History
Established in 2011.
Elizandro (Eli) Beda has been training Jiu Jitsu for 19 years. Originally from Brazil, Eli came to the United States to compete in the 2009 Worlds tournament. While at the tournament, a friend, Robert Drysdale, who lives in the United States, asked him if he wanted to teach at a local gym in Folsom, California until he needed to return home to Brazil. With this opportunity, he built what is currently called Beda Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy, which is affiliated with Checkmat, Leonardo Vieira.
