Coach
Alex Brandão is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor and coach originally from Brazil who moved to Australia in 2017. He discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2021, and the sport quickly became a life-changing passion that also strengthened his connection with his brother, a black belt with over 15 years of experience in the sport.
Since then, Alex has built an impressive competition record, earning some of the most recognised titles in Australian Jiu-Jitsu, including multiple State Championships, Australian National Champion, and Pan Pacific Champion, as well as a silver medal at the European Championship. He has also competed internationally in the United States, Japan, and Europe.
Alex has travelled extensively around the world to train in countries such as Brazil, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, and the United States, and has cross-trained in elite academies across the globe. Exposure to different high-level training environments and coaching styles has helped him develop a broad and modern understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Today, Alex brings his global experience, competitive mindset, and passion for teaching to A+ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy, where he is committed to helping every student develop confidence, skill, and a lifelong love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
