Our School

We offer a welcoming, family-style environment paired with top-tier training at Kronos Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes and our other programs are kept fun, while maintaining discipline and focus. We keep our training detail-oriented for students, with a heavy emphasis on the basics. As a hybrid facility, our training is kept up-to-date as we continuously adapt in technique. We combine old and new school while also incorporating Physiotraining into everything we do. Students are provided individualized training, with personalized 1-on-1 focus that carries into all our programs. All of our programs are taught by a diverse group of experts. This includes owner Giulio Timoteo, who was a student at the renowned Carlson Gracie Club – under Marcelo Alonzo, Marcelo Saporito, and Ronaldo Santos, earned his black belt under De La Riva in October 2007, and took mentorship under Fabio Novaes when he moved to Florida. Our expertise, led by Giulio and our family culture has made our academy a special place to be!

Our History

Kronos Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has found a home with our Lauderhill Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school. Owner Giulio Timoteo opened his own school doors first in 2006, later joining the Kronos family in 2022, and settled at our Lauderhill Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school location in 2023. Professor Giulio has trained in martial arts all his life, beginning in Judo at a young age. Then in 1992, everything changed. Professor Giulio began training in BJJ at the age of 19 under the Carlson Gracie Club in Copa Cabona, Brazil. He stayed under the Club’s guidance for a long time, and then decided he wanted to open his own school. His goal in opening a school has always been to improve students’ lives and help everyone become a better person. He continues that goal every day with every student that enters our doors.
