Instructor/Competition Team Coach

Alexandre Nunes

Brown Belt

Alexandre has been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for 10 years. He began training under Romulo when he came to the U.S. 4 years ago. Although Alex competed in numerous competitions back in Brazil, he dedicates most of his training time to the students of the Academy. Just a few months ago, Alex started our competition team. He has led us to a 2nd Place Team finish in the P.A. State Tournement and a 1st Place Team finish in the New Jersey State Jiu-Jitsu Championship.
