Joaquim Valente is a Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu professor. He is the Valente brothers’ youngest brother. In 2007, Joaquim relocated to Miami to pursue a degree in criminology at Barry University. With his unique style, great teaching abilities, and incredible charm, he immediately won over everyone..Joaquim, like his brothers, had Grandmaster Hélio as his main teacher and trained weekly with the Grand Master. He was also very fortunate to spend many vacations and long weekends living with Grand Master Helio in his ranch. Joaquim played a pivotal role in the development of our curriculums as he was still living in Brazil and could work with Grandmaster Hélio directly and provide Pedro and Gui with valuable information.
