History

The Dream Art Project was founded in São Paulo, Brazil in October 2018 by black belt world champion Isaque Bahiense in collaboration with Alliance Jiu Jitsu.[3] It was started as a social project to support highly talented young jiu-jitsu athletes from low-income families, by providing them, in addition to BJJ training, with access to education, healthcare and English classes. Early on Alliance Manaus joined the Dream Art Project bringing grapplers such as Micael Galvao.[4]

In September 2021 Dream Art announced their separation from Alliance.[5]

In 2022 Dream Art started collaborating with Aspire To Inspire in order to expand in the US. In July 2022, famed grappler Paulo Miyao became Dream Art's new head coach.[6][7]

In 2023, several Dream Art members left the team.[8]

Notable members

Dream Art Project world champions include: Nicholas Meregali, Anna Rodrigues, Bia Mesquita, and Erich Munis.[9]
