LEARN MORE ABOUT
OUR HISTORY
Head coach Matthew Falavinha and owner Daniel Motta established Combate Academy in October 2023 to bring high-level Jiu-Jitsu to Cross Roads, Texas.
In fact, Matthew has trained for over 10 years under the World Champion-building Soul Fighters founder. His passion for BJJ was ignited instantly. Alternatively, Daniel is new to Jiu-Jitsu with only a few years of experience, but his passion is equally contagious. When he trained under Matt he was warmly welcomed to the community and quickly inspired. Therefore, what started off as a hobby transformed into a full-time career as an academy owner thanks to the community he met. Together they celebrate their love for teaching by continuing to positively change lives. Every day they continue to stay motivated by their student’s growing confidence. They find purpose through all the shared success, perseverance, and camaraderie.
