The Brazil-021 School of Jiu-Jitsu was founded by Jiu-Jitsu black belts Andre "Negão" Terencio and Hannette Staack. The school began with the vision of unifying its staff and creating a solid team, not only to train champions, but also to help its members become good citizens and family members. Brazil-021 is not an Academy reserved solely for the "tough" and powerful, but rather for all men, women, children, and people who are unsure of their abilities.The name and logo were inspired by the state of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. The numbers - 021, signify the telephone area code for Rio de Janeiro where Jiu-Jitsu was initially most strongly developed. Jiu-Jitsu is now practiced worldwide, and because of this globalization, the school was given a name with an English foundation: BRAZIL-021 SCHOOL OF JIU-JITSU.The Team is composed with schools in Brazil, the United States, and Canada.
