The Valente Brothers School of Coral Gables is owned by James Robertson (Jimmy) and Burak Eyilike. Jimmy has been studying Jiu-Jitsu for over 20 years. He learned directly from Pedro Valente. Pedro Valente and his brothers learned self defense under the Grand Master Hélio Gracie, the founder of the martial art Gracie Jiu-Jitsu also known as the Hélio Gracie Self-Defense System.
