Top 10 Classes & Workshops in Zona Sul (South Zone), State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

November 25, 2021 Joeann Galban

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Amazing teachers, great content, and very helpful team. I did the one-year program, and learned much quicker than I imagined. The classes are structured to share useful and well-organized content in a way that encourages students to start speaking from day one... the best way to learn! 100% recommend.

Brazilian Black Belt

Reviewed By joseph_lassen

I am from the United States and was just starting jiu jitsu when I found Blackbelt. For the past couple of months it's been a great experience at this gym. Everyone is very friendly. Even if you don't speak any Portuguese, everyone will make sure you understand the lesson. Everyone is cautious about safety as well, which is great in any martial arts gym. Highly recommend this gym.
