The coach

Leonardo
Patricio

Leo is a Brazilian athletic performance coach. His foundation is four years training and competing in Muay Thai, followed by three years dedicated to bodybuilding, where he learned discipline, strength and conditioning.

Today he works closely with high-level Brazilian professional athletes, including jiu-jitsu competitors, and especially with kids. His mission is to build stronger, faster athletes, physically and mentally. Not only as athletes, but as people.

Corbin · @corbinbjj

Built rep
by rep.

Corbin's physique didn't change overnight. He showed up week after week and trained under Leo's direct supervision, with every session coached and every block adjusted to how his body was responding.

That consistency made the difference: more muscle, a leaner frame and the strength to back it up.

What top athletes and clients say about training with Leo.

Digo Dias · jiu-jitsuFrom 2024 to this year, I've had significant physical growth. I started training with Leo at the beginning of this year, focusing on gaining more strength in jiu-jitsu. Today, I feel much stronger and more confident during sparring. He also helped me a lot with weight cutting, with specific workouts, cardio and support. I made the right choice, and I know we'll grow a lot more together!

FAQ

Before you
start.

Do I need to be a competitive athlete?

No. Leo trains pros, young athletes and everyday clients alike. The program is scaled to where you are and where you want to go.

Will strength training slow down my jiu-jitsu?

Done right, it does the opposite. Programs are built around your mat schedule so you get stronger without showing up to class exhausted.

Do you train kids?

Yes, it's one of Leo's specialties. Kids build discipline, consistency and confidence with coached, age-appropriate strength work.
