Know a little bit of our history

ZR Team Association

Established in June 2016, the ZR Team  has consistently achieved outstanding results in national and international competitions from its inception.

At the ZR Team, our mission extends beyond producing skilled athletes and fighters. We are dedicated to nurturing and mentoring children and young individuals, instilling in them the true philosophy and ethos of Jiu-Jitsu.

Leading the ZR Team is José Olímpio da Rocha Neto, also known as Zé Radiola, a 5th-degree black belt and a disciple of the esteemed Master Carlos Gracie Jr.

Zé Radiola, the esteemed teacher and founder of ZR Team, attained his black belt in 2001 under the tutelage of Master Carlos Gracie Jr.

In our pursuit of excellence, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of skill, discipline, and integrity. Our commitment to continuous improvement drives us to push the boundaries of our abilities and strive for mastery in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Moreover, excellence extends beyond the mats; it is ingrained in our interactions with our students, our community, and the world at large. We aim to inspire excellence in others by serving as role models of dedication, resilience, and sportsmanship.

At the ZR Team, excellence is not an endpoint but a journey—a journey of continual growth, learning, and refinement. It is this relentless pursuit of excellence that sets us apart and fuels our passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Best place to study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In Hungary for sure, but in my opinion even in Europe. Top level instructors, great attitude and a lot of knowledge. People are kind and helpful. Teaching in English so guests are very welcome here. Max Carvalho is one of a kind personality. 100% recommended

I trained here for 3 months whilst staying in Budapest. Great value for money with a lot of classes in both gi and no-gi. I felt very welcome. Max is a very knowledgable and good teacher. The location was really convenient and in the central part of town. Nice open space and new mats. I'm a relatively new white belt, and felt welcome to all classes. Plenty of other white belts to train with as well as friendly upper level belts. Would definitely recommend to a newbie as well. Would love to come back here when I'm next in Budapest.

I've been here for little while and besides the authentic headcoach and his robust expertise and really never ending repertoire of techniques, everybody is umble and kind! Truly THE place to be at when it comes to martial arts. I'd rate this even higher, if I could
