About Our Academy
ABOUT
Elevate Jiu Jitsu is a place where everyone cares about each other. Everyone knows everyone and is treated equally with respect. There is no hierarchy in our BJJ academy. We strive to be neighborhood helpers, whether that’s for kids in school or adults looking for fitness. Our competitive BJJ focus is supported by our close-knit community. We host group events, including holiday parties and BBQs to bring students closer together. On the mat, our leaders: Professor Filemon Teixeira and Instructor Cameron Hamel, keep everyone motivated. Students are treated like family and are encouraged to reach new heights. We invite everyone – from competitive high school wrestlers to families – to hop on the mat at Elevate Jiu Jitsu!
HISTORY
Elevate Jiu Jitsu’s journey started from humble beginnings. Our two owners: Professor Filemon Teixeira and Instructor Cameron Hamel, have different backgrounds – from Brazil to Longwood. They came together at their previous academy, and decided to open their own place. In July 2024, they started Elevate Jiu Jitsu in Instructor Cameron’s garage, training many families that they had previously trained with. This led to our opening at our new Longwood location in January 2025. The two have brought a blended mix of experience, including Professor Filemon training in Brazil Gutho/Atos. They hope to combine their talents to become a home for Longwood Jiu Jitsu and everyone wanting to train BJJ in and around Orlando.

Your kids can become introduced to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in our kids BJJ programs (split between 4-6 year olds and 7-12 year olds). We also have our adult BJJ classes for those 13+. No matter your age, experience, or physical shape, you can get your Jiu Jitsu journey started and rise higher and higher at Elevate Jiu Jitsu!
Kids Jiu Jitsu
(4-6 years old)
(7-12 years old)
As our students progress in age, their BJJ classes stay fun, but become more concrete on purpose. We create an atmosphere where physical fitness is emphasized. At the same time, we encourage students to become competitors if they wish to do so, and show more competition-based techniques for $125/month.
Adult Jiu Jitsu
(13+)
Our adult BJJ classes are a mixed bag of all the benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Students improve on their fitness and physical health while competition is encouraged. We strive to create a strong competitive team as students grow, including high school wrestlers who are in their offseason. Nevertheless, we are always here for all the other reasons people train in BJJ for $150/month.
What Our Students Are Saying
In addition to their technical expertise, our instructors are also excellent teachers who know how to create a supportive and challenging learning environment. They understand that every student is unique and tailor their approach to meet the needs of each individual.
See why our students say why you should be training at our school:
“Professor Filemon has a lot of love, affection and care for all his students! He is always very dedicated and hard-working in everything he does.”
