Professor Bolinha

Meet Victor Diniz de Araújo

From Goiânia to Tilburg, Victor has built his life around Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He started training as a teenager in Brazil, grew through hard rooms and committed teachers, and earned his black belt in 2012.

Victor Bolinha Diniz de Araújo

Professor led

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu taught with detail, patience and real mat experience.

Background

His early years shaped the way he teaches now: practical technique, honest effort and respect for the process. Victor understands what it means to train with limited resources, to keep showing up, and to learn from every round.

Teaching became part of his path early. What began with helping friends on the mat grew into a profession, first in Brazil and later in Belgium, where a short teaching opportunity became a new chapter in Europe.

Today Victor is based in Tilburg, where he teaches adults, children and competitors. His classes are technical and structured, but always human: clear expectations, room to learn, and attention to the person behind the athlete.

As a coach, referee and seminar teacher, Victor brings the same standard everywhere. He wants students to understand the why behind positions, rules and decisions, not only copy movements.

Team Bolinha, kids classes, seminars and TopBJJ all come from that same foundation: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a way to build confidence, discipline, community and long-term growth.
