Professor Oliveira
Mairton Oliveira began his Jiu Jitsu journey at a young age and dedicated his life to the art. A third-degree black belt and founder of the Oliveira BJJ School, he has competed and won at multiple championships throughout a decorated career. His teaching philosophy centres on building real technique in a respectful, family environment — values that still define BJJ ART today.
Professor Steve
Steve grew up in combat sports — boxing from the age of 12 gave him a competitor's mindset that he carried straight into BJJ. Six years of dedicated training later, he holds a brown belt and a competition record to match: one gold and three silvers on the BJJ circuit. But what Steve values most is the teaching. He has a natural ability to break down technique and connect with students at every level, making each class feel both purposeful and enjoyable. If you're new to the mat, Steve will make sure you leave wanting to come back.
Professor Stephen
Stephen's path to black belt is one of the most travelled in the game. It started in California — a chance meeting with MMA legend Erik Paulson led him to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and three months at the Gracie Academy in Torrance sealed it. Back in England, he found his home at London Fight Factory under Luiz Ribeiro, who awarded him every belt he has ever worn, right through to black belt in 2018. He went on to teach at Gracie Barra and along the way claimed European Championship gold twice — at blue belt and purple belt, both in the Masters division. With over 20 years on the mat and a brown belt in Jeet Kune Do, Stephen's knowledge runs deep. He brings all of it to every class.
