Mamute: Portuguese for “mammoth”
Pronounced Maa-mooch
/mɐ.ˈmu.te/
At Mamute Jiu Jitsu, martial arts changes lives. Mamute provides a level of training that can’t be found anywhere else. With a unique focus on resilience, confidence and hard work, we have transformed the lives of countless students. Our students come from all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. We believe that Jiu Jitsu is more than a sport, hobby or workout – it’s a way of living.
Thanks to our owner and head instructor, Professor Bruno “Mamute” Paulista, students at Mamute are incredibly well-rounded martial artists.
Not only is Bruno a highly trained black belt with a World and Pan American No-Gi Champion title to show for it, but he has a rare training background. Professor Bruno is a representative of both the Jiu Jitsu family lines: Gracie and Fadda. Bruno is one of just two black belts in the United States that the Fadda line recognizes. Because of this, students of Mamute Jiu Jitsu are trained in a way that reflects both sides of Jiu Jitsu’s most influential families – receiving an education unlike any other BJJ school in the country.

Mamute Jiu Jitsu is built on perseverance.
Just two months after closing the deal on his new Jiu Jitsu academy, founder Bruno Paulista got into a car wreck, causing him traumatic brain injury and devastating his career. But despite every obstacle in his way, Bruno kept going. After relearning how to eat, walk and perform everyday tasks, his next priority was returning to BJJ. Despite having to undergo several surgeries while running the academy, Bruno was dedicated to continuing to spread his passion to the next generation of martial artists.
In 2014, Mamute Jiu Jitsu underwent major changes – leaving its parent company, earning a new name and moving to a new location. Years later, we are finally reaping the rewards of all of our hard work. Mamute Jiu Jitsu has welcomed hundreds of students through our doors and has become a staple in the Orange community. Professor Bruno has not only returned to competing, but is more passionate about BJJ than ever before. He refuses to be stagnant – always learning, further developing his skills and attending seminars in order to ensure he is providing his students with the highest quality training possible.
Ages 2-4
Toddler Class
BJJ has been proven to have a wide array of benefits for toddlers. At Mamute, we strive to give these little ones a place to improve their gross motor skills while learning the basic movements that will be needed when they move up to the older class.
Ages 4-7
Mini Mamutes
When it comes to self defense, BJJ empowers a smaller individual to fight against a larger opponent. But the advantages don’t stop there. BJJ helps kids gain confidence, learn discipline, focus their energy, foster respect for others, and be a part of a one-of-a-kind community full of future friends
Ages 8-13
Little Mamutes
A huge part of what makes BJJ so great is that it doesn’t just strengthen the body, it strengthens the mind as well. Many parents worry that Jiu Jitsu won’t be the right fit for their child because he or she has a lot of energy. But this couldn’t be further from the truth!
