti's Jiu-Jitsu Academy are happy to be a part of.

   


Allen J. Sachetti despite some serious physical set backs has been doing Martial Arts for over 20 years.
