ARTE BJJ

“I have trained under Professor Ataide for the last eight years and he is hands down one of the best in the world. Professor Ataide Rafael is a phenomenal instructor and competitor with a wealth of experience and an undeniable passion for the art. His teaching style is both technical and approachable, making every class feel productive, engaging, and enjoyable, no matter your skill level. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals or an experienced practitioner wanting to sharpen your game, you'll find exactly what you need with Professor Ataide and Arte BJJ. Professor Ataide makes you feel like family from day one. I can't recommend Arte BJJ enough—if you're in the Conway area, this is the place to train! Conway is lucky to have a World Champion in their backyard.”

“I have been watching professor Ataíde since I saw him compete in Summit II. He is one of the best competitors, teachers, and coaches in the world. It is a dream come true to actually get to train with him. He is very personable in his approach and knows how to push all of his students to bring out the best in them.”
