About The Professor
Professor Juliano
Biography
From Rio Grande do Sul to Dublin
Professor Juliano grew up on the mats in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil — one of the sport's heartlands — training and competing through every belt on his way to Black Belt.
Years of daily training, competition, and coaching in Brazil shaped a teaching style built on precision: every technique broken down to the detail that makes it actually work, not just look right.
After moving to Ireland, he founded Juliano Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Dublin inside Energie Fitness Citywest to bring that same standard of instruction to Irish residents, Brazilian expats, and anyone ready to start.
