Professor Erick Chamalé
BJJ Black Belt | Self-Defense Specialist | 18+ Years Experience
Background
Professor Erick Chamalé is a first-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with over 18 years of dedicated training and coaching under SBA. His journey in martial arts has always been guided by one core belief: BJJ should empower people—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
With a strong foundation in real-world self-defense, Erick teaches with a purpose that goes beyond sport. His classes are designed to instill discipline, confidence, self-respect, and resilience—making them a powerful fit for students of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds.
Teaching Philosophy
What sets Professor Erick apart is his self-defense-first mindset. Every class starts from the feet, with a focus on Judo throws and standing techniques—preparing students for realistic situations where control and awareness matter most. He views BJJ as not only a martial art but a life tool—built to help smaller or physically weaker individuals learn to manage and neutralize larger, stronger opponents.
Class Focus
Standing Techniques First: Judo throws, takedowns, and self-defense drills
Real-World Application: Training designed for control in high-pressure situations
Complete Conditioning: Builds cardiovascular strength, endurance, flexibility & coordination
Mental Growth: Develops discipline, focus, and self-esteem through every session
Vibe of His Classes
Erick’s classes are structured, empowering, and deeply personal. Students can expect to leave every session not just with better technique, but with a stronger sense of self. Whether you’re brand new to the mats or returning for deeper refinement, you’ll find a respectful, ego-free environment focused on growth, safety, and progress.
