The club was founded in August of 2018. At the beginning, immediately after its founding, there were only 4 people practicing. Currently there more than 70 practitioners, among whom more than 20 children and up to 50 adults. During this period, the club's competitors have won more than 150 medals from international tournaments held at home and abroad.

Between August 1, 2018 - July 1, 2021, the club was part of the International Association "Rio Grappling", led by world champion Roberto Atalla. The need for close proximity and control by a senior instructor, as well as the pursuit of new knowledge, necessitated the management of the club to decide and join the family of one of the biggest clubs in Bulgaria, and also in the Balkans - "Twisted Jiu-jitsu".

There is nothing better but to draw knowledge and experience from some of the best in the craft, namely a club that is under the Association of 12-time world champion Caio Terra.
