RIO COMBAT TEAM (SHARK TANK)

Elite Martial Arts Training for Kids & Adults

Led by James A., First-Degree Brown Belt, under the mentorship of Diogo Gomes, owner and head coach and a highly respected 4th-Degree Black Belt, Rio Combat Team is home to a competitive, disciplined, and family-driven martial arts community.

We offer high-level training for kids (ages 4+), teens, and adults in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi & No-Gi) and Muay Thai, with MMA available for adults only. Every class is coached by active, professional fighters who bring real-world experience from competition straight to the mats.

Train with Active Professionals

Our programs are led by athletes who have competed—and continue to compete—on major stages:

Muay Thai coached by Coach Taki

Adult MMA coached by Zeke Latu

You’ll learn proven, modern techniques designed for real self-defense, conditioning, and performance.

More Than Martial Arts

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu builds strength, balance, flexibility, confidence, and mental resilience. Combined with the striking of Muay Thai and the complete skill set of MMA, our students develop discipline, focus, and self-belief that carries far beyond the gym.

Kids Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai (Ages 4+)

At Rio Combat Team – Shark Tank, we help kids grow into confident, disciplined, and respectful leaders. Under the guidance of professional fighters, children learn practical self-defense, how to stay calm under pressure, and how to handle challenges with confidence and control—all in a safe, supportive environment.
