Overview

  • The Supreme Federal Court hosted a session called “O Jiu‑Jitsu como Transformação Social” where Minister Luiz Fux led training for 45 children and adolescents served by judicial‑police social projects.
  • Fux told reporters that jiu‑jitsu builds an “independence olympic” for judges and said judges should have encyclopedic knowledge and nobility of character.
  • The event highlighted volunteer work by judicial‑police instructors who are black belts and who use martial arts to teach citizenship, self‑esteem and development opportunities.
  • STF judicial police secretary Marcelo Schettini helped organize and participate in the training, continuing the court’s public outreach using martial‑arts programs.
  • Fux’s participation follows his 2019 coral‑belt recognition and a 2024 training with BOPE and Maré youths, underlining a pattern of using jiu‑jitsu for institutional visibility and social outreach.
