At DAUNTLESS We Have Over 18 Years Of Teaching Experience In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our Chief Instructor Allen J. Sachetti and Senior Instructor Maribeth Sachetti are both Black Belts In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu With Certifications From Rickson Gracie, Royler Gracie & Luiz Palhares.
THE BEST THING About Dauntless However Is How We Teach. You See Many BJJ Schools Today Are NOT Really Schools, But More Or Less Clubs Where You Go There And The Teacher USES YOU For HIM To Practice On. In These Places The Teacher Usually Works Another Job During The Day And Then At Night, Well It’s All About Him And You Go Over Whatever Technique He Wants To Do (Which Is Always Out Of Sequence For You) And Then He USES YOU To Wrestle At The End For Him To Practice On. This Certainly Is Not The Right Way To Learn.
WELL NOT AT DAUNTLESS – Here You Get Step By Step Proper Instruction With All Details & Nothing Being Held Back. You Are Taught In Proper Progression With An Actual Curriculum That Covers ALL Positions That You Need In The Fundemental Course And Then The Mroe Advanced Material In The Intermediate Course. Your Wrestling Is Done First Positionally With Careful Instruction To Point Out For You How The Moves Actually Work Until You Get It. This Is Why Dauntless BJJ Students GET GOOD FAST & With Less Injuries.
IF YOU Really Want To Develop A Truly In Depth BJJ Understanding Of Principals & Technique Along With Absolutely The Most Effective Performance Ability In Actual Grappling Then Learn With The Dauntless BJJ Curriculum. This Curriculum Designed By Mr. Sachetti Is Truly A Masterpiece Of Functional Instruction That Takes You Through Each Aspect & Level Of Jiu-Jitsu Creating Wrestling Experiences That Cultivate Your Body & Mind To Change.

THE DAUNTLESS BJJ LINEAGE
In 1914 Japanese Jiu-Jitsu Champion Esai Maeda arrived in Brazil, where he was aided by a Brazilian official named Gastao Gracie. In return he taught Gastao’s sons Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastao, Jorge & Helio Gracie the ancient art of Jiu-Jitsu. In 1925 Carlos Gracie and his brothers opened the first Jiu-Jitsu academy in Botafogo a district within Rio de Janeiro. Helio Gracie (the youngest brother) due to his frail health was forbidden from doing anything physical. However he got involved at 16 by substituting for his brother Carlos. Despite his small frame and weight Helio created an art that depended entirely upon Technique instead of strength or speed. Daring to break away from the Japanese style he went onto modify and refine the art through constant real “No Holds Barred Fights”, into what we now know today as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
1994-2002
Rickson Gracie (see to the left of Mr. Allen J. Sachetti) the son of Helio Gracie & elder brother of Royce Gracie (of UFC fame) was born into Jiu-Jitsu starting competition at age 6, he started teaching at the age of 15 and at 18 he received his Black Belt. Rickson’s fighting career has been to say the least Phenomenal, at 20 Rickson won an inspiring victory against a 230lb, Brazilian Champion named Zulu, who until then enjoyed a 140-0 NHB record.
In 1996 Allen J. Sachetti (seen right) tested for his Blue Belt In BJJ directly under Rickson Gracie. It was a 5 hour test and only 11 out of 18 were passed. After that Mr. Sachetti continued training with Rickson in Private Lessons, Seminars and Group Classes to go onto Earn a Purple Belt. Mrs. Maribeth Sachetti earned her Blue Belt from the Rickson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Association on 11/11/01 and went onto train with Royler Gracie, Renato Migliaccio and Luiz Palhares a senior student of Rickson Gracie.
2002 – 2005

After Roll’s death Luiz continued training under Rickson Gracie for years. Luiz was brought from Brazil to teach at Rickson’s Academy in L.A. and he is a 6th Degree Black Belt given his Black Belt directly from Rickson Gracie.

Allen Sachetti was promoted to a well earned Black Belt by Luiz Palahares in November of 2007.
Heres a quote from U.S. Special Forces about Luiz: Master Palhares, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the superb combatives training you and your sons Pedro and Cesar provided to the men of the 3rd Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne) during our preparation for a combat deployment to Afghanistan. We chose your program based on your unique experience training Navy SEALs, Marines, Soldiers and civilian law enforcement personnel as well as being certified as a Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) instructor. I’m convinced the training you provided helped to prepare our men for the physical and emotional stress of combat and contributed to our overall mission success. Thank you again and we look forward to future training opportunities. – John Pelleriti / Lieutenant Colonel, US Army Special Forces
The Luiz Palhares Brazilian Training Camp 2006
Claudio Fontes is the partner of Maestro Luiz Palhares and Mr. Allen J. Sachetti met him in Brazil at the Luiz Palhares Training Camp. (Seen left in Brazil)
Claudio is a phenomenal teacher who trained me 4 hours a day every day, 7 days a week. I learned a lot from him and got to wrestle consistently with two of his Black Belts who were 3 Time Mundal World Champions. Not to mention a lot younger too.
Claudio has an expertise and skill level not often seen. He really upgraded my Jiu-Jitsu and I am very happy to call him my friend. Luiz and Claudio provide the Luiz Palhares Association a wealth of experience and knowledge that we at Dauntless BJJ Academy are happy to be a part of their Team!
The nicest thing perhaps about this BJJ Camp was not only the excellent level and quantity of technique being taught but also the number of legitimate BJJ Black Belts who were there that I got to constantly wrestle with. They were great and really brought my competitive level up to a much higher conditioning level. The heat, the reps and the Skill Level of the people there were all amazing factors for my improvement.
