Customer Testimonials

I’ve known Nick and Caio for a long time but was always hesitant about joining. Our academy, the Mad Tiger Academy, joined this past year and it has been nothing short of amazing. The group of people you are associated with are all amazing individuals and I look forward to visitng San Jose more often!

~ Jeremy Nitta

I had been teaching and running gyms part time for 10 years. Thanks to professor Caio and everyone at CTA, my gym, the Caio Terra Academy - Irving, has finally started gaining traction. It’s my hope in the next 1-3 years I can do what I love full time! I can’t recommend CTA enough!

~ Colling Grayson

Questions & Answers

AFTER I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION, WHAT IS THE PROCESS LIKE?Expand

We will send you an email outlining the benefits, requirements, and guidelines of our association. We will take the time to answer all of your questions and ask some questions ourselves. If we progress further there is a question and answer session with some of our affiliate members. This is an excellent opportunity to get more information and to see what it is like to be part of the Caio Terra Association. The final steps is a reference and background check. All US members must go through this, process, no exceptions!

CAN ANYONE JOIN THE ASSOCIATION? ANY BELT REQUIREMENT?Expand

Although Jiu Jitsu is for everyone not everyone who applies will be accepted. This is for a variety of different reasons, it's important that you are a good fit for us and more importantly that we are a good fit for you and your business. To be an affiliate you must be at least a blue belt level and in good standing with people in your community.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I AM ACCEPTED?Expand

Once you are approved and all the forms have been completed, signed and sent back, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits that the association has to offer including exclusive access to all curriculum material and the online network where ALL association black belts (including Caio) are available to answer questions. We will also add you on our listings on our various media outlets and websites and help with marketing.

DO MY STUDENTS AND FRIENDS GET INSTANT ACCESS?Expand

ANY and ALL members of the Caio Terra Association, regardless if they are an instructor or student, will have access to the online networking and can ask Professor questions. People who are not directly affiliated with CTA however can not access these things. If they sign on with your id, it will be treated accordingly as outlined in our CTA association agreement.

HOW IS CTA MERCHANDISE DISTRIBUTED?Expand

We have a CTA store that offers wholesale pricing to owners and discount pricing to students. In addition to the gear available on the website, we also allow gym owners to make their own merchandise (with approval).

HOW ARE DUES PAID? AND IS THERE ANY OTHER FEES?Expand

Dues are paid either monthly or annually, and there are NO additional fees. Seminars are strongly encouraged but not mandatory. We offer several camps a year that we encourage all affiliates to attend. These camps typically have several world champs and ratio of 1 black belt to 3 non-black belts. They indeed are game-changing. All association members get a discount for camps!

HOW DO PROMOTIONS WORK?Expand

You will be sent this information when you join! We follow IBJJF guidelines and have minimum requirements for every belt level. You also MUST learn Professor Caio Terra's Curriculum.
