A Global Kioto Family

Kioto Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu South Shore in Oakdale is one branch of a lineage that stretches from Rio de Janeiro across the United States, all sharing the same roots and standard of excellence.

What This Means

One Lineage, Many Academies

The Kioto name traces back to a single academy in Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, where the tradition began in 1965. Professor Milton Regis trained under that lineage before bringing it to Long Island. Every academy below is part of that same family, connected by a shared standard of instruction and a respect for where this art comes from.

When you train at Kioto in Oakdale, you are training in a tradition with a direct line back to the source. You can read the full story on our history page.
