Pedro Sauer Academy was founded with a clear mission — to build a community where martial arts develop confidence, discipline, and real-world capability.
As part of the respected Pedro Sauer Jiu-Jitsu lineage, our academy continues a tradition of technical excellence while offering a modern and welcoming training environment. With more than 9 Black Belts on our team, students receive high-level instruction grounded in experience, structure, and personal attention.
Whether your goal is to improve fitness, learn practical self-defense, compete, or give your child a structured and empowering activity, our academy provides the right environment to grow.
This is more than training — it is about becoming stronger physically, mentally, and as part of a supportive community.
Eva Katcher is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Pedro Sauer. She began her training in early 2013 at the age of 51 and earned her black belt in 2024, receiving every belt directly under Professor Sauer.
Eva brings a disciplined, detail-oriented approach to her teaching, with a strong focus on gi-based Jiu-Jitsu. She leads the academy’s women’s self-defense program and teaches youth Jiu-Jitsu on Fridays, where she emphasizes fundamentals, confidence, and practical application.
Coach T has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2007 exclusively under Pedro Sauer. He teaches adult gi Jiu-Jitsu and youth Jiu-Jitsu classes, with a strong focus on self-defense, real-world application, and giving students the opportunity to put their Jiu-Jitsu to the test in a safe and controlled environment.
When he’s off the mats, he enjoys spending time with friends at local coffee shops.
