The Checkmat team is led by world-class leaders Leonardo “Leozinho” Vieira (elected the 3rd best fighter of the 90s by Gracie Magazine) along with his brothers Ricardo “Ricardinho” Vieira (9 times world champion) and Leandro “Leandrinho” Vieira (1x Brazilian champion).

It was founded in 2008 and is considered one of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission schools today. Its name was chosen in reference to the chess tactics and strategies that are very similar to jiu-jitsu and also to connect with the word “mat”.
