Brazil-021 Houston Jiu-Jitsu

Marcos Cerqueira, a fourth-degree black belt, leads Brazil-021 Houston Jiu-Jitsu, a family-owned academy on Renwick Drive that he opened in 2008 after formative training in Rio de Janeiro. The school belongs to the Brazil-021 network founded by black belts Terencio and Hannette Staack — the ‘021’ honors Rio’s area code — and Houston students train the same gi and no-gi curriculum taught across the team’s academies. Programs start at age three and run through adults, covering kids’ and teens’ jiu-jitsu with an anti-bullying emphasis, self-defense fundamentals, and advanced training. The schedule is strikingly commuter-friendly, with 5:30 AM, lunchtime, and evening blocks on weekdays. Members rate the academy 4.9 across 164 Google reviews.
