About Cobra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Recently relocated to Plano, Cobra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial arts training academy that teaches adults and children the art of self-defense. Believing that everyone can benefit from the confidence-building aspects of jiu-jitsu—namely, the idea that a weaker person can bring down a larger opponent using proper technique—the academy trains children and adults of all skill levels in classes that teach respect and discipline. The coaching staff is led by brothers Eddie and Eder Ricardo, Cobra’s Brazlian Jiu-Jitsu professors, who have both trained in martial arts since they were children in Brazil. Eddie has also placed at the top of many jiu-jitsu world championships, and is married to jiu-jitsu world champion and fellow Cobra trainer Monique Ricardo. Padded floors are the central feature in their spacious school, where students grapple and practice holds and sparring during classes led by the Ricardos and their other experienced instructors. Cobra also offers competitive belt programs for members of all ages.
