A lifelong practitioner
Leandro began training in childhood and has spent his life studying how Jiu-Jitsu works—and how people learn it.
His career spans competition, the international growth of Checkmat, and coaching at American Kickboxing Academy. He has worked with world-class combat-sports athletes, including Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
At Prisma, that experience is not used to create distance. It becomes patience, precise details, thoughtful progressions, and the ability to meet each student where they are.
How Leandro teaches
Complex technique is broken into clear decisions students can understand and repeat.
Age, experience, goals, temperament, and readiness all shape the right next step.
High standards and genuine care allow serious training to remain welcoming.
Confidence, responsibility, composure, and resilience matter beyond the mat.
