About us
Carbon SG offers the highest level of no-gi Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling training in South Florida. Located in Fort Lauderdale, we are led by world-class coaches, AJ Sousa and Martin Corvetto, with deep competition experience and a clear mission: to build an inclusive community, help every member train with purpose, and break the status quo of traditional Jiu Jitsu.
We don’t do random techniques or ego. Carbon SG is built around a structured curriculum that blends elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling methods acquired through many years of experience from our tenured coaches. Whether you’re a total beginner or an elite competitor, you’ll find a training path tailored to your specific Jiu Jitsu goals.
Progress Is Intentional
Progress shouldn’t be accidental. Our classes are carefully sequenced (fundamentals first, then strategy, transitions, and advanced systems) so you build skill on a solid foundation.

- Anyone who values community and accountability
- Men and women seeking confidence and self-defense
- Complete beginners with no martial arts background

You just need to show up willing to learn.

Community First
