About Us
-
Best Way Jiu Jitsu, founded in 1996 by Andre “Dedeco” Almeida, has quickly become a force in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world, both in Brazil and in the US. After an incredibly successful career as a Jiu Jitsu practioner, Andre dedicated himself to ensuring that his expertise in Jiu Jitsu was passed on to the next generation. To do this, he formed his own school and called it Best Way Jiu Jitsu. To date, he has graduated 26 Black Belts after rigorous training and testing protocols. The Best Way family is represented on the Champions podium at all major tournaments.
In 2003, Best Way came to the USA! There are now 10 large, well-respected schools in the Northeast. Best Way is making its presence known in all of the East Coast tournaments with a string of victories. Luigi Mondelli continues Dedeco’s tradition of hard work, excellent instruction and competitive training. The Best Way family works hard and plays hard.
